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.
