Love it

I have this jacket about 9 months. Really tough. Haven't tried it in all day rain yet, but handled everything I've thrown at it. Also very quick to dry. It has large long arms. This means it doesn't come off my wrist when I straighten my arm and I can comfortably wear a puffer jacket thick jumper under it.

Some minor gripes
-Pit vents could be longer
-Slim double zip on vents which can make them difficult to adjust while wearing
-you will need good waterproof pants to go with it as all water will run off jacket and soak your crotch.
Still a 5 star jacket for me.

Hi James,

yes there is nothing to be said against using the jacket for fishing, it offers a thorough weather protection.

Kind regards,

Marco

Perfect for everyday use and other activities

The only downside to this jacket in that the logo on the sleeve labelling the material peels off after a year of use

That’s the only downside.
It can compact super easy
And the pit zips are perfectly placed
The pockets are good enough size for everyday commute.
Ovr: 8-9/10
