When it comes to insulated jackets, most people - perhaps especially most walkers - just want something that's affordable and warm. The Torridon Insulated Jacket gives you both, says Rob Greenwood, with a competitive price and enough beef to keep you snug into the darkest depths of winter.
It's good to see such a positive review of a middle-of-the-market item at a reasonable price. Those of us who aren't super alpinists don't need to spend twice as much on the latest lightest items (albeit I might covet the new ME jacket also reviewed, which I don't actually need).
Yes I'm very impressed with a Tog24 (warning: Ramblers' brand!!!) insulated jacket that I bought for £40 recently, as a stop gap until I find my ancient DAS Parka which I've lost (long story). Am I tempted to buy a new DAS, even in a sale? Not particularly.
