Thanks Jon.

I, also, was thinking of flagging this up as I've been awaiting your (brief, but informative) review since the 'teaser' on Thursday.

Thanks, also, Damian, for your post. Did it wake Jon up? I nearly added a comment by saying something about being kept 'in suspenders', but thought better of it.

Just bought this jacket in Blue but i found some good and bad points about it.

PRO's

Nice warm material thermal-pro (out of wind), deep pockets, nice relaxed cut and design.

Con's

Pockets are not fleece lined (mesh), Not windproof! in any way or form (hate how they say "its the big brother of the shadow hoodie)." Outside material is not tough at all, a cheep uniqlo fleece is tougher. I found the outside layer piling within the 2 days of using it(used as a middle layer).

In a nutshell this jacket is not worth the price tag.
you may be better off buying the "shadow hoodie" for wind resistance or going for the "Haglofs Isogon" for warmth. I also liked the "Sherpa Khampa-Tech Jacket"
Your say
