Firstly, delivery via DPD was excellent. Ordered Wednesday evening and arrived Friday lunchtime within the pre-advised, hour delivery slot. Bought as an alternative to a parka for cold weather; larger parka sizes being forever unavailable. The material is extremely hardy and comes with a synthetic padded removable liner. The coat has 7 pockets, plus two rearward vertical slots to reach under-pockets but which also allow good ventilation. The hood is snug though does not extend as far as the one on my ex-RN distressed goretex coat. Neither does the length drop to cover your rump. The zips are smaller and a little fiddly for large hands, though may ease up with use. There is no velcro though, which is handy where woollen gloves are being worn. The sleeves were long enough, though not quite as protective as on the RN coat. Sizing proved contentious, as I am XXL tall UK sized and the 3x XL X long version of this coat was simply too snug. So beware. The coat was manufactured to a good standard by a Danish firm in LAOS, for the Dutch. Overall a good purchase.
