TAK lightweight down jacket which you may recognise from quite a few of my outdoor videos. Jacket on Amazon (worldwide link): http://geni.us/cepxO Click 'SHOW MORE' for full video description.
This is a really good jacket and believe it or not it's my first down jacket - I have always gone for much heavier shooting style jackets which often haven't scored highly for warmth but are excellent at keeping me dry.
How such a light jacket as this (only 350g) keeps me so warm still confuses me but it is a very happy sort of confusion.
Toward the end of the video I create the ultimate marriage of down jacket and hunting smock to form an extreme weather torso shaped sauna....it will make sense when you watch the video....
