Went into Cotswold as I had seen one of the Jack Wolfskin parkers I liked the look of for a new winter coat. After chatting with the staff I was recommend this coat instead, for our British winters are a bit wetter than a parker might be happy with. Had a weekend out at a wind swept and rainy nature reserve and the jacket performed brilliantly. Super flexible for all the bending I was doing. Stayed dry all weekend, as well as enough pockets for all the sweets, drinks and bat detectors for the kids.
