I purchased one of these jackets first time out I walked to my car and back in the rain water soaked through at ever point under arms, pockets, wherever there was a zip or a seam water got in, even the inner pocket to my mobile phone, took months to get a replacement, the new one sits in my wardrobe only taken out in dry weather.
Looks good, but at only 10,000mm in torrential rain, week in week out would it stand the test of time i wonder? If you take their brollies also 10,000mm they are not water pellent after 6 months use they absorb water, hence the material goes dark. Love the brolly but 10,000mm doesnt cut it imho for a jacket
There is a number of design faults in my view with this jacket, 1. the front bottom pockets are cut oversize which means if you do not push the edges in then then fasten water simply runs inside the pocket, 2. the 2 breast pockets the zips are not water proof, water simply runs into the zip you then get wet, 3. the under arm vents the zips are not waterproof water runs down under your arms you get wet again. I still have the original trakker 3 piece combo which are many years old are far better than the above.

@Robert VZ9 Yes, I still have the photos to prove

Your right, I bought one and it has the same property's as a sponge. Waste of money!

When are you going to market a thigh length coat?
when will this suit be released? do you know the price point? I'm definitely getting this :)
Don't bother it's like a sponge!
