NCG waterproof test: Benross X Tex

Apparel

By Tom Irwin

Dec 9, 2013

Our panel put the latest range of waterproofs to the test

Waterproof guarantee: Two years
SRP: Jacket £99.99, trousers £69.99

Comments:

PC: I quite liked the jacket, which was a pretty good fit for me. The trousers were bulky, more akin to old-style waterproofs.

JW: I thought the jacket was a very small fit across the chest. Over the ball, I found the brighter zips stood out and were a little distracting. But you certainly get a lot of suit for the money.
