Austrian Army Mountain Goretex Jacket

[para106]

Just recd one of these &, out the packet, I'm very impressed with the quality. Got it off the 'bay for £43.00 including next day P&P. Mine appears to have had little if any wear & zero damage.

There's 2 huge zipped chest pockets with storm flaps & 2 side pockets with velcroed storm flaps. Good quality 2 way zip with a rolled zip protector plus full length velcro storm flap. The hood is huge but there's quite a bit of adjustment available & it rolls up & press studs in to form a collar.


I know some don't get on with Goretex but I do & for the price this is a great piece of kit - providing it performs in the wet of course!! I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

I got the 38-40 chest in a regular length & I'd say it comes as a 42" - probably get my Austrian Army Mountain Troop jumper on underneath if it was ever required to do so. I'm about 5'6" & the length is just below my perfectly sculpted buttocks!!

Just thought I'd share......that's the review & not the buttocks...

Cheers

I have owned two sets for a couple of years, use them for my gardening job, I think they are excellent, they are one of the few goretex suits that I don't overheat in. I have never had them leak on me either. I like the trousers as well as they are cut high at the back and have braces attached and they are very good at stopping draughts.
