Overall it has to be said that these jackets are great value for gore-tex/moisture vapour permeable (MVP) but beware of sizing. I am 5ft 10in and thin. I chose a small/regular height (180/96) thinking that although I am thin I did not want a short jacket but the 180/96 is both very long and very wide. I think it would fit a very tall and broad man and to be honest looks ridiculous on me. Another niggle is that the jacket I received had the name of the original owner written with indelible ink in large letters on both of the arm reflectors (NICHOLLS in this instance) which is nigh on impossible to remove without damaging the reflective material and basically means that I would have to remove the reflective material completely

Hi Donal, and I am sorry to hear of your disappointment. We should not have issued the coat if the reflective stripes are so ruined, and so please return the coat and we will refund your return postage. I have a replacement here if you want it. If not, we will refund the initial payments too. We do clearly state that the jackets are intended for wearing over multiple under layers by someone with the chest size shown.
