Since I'm the type that gets cold easily, I'm thinking of getting a down jacket for cold days - for mountaineering needs (not alpinism). Something light and warm.
Since I have no clue about down jackets, I'd ask for some advice or tip on what to watch out for.
I've noticed that down jackets are filled - some with goose down, others with synthetic fibers ??
Anyway, what are your experiences - maybe even a specific suggestion (brand, model).
Thanks.

Judging by the conditions at the hut in Kam. Bistrica, I assess that any further drive tempts fate. Even for 4x4 vehicles. Icy.

Unfortunately there are more and more such "world champions" lately.

To my knowledge, so far only the Kamnik marksmen have received a fine for parking on Jermanci, who parked right at the end of Jermanca (as far as you can drive). Of course, the inspectors didn't know that the vehicles belonged to marksmen who were on a work action that day.
I don't know of anyone else ever being fined for parking on Jermanci.
Grega from the shore - write once more why the sign is there, so people won't burden themselves unnecessarily.

Here you have quite a large selection.

Locally you search and try on, online order - it's much cheaper.

Today visited Pokljuka. Quite soaked, but practically no sign of mushrooms. Seems too cold.

If you don't have an extraordinary build, you can get the right size (every manufacturer has a size chart in cm next to the product).
Even better to try on locally and order abroad .
For say 60% discount it's worth the effort.

If you master online shopping, you can find a lot here:

Tone - nice video, from what was seen wonderful tour. Are there any issues on the path - technical or orientation? Hard to find gully start?

For day hikes I use Deuter guide 35+, for two- or more-day ones Deuter guide 45+. Excellent backpacks, I miss only the rain cover, which can be bought separately. Especially for winter day hikes the 35 l backpack is not "too big" at all.

Winter gear is definitely recommended for this route right now, otherwise the risk of "Okrešelj express" is quite high.

Today with a colleague I visited Kamnik Saddle.
Snow starts somewhere in Klin, track to Pastirci was made, from there on mixed. If you're lucky you go on top, often sink to waist. On return snow fully crusted, crunching hard to ground.
Otherwise great sunny day, almost no wind.

On the GRS Kamnik page, the news about the two rescued girls from Brana is dated 7.1.16.

Isn't this a bit old news from January 7th?

As Red Bull wrote. No crampons needed to go up, down maybe small ones for better feel. Conditions for hiking excellent.
Road to Jermanca dry.

Skala 123 - we met; we later had wonderful sun and nice views.
