I love this jacket - the fit and finish are first class. I was a little concerned about the “showerproof” label, as our weather where I live (4000 ft in Northern California) is either rain or snow in the fall/winter/spring. I would love an insulated eVent field jacket - but that option is as yet not available - so this was the next best choice. (When I’m rich and famous I’ll try the ventile thermal field jacket!) To my surprise, the first outing in 30 minutes of steady light rain was no problem. My second outing was in a much harder rain for about 20 minutes. Still good! Light snow showers were no problem. I just started to feel a little damp after a pretty long walk in rainy snow slush - but I expected that after the light rain honestly - so all good!
My next concern was size - as I have found that UK sizing is a little different than that in the US. I used their size helper and went with what I usually order - which in this case was a large - and it fits perfectly (6’0” - 180 lbs). Love all of the pockets, and the connected hood is actually what I wanted, as zipping up the jacket closes the hood. No fiddling with snaps and such to get the hood closed! The feel of this jacket is quality/cozy/comfortable - a definite keeper.
As I would expect from the many jackets I've purchased from Frahm such good quality, great fit and attention to detail. Love the fact that it has an insulated lining that provides comfort in early and late spring and I hope early and late autumn. My only minor quibble is the length is a little short for me, yet the rest of the fit is fine. Just a question of style I guess. Otherwise great. With the present, unexpected drop in temperature at the moment still wearing my incredibly versatile rip stop puffer jacket
Superb fit and finish, great attention to detail, and lovely lined pockets without bitey zips. The insulation adds versatility without looking bulky, probably the ultimate going to the pub jacket?
My only criticism is it should have launched in American Tan as now I've had to order another one to add to my Frahm collection.....!
My second Frahm and again the quality is unmatched. Feels so luxurious, fits so well and makes you feel a million dollars….didn’t want to take it off. First wear and was getting compliments.
Frahm number 4 for me and this is my favourite - it’s the nicest and warmest jacket I have ever owned - it fits great, the lining is great, the material feels great, and it looks really smart. The magicians at Frahm have done it again!
This might be my favourite Frahm jacket I've bought, I absolutely love it. it is so comfy and warm. The quality is top level as per usual, and the fit is fantastic
I have never been disappointed by a purchase yet and this is my 7th Frahm purchase.
