(Sorry--accidentally submitted a review about the matching trousers rather than this jacket!!!) This jacket is just as great as the matching trousers--I went for an 11 mile walk in 3 hours up and down the hills of the Peak District last week deliberately to test out whether this jacket would create moisture on the inside. Nothing of the sort happened--a really great jacket! No significant dampness if at all on the back, none inside the sleeves, brilliant! Perhaps not as windproof as some jackets, but that's hard to tell because the colder weather is only just arriving again. Plus I wasn't wearing the neck-scarf that I wore last winter--so that probably explains that. Good, warm elasticated cuffs a couple of inches up from your wrists to give plenty of room for some ... More(Sorry--accidentally submitted a review about the matching trousers rather than this jacket!!!)

Plus I wasn't wearing the neck-scarf that I wore last winter--so that probably explains that. Good, warm elasticated cuffs a couple of inches up from your wrists to give plenty of room for some gloves/mittens to fit under the end of your sleeves, but also stop the wind blowing up your arms--a very important feature. The trousers and the jacket are all in all the best by far for price and quality that I've come across. Who needs the expensive brands!!!

I have a small holding and I am outside most of the time in all weathers. Since I bought the jacket it has been very wet. It has been waterproof. I am clearing ground of both brambles and gorse. I have been careful but I have had no problem from any damage from these plants or from the barbed wire which they are entangled with. I normally buy a medium size but due to the advice given on the web sight, I bought a small size which was the correct decision as it fits me well and I can wear a fleece underneath it when it gets cold. The hood also works well when it is raining hard. I strongly recommend the Castle Airflex Fortex which is serving me very well and is a very good quality garment and is excellent value.

A brilliant coat for the money. Totally waterproof and wind proof. We bought these looking for a rubberised coat to rival the excellent budget waterproofs we got for my 5 year old from a certain budget supermarket with German origin that sells random items alongside food! This is the closest you can get to an adult version. The cuffs on the arm are very sensible with an elasticated cuff for comfort that is overlaid by a waterproof cuff. The zip is completely overlaid by a storm flap so no water can get in there. Generous sizing. I’m usually a size 20 in high street coats and the large fits well with room for a jumper underneath. My husband is 6’4 with a 42 inch chest and the large is a good size for him too, long enough in the body and arms. Also got one for my ... MoreA brilliant coat for the money.

My husband is 6’4 with a 42 inch chest and the large is a good size for him too, long enough in the body and arms. Also got one for my teenage daughter (despite not being a fashion item, she could see the sense in being completely waterproof in moorland rain and snow so has a fashion coat for normal wear and this coat for the worst of the weather). She is a size 14 and the small gives her plenty of room. We all have the matching bib and braces waterproof trousers too and have chosen a size bigger for the trousers than the coats. There’s no padding in the coat so can be worn in warm wet weather, or with a jumper underneath in colder weather. They’re quick to dry and pack fairly small. Way preferable to cheap Mac in a pack type coats from hiking type shops which are less waterproof and less breathable.
