very nice jackets (if you can get one of the older ones that were made in the UK even better).

what size you looking for ?

I have the Summit Extreme one (with sealed seams) which is very similar - It is fantastic, and makes a very good pillow when you get back to your tent.

Over the winter it saw some pretty cold weather, but I was toastie.

Only thing I'd say is it's cooler when leaning against something (but I think this applies to all down jackets)

Not necessarily looking for rab extreme exclusively but for the best jacket for what i'm doing.

not that i'm really looking to sell but at the right price i would consider. i have a medium in excellent condition (made in UK)

In reply to lost1977: Is there any chance you could mail me some pics of the jacket so i can take a look at condition ect....also generally i'm a small but bought a size up for my Alpkit filo down jacket as i'd wear it over layers, the same will obviously apply for this jacket, what is the sizing like, is it large for medium or on the small side?
