I bought the jacket some time ago this year. And just a few days before Christmas, I had the opportunity to test it due to the weather conditions. The material is solid, seams are taped, the zipper is covered, and the pockets are deep and convenient. It performs excellently in rain and accompanying gusty wind. Of course, it is recommended to wear a warm inner clothing layer – it was tested at the seaside. The material may seem a bit stiff, but you can get used to it. Overall, the jacket is worth recommending, it does its job.
Rain jacket featuring a three-layer AB-TEX Tri-Max membrane delivering water resistance rated at 5000 mm/m2. The outer surface is treated with a teflon DWR coating to effectively repel water and guard against lasting stains. All seams are taped to provide extra protection from moisture intrusion. Offering reliable defense from wind and rain, the jacket also ensures excellent thermal insulation.
A full-length two-way zipper, shielded by a windproof flap secured with snaps, allows for easy closure. The jacket includes two hip pockets with snap closures, further safeguarded by protective flaps.
A high collar shields the neck and chin in rainy and windy conditions. A stowable hood can be folded into the collar when not in use. Adjustable velcro cuffs, a drawcord hem, and an extended back provide added defense against the entry of cold air. Enhanced ventilation is provided by mesh-lined underarm vents and a rear ventilation panel.

I had the opportunity to use this jacket during heavy rain and I stayed completely dry – the waterproofing is flawless. The British-style camo looks classic and fits perfectly in Central European forests. The underarm ventilation zippers are a big advantage. In summary, this is a solid rain jacket for tactical use, and its price is not as high as with outdoor brands.

I am positively surprised that the product performed well during the first rain tests and in cooler conditions. The material is of high quality and is solidly sewn. For this model, I recommend a quilted lining or wearing a sweater underneath to prevent moisture from forming inside. The waterproofness makes it harder to dissipate heat and moisture, which promotes condensation. It is worth using the ventilation openings under the arms and partially unzipping the jacket. I believe the product is worth its price and I sincerely recommend it.

I bought several products here and I am satisfied with them – they are solidly made and of good quality. However, you have to remember that this is not the highest possible standard. Compared to other stores or platforms, the offered products match the descriptions and photos, including technical specifications and article information. I think it's worth shopping at this place.
