Uniqlo Down Collection Winter Jacket

Hi, i had just bought a down collection winter clothes from Uniqlo for $169.90 as a gift but my friend don't like. I am willing to sell at $120. Price tag still there, you can go to uniqlo outlet to change the design and size within 30days from 4 Dec 2010. Interested parties please pm me. Thank you. =)

Hi ppl.... I see that most peeps in here have experience traveling to winter countries.

Wouldn't want to thread-jack with non-Japan related queries, so would you mind helping me out with some queries in my thread here?

Need some sound advice in preparation for trip. Thanks!

I went to Uniqlo yesterday, no sales so far. :(

I had more time on hand to try out the winter clothings yesterday, and my my... i'm glad I tried out the various options. Here're some reviews:


Esprit
- Tried out an outer shell jacket (retailing about $249), layered with scarf, a fleece jacket and my own polo tee. Walked around the shop for about 10 mins... It was kind of disappointing to say that I don't feel warm.. nor even heated up at all. :(

Uniqlo
- Went to the store, and I tried out the Down coat (SPED) retailing for $249.90.
http://www.uniqlo.com/sg/explorer.html#/code:066372-000-09/

This, I give thumbs up. Wearing just this alone over my polo, I started to feel warm in under 5mins. I suppose this will work even better when I add in layers.

One thing that my fren commented on this jacket, is that the internal down pockets are quite small (compared to the $169.90 down jacket's), which is a good design. This ensures that the down will not deteriorate over time. (e.g all the down starts to accumulate to the bottom of the jacket)

- Went on to try out the Down jacket retailing for $169.90.
http://www.uniqlo.com/sg/explorer.html#/code:065951-000-09/

Having started out with the higher end one, this one dulls in comparison in terms of thermal protection. I think it takes a longer time to heat up with this coat, but it will still do it's job with several other layers.

- Lastly, I tried out the Premium Down Ultralight jacket (which I initially had wanted to get it so much due to budget constraint). But... it feels so thin. Thermal protection value-wise, IMO $99.90 doesn't seem to justify at all.

Conclusion... I'm quite satisfied with the Down coat (SPED). But for $249.90, I think topping up abit more can get a decent TNF? I'm gonna look around some more. Any TNF users who can recommend a reasonably priced model?

erm...if u do realised that lightings in uniqlo are quite strong and they use a lot of halogen lightings and u will tend to get "warmed up" pretty fast. i had an espirit down jacket n bought it like 2 to 3 years ago. still serving me well and keeps me pretty warm n snuggly :)
