    I hate when companies plaster their name on their products. A nice small embroidered name plate on the front top pocket woulda been great instead of their name plastered across the back.

    Mine seems nice and waterproof so far, just in case I always have some NikWax waterproofer on had for treatment which I don’t mind. I’d never expect anything to be totally waterproof just forever, I’ve never seen anything that was except an old school rubber coat, but those are horrible….but yea it’s a really nice jacket I think.

  • @robertprokopowicz8099
    @robertprokopowicz8099 Місяць тому +1

    I really wanted this jacket to be a great rain jacket. Far from it. The outside soaks up water like a sponge. Then it wicks up into the lining. After a time in the rain, the jacket ends up weighting an extra half pound. Takes a long time to dry out. The jacket is warm,and has a lot of pockets. Its not totally bad,just not a good rain jacket.

    • @RedBranchBushcraft

    I was completely put off by their pathetic adverts, trying to make out the jacket is for real men. 'Don't be like Mary Poppins' they say, 'throw away that umbrella'. Okay, I'll keep my umbrella and be like Steed from The Avengers. Their adverts were written by a moron.
