“This jacket is fab. Very big ( I ordered small and wonder if I was sent large by accident...). My husband loved it too so he’s got this one and I’m ordering a very small for me! Will be great for northern weather.”

“I got this jacket for long dog walks in the new forest together with the matching fleece and boots from here. Its waterproof built to last looks good and the price I paid for all 3 is less than I was originally going to pay for just walking boots until I found this site. I will buy again and have recommended to friends. Thanks for such good service!”

“Very happy with this product.Very well made and the cut is almost tailored.Good amount of deep pockets,but more importantly its highly waterproof.Spent 8 hours solid in howling weather and still completely dry.Liked it so much,the next day I ordered the trousers too.”

“The jacket is in very good condition considering it is used item .It still has the DWR coating . The quality of its manufacture is very apparent . I have not had a chance to wear it in conditions that will test it's performance yet . I have no doubts that it will be up to mark when I do .”

“I do some outdoor voluntary work in all weathers, I have found it very difficult to find a coat that keeps me warm and dry. I am either warm but become socked in my sweat, or wear a lighter jacket that lets the rain in. I have tried several that all say waterproof and breathable, and have all been lacking. However this jacket is the business.Heavy duty Gore-Tex, and great quality with plenty of pockets. The sizing just right to wear warm clothes underneath and ok to wear just a shirt. It keeps the rain out a treat and with the massive hood stops the wind from getting in too, it is truly a great find. would happily recommend to other volunteers”

“My son hasn't used it yet so can't comment on impermeability , however we are impressed with this jacket, the sizing guidance is accurate, meaning there is plenty of room for layering.There are two map pockets and it was in good condition.....Might get one for myself..”

“Firstly I would like to echo a common theme re the excellent customer service and particularly Yvette for her perseverance and updates. On the basis of other reviews I ordered this jacket along with the goretex overtrousers. I was a bit confused over the sizing (the second set and iii/ vi etc) and did e mail to check. Long story short got it wrong and ordered too small (it is just after Christmas). Had to pay to return but system straight forward. Unfortunately the sizes I was after were not readily available but I was assured the warehouse were checking through their stock. Nearly gave up hope but within a week low and behold received the update that the order was fulfilled. It was a Friday so came today but again their carriers, APC, are spot on with updates. Finally to the kit. A very happy chappy. Grade 1 if not unused, quality kit. Haven't worn it in inclement weather yet but the way the world seems to be going that won't take long and again sure I will not be disappointed. Many thanks. Ron”
