“Excellent jacket in very good condition. Its very well designed and incredible value for the money. Its a good fit - I got large and my chest size is 44. Really quick and efficient service. I've already ordered more kit from them!”

“These are amazing coats. Absolutely cannot be faulted at the price. And grade 1 means there's years left in them. Not really sure why they're being marketed as fashionable jackets but it's all good. And being available in longer sizes is a winner for those that don't like a wet backside (who does?).”

“Good jacket. Unfortunately the seams of the inner lining of the left side pocket came apart on my first wearing. The seams appear to have been glued together but pulled apart very easily. Too much hassle to return so I will sew all pocket inner linings together so that they last and stay together. I will not be buying another of these jackets.”

“Just got back from the jacket's first real test of wet weather and it passed with almost all colours flying. There were a couple of small two-bob-bit (that's ten pence in new money) sized damp patches on the shoulder blades that will probably be solved with an application of waterproof spray. This Gortex jacket has been around since 1996 though, according to the label, so I've no complaints. Everywhere else was dry. My query regarding size was answered promptly so I went for the following: being a 42" chest, I bought the 'large' size. This allows me to wear a gilet and a fleece with comfort and warmth, even wearing only one of those it's comfortable as the jacket is light, flexible and wind proof. Mine is a 'regular' and measures 37" from top of the collar to the bottom of the back (the hem),so I would say the one shown in the pictures is a 'regular'. All zips work as do the press studs and draw cords which all have their sprung clip retainers. If this one works as well as a new expensive jacket, why would you ? Delivery was booked as late Friday but didn't arrive 'till Monday. It is the 'silly December season' after all! Overall, EXCELLENT value for money. On the 'Exellence' Rating' scale, it rates as 'FE' in my book. (work it out for yourself)!”
