What to Compare Before Buying

- Fit and length: Check the size 10 sizing information and whether the longline cut suits your preferred fit. No garment measurements are provided.
- Pocket layout: Consider whether the two hand-warmer pockets, two buttoned front pockets and internal pocket meet your storage needs.
- Hood and waist details: Check that the snap-back peak and waist snap closure suit your preferences.
Who This Product May Suit
The Hopegill is intended for outdoor activities including walking, trekking and hiking, as well as commuting. Its longer cut, hood and multiple pockets are relevant details to consider for these uses. Suitability depends on fit and the conditions you expect to encounter.
What Is Included
The product is one jacket. No additional accessories or separate layers are specified.
Planning Layers for a Walk
Before heading out, consider the conditions and what you want to wear underneath the parka. Try it with those layers when assessing the fit, particularly around the waist and sleeves. You can also decide which small items to place in the buttoned or internal pocket, leaving the hand-warmer pockets available.
Before You Decide
Check that the size 10 fits as you want, and consider whether the longline shape and pocket arrangement suit your needs. Compare the stated 5000 mm hydrostatic head with the rainwear specification you are looking for.
