BranditMen's Windbreaker Jacket

Needed a jacket to help with those wet and windy conditions and this does just that. Travelling to Scotland like I do this is perfect up there always warm and always dry. Cuffs can be adjusted waist can be adjusted. All read great product and well worth the money

I’m 6 foot 6 and weigh 15 stone. Size 12 shoes and 38inch waste 44inch chest. I normally wear XL Tshirts, jumpers and coats. I ordered XXL and wore tshirts all weekend. The length could be slightly longer to go over your bum a bit and the sleeves could be an inch longer.Now the good stuff.All weekend people asked me to carry their phone or keys in the kangaroo chest pouch which was brilliant. I should have carried sandwiches.The two hand pockets are big enough to carry a fat wallet and some keys.I was carrying torches and stuff for camping and they were big enough.The inside is lined and all you need is a tshirt in UK autumn climate. I got so warm I just wore the tshirts from time to time.In the evenings I was still warm due to the excellent heat retention characteristics of this smock / jumper or whatever it is.The hood wasn’t needed but was the deciding factor in buying this garment and am sure I will use it if I get caught in the rain.Overall I would have given this 5 stars had it been a tad longer in the arms. But I’m very happy with it and am sure will get a lot of use out of it.

Arrived on time and well packaged. This garment is well made and looks the part. Could be used as a shirt (a-la-Buffalo) except that the fleece lining does not extend down the arms, so the feeling of warmth and utter comfort is not as great as it could be and i would recommend a long sleeved t-shirt be used as a base layer. The other criticism is that, whilst a side zipper is fitted to ease pulling the smock over ones upper torso, it is a single (one way) zipper and could so easily have been double (two way) to help as an aid to ventilation - adding a matching similar (ventilation) zipper on the other side would add greater value still. No doubt, these mods would add to cost, but that would be worth paying a little extra for what is an otherwise brilliant, light weight, wind proof, packable (relatively low bulk!) outer smock that is relatively inexpensive and has a wide selection of colours to choose from.I have not yet had a chance to evaluate it in medium/ heavy rain to experience how rain repellent it actually is and weather it would still be warm when damp or wet (like the much more expensive Buffalo).Great at this price point in my opinion. 7/10 and four stars - only because of the lack of attention to what was required to make this garment brilliant value.

This really is better than I ever expected. It fits like it should too. I wear large on top garments and this jacket was perfectly sized. A base layer, polo shirt plus an army jumper fit comfortably underneath and it makes for a well balanced layering system. Water beads and runs right off as good as my goretex jacket so the waterproofing is top notch too although after washing maybe not? I always reproof after cleaning so not a problem anyways. The side access zip for me was unneccesary as can fit on & off no issues with it done up. I bought this camo version for hiking, fishing & camping and it's plenty warm enough for that, too hot at times but thats the beauty of a layering system. I've since bought a similar blue version of the same make for winter sailing I'm that happy with it. Not the cheapest but you really do get what you pay for.

I wear it when out walking my dog. It keeps me lovely and warm and is windproof. Not really been tested in anything more than light drizzle, so can't comment on waterproofness.

I love this top so much so, I bought another one. I've washed and washed them and the material is as new.Keeps me really warm (feel the cold generally) the price is just amazing. I go for the colours that comes up the cheapest but even if I picked the colour at the highest price, I would be really pleased.As a guide, I have a 36 inch chest and the medium is ample, can comfortably wear a fleece underneath.The term 'you pay for what you get' really doesn't go with this. Low price but very well made.

Overall very pleased with item. Size slightly larger than expected but still means can add an extra jumper if worn in very cold conditions. Quality very good although camp not too greatly defined may improve when given first wash. Love the coat great service very pleased.

Very comfortable and warm top. Good value for money and good quality manufacturing. This is my second one. Would definitely recommend.
