A comfortable jacket with a long hem that covers the hips easily.
It has got a decent-sized hood – great if you’ve got long hair – with baffle adjustment at the sides and back. You can also roll it away in the collar if you want a smarter look. It’s made from Peter Storm’s Stormshield fabric, which is waterproof and breathes fairly well, with a polyester mesh lining inside to help wick away sweat. There are five pockets – two water-resistant, zipped chest pockets, a lower internal pocket that looks as though it should take an OS map (but doesn’t), and two deep fleece-lined handwarmer pockets that feel great on cold days. Velcro adjustable cuffs pull up easily when you get warm. The only real downside is that it’s heavy and bulky.
