UKC

Hello,
I'm after a new down jacket, does anyone know of any good deals anywhere at the moment? I have had a look and no one seems to have any sales on any. Want something super warm and weather proof. Something like Rabs infinity endurance.
Thanks in advance!

There are plenty of deals at the mo, although they tend to be light- and mid-weight jackets: Blacks and The Epicentre both have sales on (I got a Sherpa Dengboche jacket - lightish - from The Epicentre for sixty five quid, which is a ridiculous bargain).

Alternatively, sportspursuit turn them up regularly, provided last year's colours aren't too embarrassing to be seen in.

I would have thought someone as fat as you would not need a Down Jacket.

Go to outdoor action in Blackburn, they had some great deals last year.

In reply to efrance24234:

Have a look at ultimateoutdoors.com. Think they might be the sister site of blacks, but they do some real outdoor stuff instead of highstreet shite.
They've got some 'black Friday' deals on at the moment and they've got some ace deals on rab, arcteryx and jack wolfskin down jackets amongst others. I got a cerium lt for under half price.

Can't see much wrong with this one, at that price?

These decathlon links (secure) don't work with IE11/Edge - can't work out if it's the certificate or the cipher, or something else Microsoft doesn't like.....

In reply to Kipper:

Seems Edge has trouble with quite a few websites.

The Decathlon website is pretty awful though. That Forclaz 900 jacket is 75/25 down/feather, and no quoted fill power. It's damned cheap at £40, though...

In reply to efrance24234:

PHD sale is on right now. Some pretty good deals.

In reply to crustypunkuk:


But be warned they use Hermes couriers, possibly the worlds most useless couriers. They don't even give you the option of collecting the item from them and after 3 random attempts in the middle of the working day they send stuff back to the sender.

In reply to gethin_allen:

I don't need to worry about it- 2 days after I bought and paid for the jacket I was sent a refund with no email to explain. Frankly pish service and I'm not going to be in a hurry to use them again, no matter how good the deal.

In reply to crustypunkuk:

Nice, Blacks were/are (are they still going?) not known for their customer service skills, sounds like they haven't changed anything other than the name.
My jacket is in the hands of Hermes and who knows if I'll ever get hold of it.

In reply to gethin_allen:

Obviously, we all have different experiences. But I've found Blacks excellent in the last few years - some decent kit on astounding deals, often with even bigger discounts with a voucher - and quick communication with delayed or out of stock items. Never heard of the sister company, though.

In reply to efrance24234:

I wouldn't go for the Ininity Indurance, the body and forearms are pretext quantum and that material becomes pretty absorbent. Go for a full pretext endurance jacket
