Excellent Entry-Level Jacket
01 October 2024 by Dale B
Great value for money. Fits true to the size guide. Great insulation & waterproof properties. Kept me dry in light rain. Started to let a little water in on the arms in heavy, and persistent rain. A decent buy if you're on a budget.

Very affordable

Very good jacket. Rivaling jackets with significantly higher price. Armour not the hardest type. If I use it over leather suit (with guard) at the chilly weather does not matter. I take them out of the jacket.
