I've been searching for a new jacket to replace and aging barbour, with lots of reading on here but no mention of this coat I found newforest clothing had the deerhunter jacket with almost £100 off. I was debating between this and a few others like ridgeline monsoon jacket.
anyway so Its arrived today in peat colour which is more dark green than brown but very nice the outer is like a velvet material and very quiet, the clincher for me was the material has some stretch to it and very comfortable.
warmth wise I'd liken it to my barbour middle of summer it'll be too much and winter will need a fleece underneath but for the rest of the time pretty much spot on.
Now I can't compare to a ridgeline since I've never owned one but in comparison to my paramo halcyon it's roughly the same fit not quite as warm but looks smart enough to wear around town where the paramo although brilliant reminds me of a 90s shellsuit.
I'll report back on how it breathes, waterproof etc once I've worn it in anger for a while but for now seems well made very comfortable with a massive hood
