I've had my cornice for around a year now. It's kept me bone dry and warm in the lakes, Snowdonia, the Brecons and the wettest place on earth....Dartmoor!! I tend to run hot but have found it to be very breathable. The map pocket is big enough for an OS map but struggles to cope if you have a cover on it which is fair enough I guess. The pockets have never leaked and, due to the lenght of the jacket are accessible even when wearing a rucksack. The double storm flap keeps your front dry around the zip area even in driving rain. The hood is very adjustable around the face and for volume. The storm flaps can be irritating when not in use as they flap around your face a bit but are good when in use. The peak is wired which gives you some additional shelter but the hood doesn't move with your head as well as it might.
Not the lightest jacket but it packs down well in the rucksack. After a year there are absolutley no signs of wear and the quality of this product is obvious.
Highly recommended.
