Uniqlo down puffa - any good?

Does anyone have a Uniqlo down puffa? Is it warm enough for the coldest days in a UK winter? They look great and are very comfy but difficult to tell how toasty they keep you when you're just trying it on in the shop.

I have a thin one which is nice and warm for an autumn day but it sheds a massive amount of feathers. I can only wear light coloured tops under it so if I need to take it's not so obvious.

They have different warmths - there's the ordinary ones and the ultra light and the ultra warm. I have one which is the ordinary weight, I think, and it's fine (with a scarf) for cold weekend days, but that's in London, which I realise is not the whole UK Grin. I have a heavier one (a different brand) for work days, which can involve waiting at bus stops. If you live somewhere in the north where it gets much colder, and you're outside a lot, I'd try the ultra warm version. (I should add that I am usually always cold, so if you are a warmer person then bear that in mind).

I’m in Edinburgh and have been fine with the ultra light down one so far. I find it far warmer than my massive furry hooded puffa jacket!

I have an ultra light one, if it's super cold I wear it under a wool jacket and I'm very warm, but I find it inadequate if it's windy.
