So it’s the same old Frahm jacket. Same high quality technical fabric, same fit for purpose functionality with super soft lining and plenty of pockets plus pockets for hands along with the same sharp lines eye catching design.
Will they ever do mediocre or even just pretty good? I doubt it!
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)
Not disappointed, spectacular jacket, heavier/warmer than I expected. Really lovely lining. Quality is superb. Can't wait for the weather to get colder !!!!
The fit, fittings and quality are what I have come to expect from Frahm. No rain since it arrived but I am sure it will be great when it does.
FRAHM Jacket number FIVE and straight out of the packaging you can tell it’s a high quality piece of kit...Fits like a glove…and puts a smile on your face... beautiful features like the tough zips, magnetic closures and a hood that stays in place with superb visibility. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. Any issues? Only that it has not rained in weeks so just sits on the hook…looking great... patiently waiting for summer to end.
Another top class jacket. Perfect weight with a lovely cut and all the great features of a Frahm. A bit more summer and then I’ll be happy to try it out in a little rain. Love it.
JUST A SUPERB JACKET! of the VERY highest quality
This is my second lightweight jacket and the feel and build seems even better than the one I bought in early 2021. Old one hasn’t failed me but I just wanted another jacket and the old one gets stuffed in sports bags to keep me dry when playing sport. This new jacket was road tested in Cornwall last week and did as described on the tin, kept me dry.
Lightweight waterproof shield jacket - just perfect - love it! The fit is great, it packs away so easily in my day pack and hardly weighs anything. Love the big pockets and magnetic cuffs and pockets closures.
Top quality lightweight waterproof jacket made to exacting standards. Frahm products are consistently excellent and delivered exactly as promised.
The only disappointing thing about this jacket is that another British heatwave has prevented me from testing it! It was expensive, but the fantastic quality and fit make it worth the cost and pre-order wait. Already looking towards my 5th purchase.
Just received my lightweight waterproof shield jacket from frahm and all I can say is wow!
From the magnetic cuff adjusters and pockets to the quality of the zips, everything on this jacket oozes quality!
It’s my second frahm and I have another preordered for next year….roll on 2026 😎👌🏻
Jacket arrived a day before we flew to the Lofoten Islands inside the Arctic Circle where it proceeded to rain for 7 days straight. Jacket performed beautifully in the conditions it was made for. Very happy with it
Ordered the wrong size and I completely cocked up the returns process but with the help of the very patient Leonnie at FRAHM it was sorted BUT.. … just as brilliant was the fact, the new jacket arrived one day after I had returned the original one! Oh yes, it’s a lovely jacket, fits well, looks great and so well made, by that like a parrot, it will need to be bequeathed in my will. Thanks!
The Lightweight Waterproof Shield Jacket recently delivered from Frahm is one of, if not the, most handsome jacket they have come up with to date. The material (eVent), has a luxurious silky outer feel, and is extremely light weight. Despite that, it is rugged (within limits of course), and highly waterproof (against only a gentle Irish lashing so far). The zips are waterproof, and the magnetic closures on pockets and wrists (previously used on the Waterproof Utility Field Jacket) are much more effective that you might imagine. The overall design is great, and important in a waterproof, the hood provides good coverage. It’s early days, but so far - definitely a keeper.
Pockets!, at last a lightweight shell jacket that allows you to carry the essentials. Excellent magnetic closures.
Can’t fault it!
Coat feels great for a waterproof and looks much better than the usual top material/brands in this space in terms of its cut/shaoe and drape. So many pockets too…
Love the fit and detail , peak on the hood for extra protection. Crazy but looking forward to getting out in the rain 😂
Honestly, there’s not enough superlatives for this one. I’m absolutely delighted to get one as they are no more and that is a real shame. The quality is outstanding, the pockets massive, the magnetic snaps? Seriously? So good. So far this jacket has been to a Liverpool match, the lakes twice for all day walks and is currently in jersey after I stuffed it into my hand luggage. Unwrapped on arrival and not a crease. Whatever it’s made of, it’s truly special. 6 * not 5. Doesn’t do it justice.
It looks great and well made as usual, the actual feel of the fabric is lovely.
I haven't had a chance though to test it in the wild yet.
