Uniqlo ultra-light down coats - any good?

[Brillig]

I was eyeing these up earlier today. Tried one on and it didn't look too Michelin-man-like. But I'm finding it hard to believe that something so thin can actually be warm. Has anyone tried them? What do you think?

I have one and I love it. It is 3/4 length and is really cosy.

They are lovely and warm.

I've got a gilet. It is warm but I wear a thick jumper layer underneath.

Thanks all. I might just go for it, in that case.....they'll disappear like greased lightning as soon as it actually gets cold, so I ought to buy one now!

I know someone who wears one, including under another, waterproof coat. She loves it

I have one....I live in London and its warm enough except on freezing days. Generally happy with it.

I have one, it's all right. I like how it squashes down to nothing. Haven't tried it in really cold weather though.
