OK. First off, this jacket is extremely warm and comfortable to wear and allows good flexibility. It looks great and is packed full of features.
The problem is the build quality. The first jacket was returned after about 2 months of very light use as a lot of stitching started to come undone. The replacement jacket saw very light occasional use and then 1 week snowboarding. It was returned again after this week as again alot of stitching came undone. The inside lining had become unstitched and the insulation had fallen out. For a jacket designed for winter sports this is not acceptable. To be fair to Cotswold, the jacket was returned without any problems and a full refund was given. I have been told that this is not the only instance of poor quality in protest products, but the other reviewers do not appear to have had a problem yet.
