Fantastic purchase
I bought this jacket a couple months ago and it has not disappointed! The cut is perfect and so comfortable, I particularly love the hood under which my bobble hat fits comfortably and the neck guard which prevents any wind draft getting in - I find I not longer need a scarf even in windy weather. The pockets are another great feature: very roomy, I can comfortably fit a takeaway coffee cup or my hat and gloves. The zip is very sturdy and easy to handle even with thick gloves. I have worn this jacket daily on the cold and very wet Devon coast, so far the waterproofing has not let me down despite long walks in heavy rain and a hail storm. The material is lovely and thick so very insulating: even by 2* temperatures I only need my thin down and a base layer to stay warm when out walking. I guess the down side is it gets a bit warm when walking up big hills as not the most breathable but no worse than with my other waterproof shells.
The only shame is that it doesn't come in a more cheerful colour... but the black is universal and classy!
