Flylite Ultra

Flylite fabric is designed to give superb wind resistance and excellent breathability – making it ideal for lightweight outerwear.

Primaloft

PrimaLoft is incredibly soft, lightweight and breathable with excellent water repellency so you remain dry, warm and comfortable, even under the most extreme conditions.

Ounce for ounce as warm as down, Primaloft microfibres are similar in size and shape to down, resulting in nearly equal insulating performance when dry and even better when wet.

Because its individual fibres are water repellent, Primaloft retains much of its ability to keep you warm, even when moisture has soaked through.

TRAIL MAGAZINE - "WARM, PRACTICAL AND HARD WEARING".

Keela’s Talus jacket is one of the best value synthetic jackets around. The new Solo is its bigger brother, with heavier weight 133gms (100gsm in the sleeves) PrimaLoft Gold fill encased in a tough Flylite Cordura nylon shell. That makes it a little bulkier and heavier but significantly boosts overall warmth. And it’s still packable enough to stuff in your rucksack, which makes the Solos a good no-nonsense extra layer for cold summits and exposed hillsides.

Verdict – warm, practical and hard wearing, this chunky synthetic jacket delivers excellent on the hill performance in cold, damp conditions.

MOTORCARAVAN MOTORHOME MONTHLY - "BOTH LIGHTWEIGHT AND WARM, AS WELL AS WATER RESISTANT".

This new jacket from Scottish outdoor gear firm, Keela, manages to be both lightweight (680g) and warm, as well as water resistant. Plus, it can be squished into the smallest of packages, so you don’t need to sacrifice half your wardrobe.

That’s all thanks to Primaloft insulation – unlike traditional down found in insulated jackets, this material keeps working even when wet, as well as being more compressible and lighter. The hood is fixed, while there’s an inner pocket (apparently, it’s map compatible) and one on each side for your hands. Hem and hood have corded adjustment while sleeves are half-elasticated, but still adjustable.
