Brought this jacket in April so have had a couple of months to test it out. I am small and went for a medium for the more relaxed fit, and to put a layer under in the colder months, which was a wise decision, as just wearing the jacket I stayed dry but felt clammy, definitely requires an underlayer jacket/fleece. The sleeves are very long, my hands are always inside the sleeves and never get cold, I did find the bottom of the sleeve below the Velcro adjusters become soaked and not waterproof. The hood is large to fit a helmet, in general use it does flop around on my head, even when adjusted, and the water can run and pool around the chin area. Love the soft chin guard. The outside pockets are not waterproof, so do not put a phone in there unless in a waterproof bag, I found about 1cm of water in the bottom of the pockets. The inside chest pocket is too small for a modern phone. Overall I do like the jacket, it has kept me mostly dry, just slightly disappointed on some of the features. I thought it would be better considering the price paid.

This jacket is great, really waterproof and is a really nice fit in the body. The only slight negative is that the arms are really long.

Really enjoy wearing the jacket and the style really makes walking in the hills a comfortable experience. The issue, however is pockets that allow water to enter and form puddles. I can’t use them in the rain

Bought from another supplier.

The pros
Love the colour - just what I’ve been looking for.

Good price.

High-set front pockets for easy access plus internal pocket.

Cons
Helmet-compatible hood means that it is enormous.

Tightening mechanism for hood-cord is set quite high on the side of the head meaning that plentiful folded fabric (remember hood is big) bunches up creating a deep channel for rainwater.

I had to tighten hood cords fully to try to get a close-fitting hood - still not perfect. The result was super-long lengths of cord hanging at the front which would whip around in windy weather.

I had to need size up from xs to s - I usually wear 8 - as the underarms felt tight with winter layers.

I’m returning the jacket.

It is a super waterproof jacket that also offers great wind protection. It can be used in harsh conditions when used in combination with a warm underlayer jacket. This is my second Orkan jacket that I bought.
