Stainless steel guards will be heavier than rubber/plastic ones.
With old crampons you're without gloves longer mežikanje, you have to thread the strap through more loops.

Depends how old you mean? nasmeh
Are those crampons you have in mind more like these: http://www.hribi.net/slika.asp?malioglas=1324 or these http://www.njuskalo.hr/stare-stvari/planinarsko-alpinisticke-retro-dereze-oglas-9580639 ?

If similar to the latter (or have that attachment method I think they won't suit you long-term (big force when tying - consequently squeezes the boot hard). You have to consider that in real use you won't always attach them in ideal conditions and they take quite some time and bring not a few complications.

Good universal crampons you get new for around 65-70€, second hand even less. Much simpler to adjust and tie.
Example:

http://www.kibuba.com/zimska-oprema/dereze/klasicne-dereze?pID=5134&q=dereze

P.S.
If you enjoy making things yourself, then at least buy crampons similar to the first link, because the attachment method is a bit better/more advanced... though the best choice is some "more modern type" of universal crampons nasmeh

Those that Smetar suggested from Kibuba will be the best choice, I have them and I'm satisfied, mounting is quick as well as dismounting.

Thanks for the quick help nasmeh! Yes, otherwise like the first ones,
just Raveltik ones.
Already looked in Kibuba too. CT 10 or 12 teeth really good price, only bothers me a bit that they're painted and paint peels off judging by numerous comments but I think it won't be an obstacle, I might really get those, since with straps they come cheaper than any in Iglu (generally I do most shopping at Kibuba, just this week first time bought at Iglu.. Well this time spent more and I'm about even mrk pogled velik nasmeh ).

Hello, does anyone own a jacket with eVent membrane? Zajo has a collection of jackets from that material. In technical specs they praise the membrane as top of the top, but how is it in practice? Does anyone own a Zajo jacket, e.g. Rekyavik Neo?
Thanks for answers and best regards.

Buying a hiking jacket for winter hikes (up to max. -10°C), budget 50-80 EUR - some deal given the current time. I'd buy a down jacket, but it bothers me that the feathers start to smell when they get wet (sweat, moisture...). Any suggestions? Thanks for the tips.

For that money you'll hardly get a good down jacket. When I was also looking to buy a good down jacket myself, I found out that under 200 EUR it's hard to get a good one mežikanje Given that a fluffy touring ski skirt costs 100 EUR, and it's much smaller than a down jacket, it would be strange to get a good down jacket that cheap. But the skirt is worth its money, it warms the butt and thighs, holds up in rain too so you're not wet. Don't know, maybe someone has different experiences.

Thanks for the info. Yes, it's true, but you can get good down jackets under 100 EUR at sale prices. One from the brand is reduced from 200 EUR to 90 EUR, I'd take it but the feather smell when damp bothers me. nasmeh So rather a warmer hiking jacket. Or do you recommend more a warm fleece and over it a water/windproof windbreaker?

ppegan4. 01. 2021 11:18:40
No problem nasmeh For me it works best to put a merino shirt underneath, then a vest that doesn't let wind through, so the torso is protected, then some fleece over it - depending on the cold, how thick the fleece is, I have a whole range nasmeh When I reach the top (if I don't bother to change), then I put a windstopper or anorak over it, whatever is handier.

Of course, everything depends on the individual... how they dress, react to cold, how they hike in the mountains and what difficulty... I advocate wool... from long johns, t-shirt, socks, hat, gloves... velik nasmeh ...and vest!!! ...otherwise non-membrane (softshell is the biggest nonsense I bought), because I sweat a lot, don't like it blowing through my crotch... on top jacket and "down jacket"... yeah, down is really natural and light, and very compressible, but I don't want to wash it nonstop per the required procedure velik nasmeh ...therefore, for years I've used synthetic fillings, i.e. hollow fibers (Primaloft etc.), which work fully even when damp... I also advocate "price-performance"... my tip (at least to try, you can return anyway), in "D" store hunting section has a decent jacket (check under thickness "900"), for decent money... if color no issue... as for anorak, for my usage (couloir climbing, scree, skiing), I advocate robustness velik nasmeh

Yes, the advantage of a good down jacket is the ratio between weight and thermal insulation. That's why you need to check what's inside. Down/feather ratio, what "size" down (cuin), duck or goose down. That's why there are big price differences.
For damp, wet environments, synthetic fillings (Primaloft) are really super. But they seem around 100+ EUR to me.

I'm also a big fan of synthetic filling. You can wash it yourself (not in the dry cleaner), every 10 days if needed. Rain can soak you, and it will be dry again overnight... After washing, real down would "clump" in some areas and the down jacket would lose warmth. If you use it a lot and sweat a lot, it will start smelling quickly. I'd buy a real down jacket only if temperatures here were below -10.

Last year I tried on some Berg down jackets, all -60% off because the company went bankrupt and our importer wanted to sell them off. Then they were apparently bought up by AS Sport and now they are selling them on. But then I preferred to take a synthetic one... If it suits someone and it's their size... Every now and then they have a coupon on FB for an additional 10 percent. I have some of their cross-country gear and it's top quality...

Thanks to all for the tips. After reading, I think it's almost better to buy a warm fleece for during the hike and a windbreaker over it on top so no wind blows through. Because I sweat quite a bit while hiking, I think a down jacket would not be suitable. It's probably warmer than fleece + windbreaker, but up to -5 degrees it would probably be ok. nasmeh

You've decided well. For one-day, usual winter ascents you don't need a down jacket. I recommend a vest too, because in fleece you'll often be hot. It depends on how sensitive to cold you are.
Otherwise, there are harder one-day ascents where you're belaying someone in the cold. Then down comes in handy. At least a down vest.
For multi-day ascents and bivouacs there's no dilemma what to take along.

I often miss the vest if I don't take it. Down jacket packed in the backpack just in case, it's handy often too. Such packable one into a sack, almost weightless nasmeh.

Otherwise yes, fleece and windbreaker.

For one-day winter hikes to 1500m max, of course. velik nasmeh That's why no need for a down jacket and it bothers me because it starts smelling when sweated in. So is a warm fleece enough for hiking around 0 degrees? Windbreaker over it on top and descent so no blow through.

Zebdi5. 01. 2021 09:44:27
For walking around 0 degrees, a thin fleece (Powerstretch) is enough for me. If it's windy, I put on a really thin windstopper over it. For breaks, nothing beats a down jacket over it.

That you can't get a solid down jacket for 100 EUR isn't quite true. The one in Decathlon isn't bad at all. Karrimor's were around that price too, if I remember correctly (Elite series, I think). If you have time, you can follow online sales and regularly check outlets (Sportpursuit often has great prices, but you need to register).
