I had high expectations of this jacket and it hasnt disappointed. Great fit and weight, and a lovely feel to the fabric. Really like the magnetic closures, number of pockets and it survived some hefty summer downpours in the Alps, so very pleased with it so far.
My first Frahm… and won’t be the last.
I’ve been stalking the site for quite a while, and waiting for me to need a new jacket.
Wow. Superb fit and quality. Thoughtful functionality (pockets! hood vision! magnetic closures!) and… it’s actually waterproof, waited until a suitable deluge happened yesterday before reviewing 😜… this is by no means a given, in “waterproof” shells sadly. It’s not even expensive IMHO, other “high end” outdoor wear brands will charge a lot more for less.
It is early days and have only had the jacket for a day but after weeks with no rain it did rain this morning and don’t has been worn. Very lightweight and comfortable. Not as restrictive as other jackets and looking forward to testing it when the rain hits us in the autumn!
This was a 25th birthday present for my youngest son. Now, my lot usually take the pi$$ out of me for my brighter choices — my own FRAHM Four Seasons in yellow and blue has me looking, apparently, like I’m either heading out with the fishermen or waiting for the next RNLI shout.
That said, these jackets are every bit as capable as the ones used in either of those situations. I’ve tested mine properly — wore it on a fast RIB excursion to Ramsey Island, where sea spray was flying everywhere… except inside my FRAHM. Bone dry, warm, and smugly comfortable.
Back to the Olive Green Shield: my lad is almost 6ft 2", and the Large fits him perfectly. He hasn’t needed it yet (we’ve had a rare run of good weather here in Pembrokeshire), but come autumn, I’m sure he’ll be chuffed to bits.
• Fit: Spot on — practical cut, not restrictive.
• Features: Loads of pockets, and now with two zipped chest pockets so he can stash his phone whichever side he fancies.
• Performance (expected): FRAHM’s reputation for breathability & waterproofing means he’s set up for whatever the Welsh weather throws at him.
A fantastic jacket, smart enough for day-to-day, and rugged enough to trust in the worst of conditions. I can see this being as well-loved as my own “fisherman’s gear”.
I have an earlier version of the Woodland Worker but how could I not go for the Dazzle Camo version?!?! Even better made and a little bit more room. This version has drawn LOTS of positive comments in a very short time, perhaps as it stands out. Love it (just as I love all my Frahms)
