I've got a multi day trip planned for mid April in the Highlands and I've been upgrading my kit from my bike packing rig. I've got the kit list sorted bar a few questions that the combined knowledge and opinions of the hive mind can help with.

* Warm belay jacket - down or primaloft? When mountaineer it's synthetic all the way in case you're in a bad weather situation but here I can just get in a tent or bothy. Down is lighter and warmer but doesn't like the rain at all.

* Rain cover for packs or just deal with damp packs as the bulk of stuff will already be in dry bags for organisation.
