Key Features Explained
The grown-on hood has face toggles and a cinch, while the cuffs have Velcro tabs and the hem has a drawcord. These adjustment points let you alter how the hood, cuffs and hem sit. The chin guard is intended to help prevent snagging. Both hand pockets close with zips.
The elastane content contributes to the stated stretch. The DWR finish is described as helping with light rain and splashes, but the listing gives no waterproof rating or protection level for heavier or prolonged rain.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Fit and layering: Check that UK size 18 in the regular fit suits your measurements and intended layers.
- Weather protection: Consider whether protection described for light rain and splashes meets your needs; no waterproof rating is specified.
- Variant: Confirm that black and UK size 18 are the intended colour and size.
Who This Product May Suit
Its stated walking and climbing use, adjustable hood and stretch fabric may suit someone looking for a softshell layer for those activities. The microfleece lining adds an inner layer, while the DWR finish is described for light rain and splashes rather than as a waterproof rating.
Before You Decide
Check the UK size 18 regular fit, confirm that black is the intended colour, and consider whether the stated light-rain protection is sufficient for the conditions you expect.
