| 'EXCELLENT, IF A LITTLE SHORT!!!' | | Strengths:
Very waterproof
hard core reinforcements
Lightweight
Durable (mainly, see below)
The hood is a dream (best ever!) | | Weaknesses:
Cordura reinforcements dont extend up to the elbow (have worn thorugh the fabric on mine!)

Cracking jacket, best around for £50, superb for cycling and walking, tho not running as can be very hot. |

| 'An excellent Jacket' | | Strengths:
Very wind and waterproof, excellent hood, light, two large pockets, fleecy chin protector. | | Weaknesses:
Velcro cuffs may rip after a while but very easily repaired I had mine done for just £3 but no other weaknesses. | | Overall:
Excellent for just a £100 I love it really good quality I compared it with other coats, Berhaus and buffalo but this came out on top. |

| 'YOU PUT IT ON AND BREATHE EASILY' | | Strengths:
Robust. It can handle North Wales | | Weaknesses:
The velco cuffs are a bit flimsy and the fleece on the chinguard might be a bit painful in winter if it freezes. | | Overall:
This jacket feels purposeful! It challenges the elements to have a go (if they feel hard enough) and fights them off like a larger fuelled thug! Think medieval armour |

| 'BEST AROUND AT THIS PRICEPOINT' | | Strengths:
Tough, Cordura reinforcements are well placed and very solid.
Great hood, really does keep anything out of your face.
Good pockets, hip belt on and you can still get at your sweets.
Pretty breathable, in cool weather has absolutely no trouble coping, even when riding on sunny days it still keeps its work rate up.
Superb value, got mine for £50 at Cotswold, total bargain.
Looks good in Graphite, no trouble going around town in rubbish weather.
Great cut, not baggy but not too tight for extra layers underneath. | | Weaknesses:
Cuffs are annoying when trying to get bulky gloves inside them.
Hood seems less breathable due to loads of seams. | | Overall:
Quality jacket, will take the tough weather well. Short cut does mean that waterproof trousers are necessary in nasty weather. Have had no problems with it both in Dartmoor in October and Brecon over New Year; both times the weather was disgusting. Decent breathablity and packablity make it a good backpacking shell. This is a great multi activity jacket, does anything you want, whatever the weather. For £50 there is absolutely nothing to beat it!! |

| 'EXCELLANT JACKET @ £50' | | Strengths:
Pretty light weight, cordura on Shoulders and sleeves to improve durability. Chest pockets are easily accessible with pack on. Good wire hood. | | Weaknesses:
Lack of ventilation (as in none). Pit or pocket vents would have been nice | | Overall:
Good compromise between durability and low-weight. Absolute bargain as you can get them for £50 |

| 'SOLID YET LIGHT. BIT LIKE A MALTESER' | | Strengths:
Lots of technical features - storm flap, ripstop, cordura patches, reflection strips
Hood is pretty roomy and doesn't block my view, wired peak and a nice soft lining round the neck.
Wore it in the city on a hot day (it was raining a bit), no sweat...
Worn it in a downpour as well, dry as a bone. | | Weaknesses:
Not the longest jacket. Cuffs a little tight (can't be rolled back). None other than that! | | Overall:
Bargain at £50 |
