“grade one used jacket, so minor liveable flauts like some of the synching tabs, not fully working but easily changed for me, very good quality jacket found mine fully waterproof, fit was ok, sleeves a little short but I have arms like a bloody monkey! tough and hard wearing material, great fit other wise draw strings to adjust, hood is very protective, big pockets. using this jacket for walking/ hiking/wild camping/ canoeing and works really well. If this jacket had a brand logo on it it would cost an arm and a leg, monkey length or not, great value for money, if you in doubt, double check your measurements and get one.”

“Looked a bit old and I thought I would have to reproof it but got it out in the rain and realised seller had already done so. Also all velcro and zips have been replaced with new very well done and minor repairs sewn and taped behind very well. Highly recommended!”

“After washing and reproofing with a DWR spray shows good performance. Very adjustable to fit different layerings. Not cammo so doesn't look too military. Overall very good for the price The guys were communicative, helpful & cooperative to finding me the spec/size I was looking for - well done.”

“Happy with my jacket overall I need a strong but light waterproof coat so I can work when the weather turns bad and this fits the bill perfectly The jacket arrived on time Condition was OK although front Velcro was well used meaning it kept popping open solved by putting a button in the hem but not ideal Zips all work and seems to be waterproof Sizing good with plenty of adjustability Overall as I'd expect from a surplus product at a good price”

“My jacket shows signs of heavy use, was a bit dirty, but after washing and reproofing with a DWR spray shows great performance. Used on a hike in Austrian Tirol, it was raining, snowing, was windy, however the jacket proved to provide good wind protection, it is as nicely waterproofed and gore-tex works great as well. The jacket is also greatly adjustable to fit different body types. I myself am slim, but the jacket fits perfectly after puling the waist adjusters a bit. The jacket also doesn't look that military. Overall a great jacket, it's roomy, it's gore-tex, it's affordable. Would be happy to get a non-used one one day.”

“A goretex jacket at a sensible price. Second hand quality quite acceptable. Room beneath the goretex for other jacket or fleece.. Good pockets.trouble free zipper, velcro closures on cuff. Hood is adjustable. Recommended.”
