Carinthia MIG 4.0 or KEELA Belay 5.0 ecw

Looking at saving for one of the coats above for next winter for hillwalking nights and stops

Any one got experience of either of the two above. I use buffalo on the move and don’t like down jackets struggled with keeping these dry.

I did own a MIG 4.0 for a bit before realising ( for me ) it was just too much and the rustling was doing my head in.

Buy one, ty it for a bit and send back

Rustling would be annoying for me as well. Hoping to drive to a shop an hour or so away when I get a day off and try them both.
Using a softie but want something warmer and the new Snugpak’s coats just don’t cut it in the fit and quality.

I have the Carinthia LIG4 which I find warm enough for the current UK winters with just a long sleeved T shirt. The LiG is also cheaper but without an insulated hood. The G-Loft material is the warmest to weight insulation I have ever experienced. Will take a shower without losing any heat. Highly recommended.

Don’t know much about that one, thanks. Got plenty of time to research this one as well before I buy at the right price.
