What owners single out
In their words
“Light weight and resilient against rain and wind. It is slim fitting which I liked, but I did go the size above so I could wear thinker undergarments. It has a hood which packs away nicely and forms a collar but I preferred to have the hood out. I don't have any negatives, I've taken it out on some really heavy rainy/windy days and had no dramas. Overall very happy and would recommend.”

“The waterproof interior lining began to disintegrate after two years. Jacket no longer waterproof and every time you put it on you get covered in lining 'dandruff'. I have tried technical washes etc, but to no effect. Shame as its a nice jacket, just useless for its intended purpose.”
