So with the down liner, I assume you must decide before venturing out, how cold you’ll be.
Although the top is simple to put on, the trousers are going to be a faff.
Or does it need to be really cold before you need them?
So far i have found them to be quite good at temp regulation.
Obviously I have not used it in any heat yet and it would be stoopid to wear a down jacket and trousers when its a glorious summer day but as said in previous post i was warm enough at low of 4 deg and not too hot at 8 so i reckon 13 or below the down suit is on !
As for getting it off an on yes the trousers would be a faff but then again not as much faff as zip in liners and the same goes for the jacket. Both the down jacket and trousers do pack up very very small so again a big advantage over traditional zip in liners.
On the reviews the first thoughts were that the down suit seperate to the outer garment was madness but then went on to say it was genius
