I bought the youth version for our kid.
It's a nice jacket, if a little heavy, but you get that extra durability and at a good price.
She reports the warmth and breath ability to be good. The hood is good but I doubt you would get a helmet under it.
I would buy one for winter hillwalking and easy gullies etc
We are issued them. They are fairly good as an MR jacket but not convinced I'd buy one as a personal jacket. They are quite heavy and bulky which is good for keeping you warm when stop start searching or hanging around a a cas site but not so great for a full day out walking / climbing.
1.1kg :o! Even Mountain Equipment Kongur MRT (no personal experience with it) with 80D fabric/150D reinforcements weighs 670g. The Keela one must be nail-proof then...
I had about 12 years out my first Keela Munro and didn't hesitate to replace it with another. They are pretty heavy duty. Can be a bit too warm but they do have some interesting arm vents which work but are a tad fiddly. They are good value.
As Andy said they are standard issue in our MRTs which was due in the case of my team to an un-refusable offer from Keela.
I personally don't like the Munro, I find it heavy (they don't quote a weight on their website), bulky and I've had issues from new (read, fresh out the packaging) with the waterproofing.
Would recommend shopping around and finding a decent gore tex jacket for around the same price
