| 'PRETTY DAMNED GOOD' | | Strengths:
Lightweight, Breathable, you can stuff it anywhere as its compact when taken on a 'Just In Case It Rains' trip.
I have never got wet wearing mine and its now 5 years old, the trousers too have been abused and coated with Dreamlakes Catfish slime which never washes off, as a jacket and trousers set pretty hard to beat I'd say! | | Weaknesses:
Not too warm as an outer garment but windproof. | | Overall:
Good kit, as a winter weather Barbeller, one of the most important things I can say........The Flippin Spikey, Stickey, Prickly weed things which seem to grow everywhere on the Ouse.....DONT STICK TO THE MATERIAL!!!
RESULT in my book! |

| 'BUY SOMETHING ELSE.' | | Strengths:
Lightweight,comfy,ideal for cool days/evenings | | Weaknesses:
NOT 100% waterproof, | | Overall:
This is the second ESP/Drennan garment of clothing i`ve bought.But it shall be my last.It states this jacket is 100% waterproof but i can assure it is not.Only in a small shower my shoulders leaked.Making me feel cold and wet throughout the duration of my trip.My matching salopettes are also a big dissapointment.When i can afford it i`m going back to Sundridge clothing. |

| 'IT LEAKS' | | Strengths:
Stylish and warm | | Weaknesses:
It lets water in on the shoulders | | Overall:
An hour into a heavy downpour and you can feel your shoulders getting wet. Treated it with some proofing and it's better for the time being at least. |

| 'VERY LIGHT, STYLISH AND COMFY. I'VE NEVER GOT RAIN IN.' | | Strengths:
Light, comfy, good as part of a layer system. Not too long which is great for me as I'm only 5'3". Oh, and its breathable. | | Weaknesses:
No neoprene cuffs but i've never had problems. Flaps on side pockets don't seal and are not very long, again though i've never had water come in so it must work. | | Overall:
Good jacket (and i've had a few over the years).Does what its supposed to and neither weighs a lot or costs a lot. |
