This jacket is a beautiful design, a good length if you’re looking for a longer raincoat and will keep you bone dry! It is on the heavier side, so I wouldn’t be recommending it for longer hikes. It’s also a slightly different fit to most of our other raincoats, as it has more of a T shape and doesn’t have separate sleeve panels. Because of this, it has more of a sloping shape on the shoulders and less of a defined and boxy look. It fits slimmer on the hips as well so I would recommend a size up if you’re on the curvier side.

Fit tip:

Slimmer fit and rounded shoulders.

Old school styling and old school, kiwi made build quality paired with modern membrane technology. Overbuilt in the all the right places with double stitching, big button snaps and double storm flaps. Without a doubt, this is the sort of jacket you buy and keep for 20+ years.

Fit tip:

Oversized, meant for layers underneath
