Insulating Jackets for UK

For January in Ireland I would go with synthetic as good chance it will be above freezing a lot of the time and very wet. Scotland is generally colder so down may be more useful, but it could be pouring rain also.

Go with Synthetic if you have one that’s warm enough and bring proper rain gear.

I’m leaning towards synthetic but I’m concerned about getting something that would be warm enough for Scotland. Any suggestions?

What are you coming to Scotland to do?

January temperatures are typically -5C to +10C (sometimes in a single day!) but can be -10C or less if you are lucky.

I would personaly go for a 200gm2 parka.

Or a 100gm2 with a light down piece underneath.

You have Wiggy’s, made in England. Why not go with one of their jackets?

Otherwise I’d get one insulated with Climashield if you want the loft to last.
