Just took delivery, was very pleased with the condition. It’s a generous fit around the chest, but that is OK. Really like the high pockets on the chest for wearing with a pack, they will easily hold a map etc. Hood is great, being both generous and folding back into the collar. Frankly, this is almost a perfect bushwalking/hiking jacket - if only it was a couple of inches longer to keep the water off the hems of my shorts (that is a very mild criticism). I have no idea why you would buy new for half a grand or more.

I am 104/186 cm and ordered the 104/190 cm size. The jacket fits very well and comfortably accommodates a thick swandri underneath. Arm length is spot on, and the jacket length sits at the top of the thigh.

The hood is generously sized—large enough to wear a baseball cap underneath, which helps keep the hood out of the eyes and fully covers the peak. It also features a wide, effective storm flap.

In my estimation the condition is essentially brand new, or at the very least it has never been worn outside—no signs of use and no name written inside.

I tested it on an uphill walk in the rain and it performed exceptionally well: no overheating and water beaded perfectly.

Overall, an outstanding purchase and excellent value when compared to high‑performance jackets found in retail stores.
