I also have a RAB generator smock and that's awesome, but I wouldnt say as warm, on it's own accord anyways, but it also a lot lighter. It's synthetic though and as such I don't have to worry about it getting wet. With that in mind most of my of my equipment is now synthetic for the same reason.
That alpkit site must be one of the most frustrating web shop ever, do they ever have anything in stock. (apart from the jackets that is)
My wife has a RAB Neutrino Endurance down jacket, i think she actually prays from snow and frost so she can wear it, she loves it and claims its the warmest jacket shes owned, (especially when shes rushing between john Lewis and Craigdons
),
I have an old berghaus down/goretex expedition jacket, that is far to warm even with just a t shirt on underneath for what i do in this country, more suitable to propaa adventurers in afy cold places, its going to the big ebay god someday
just ordered a Patagonia down sweater yesterday, seems to have very decent reviews and the half price sale convinced me
