Awesome Jacket

Really great jacket with top quality materials. Big upgrade on the first version and love the hood

Such a practical winter jacket

I’ve owned this jacket for a number of years. For transparency I own the older version without the hood. It’s great. Warm enough for the majority of the British winter and you can add a jumper or not for extra warmth. The fit is relaxed but not baggy and it’s so robust. Looks smart for wearing to the office but great for the pub. As an aside I’ve had a couple of issues with buttons but frahm support have fixed it without complaint promptly. Service like this sets Frahm aside from other companies. Great jacket, great company

Send It Back!

Or so I thought. I ordered this Ventile Jacket feeling doubtful that when it landed I could justify the price. But once I tried it on, felt the quality of that Ventile fabric, the zips, the studs, the magnetic closures used and I just could not return the jacket.
It's that very rare and fine thing when you find something where the quality stands out but it does not shout about it.
From a performance perspective, it's not going to be as waterproof as a 20,000mm rated jacket, but this is a natural fabric that is naturally waterproof and that has to be admired. I have found that on a brisk walk when I wear a synthetic jacket I find myself unzipping them to cool down where as with this Ventile jacked it stays zipped up as you do not overheat, it breaths.
If you are even considering buying this jacket and you are sat on the fence.... jump off and buy one.

The ultimate everyday outdoor coat

I love Ventile. None of the synthetic rubbish bag-like texture here. Not shiny. Always gets compliments.

worth the wait

I had been eyeballing this jacket for a couple of years waiting for the right moment to buy. Finally made my purchase and (as usual) I wasn't disappointed (I own 4 Frahm jackets). This is the perfect winter coat for me and the climes I typically experience and the fit and finish are great!
