Why D of E...
Why D of E would recommend this, I don't know, because it's not waterproof. Bought it to replace my older waterproof jackets which have lost their reliability, but this is no more waterproof than they are now. Water does not bead up on the surface of the coat and just seems to soak in instead. The only reason I gave it two stars it because I like the colour and design. Very disappointed otherwise. Had it for couple of months, and it's only just been tested properly by rain, otherwise I would have sent it back. Will have to try reproofing it myself, see if that makes any difference.
