Fantastic jacket

Kept me dry during an extremely wet and windy few days in Llanberis, brilliant jacket!

Exactly as advertised

Really pleased with the jacket, ordered large as per the sizing and it was great, allows for a couple of base layers comfortably underneath.
Disappointed that given the price of the jacket that it did not come with a small stuff bag for storage. The Fenrir duvet jacket I bought last year came with a bag

Nearly perfect, would like hand pockets

I have the NeoShell version of this jacket, and I love it. It breathes really well and blocks wind, so it's great in cold high-intensity activity. The full face zip and hood are amazing, and the deep chest pockets are great. It also seems highly durable, sliding around on rocks, bushwhacking in frozen conditions, and no tears. In fact it still looks brand new.

My biggest wish is that it had hand pockets. I know it's more of a mountaineering and skiing jacket, where you use your hands a lot, but I use it for backpacking and also mountain photography, and it's a bummer to not have a place to shield my hands from the rain and wind. I obviously wear gloves but it's still not as good.

Additionally, I've really struggled to reapply DWR after the factory DWR wore out, and I've found it nearly impossible to get it back to that level. I don't know if it's something weird about the material. I've tried about a dozen times with all different techniques, and it still wets out pretty fast. But that's a minor complaint.

Thanks for the review. Please get in touch with us regarding the DWR, we can certainly help out with that. For those interested in hand pockets, keep an eye out for the new line coming Autumn this year. There may be a surprise or two...
