|  | | Posted: 05/03/05 | | '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!! |
