Apparel

By Tom Irwin

Dec 9, 2013

Our panel put the latest range of waterproofs to the test

Waterproof guarantee: 3 years
SRP: Jacket £299, trousers £119

Comments:

JT: I’m a huge fan. The jacket is extremely light and breathable and I also like the idea of being able to go to half-sleeve. The jacket fits well and the trousers fit perfectly. It’s also a very quiet suit.

DM: I like the fit and feel of the jacket, which has that sense of Scandinavian cool. The only negative would be the price.
