Great quality jacket. But why are the arms SO long. I’m a normal 5’8” large and the end of the sleeves are an inch longer than my fingers!!
I like the jacket so much I will try to get the arms shortened with over 4 inches needing to be lost somehow.

Jacket overall seems good quality but the cut is rather strange and the sizing from the website is off. I ordered a medium based on my 38 inch chest and 32 waist and it has come up very large. The arms in particular are very long indeed and the hand pockets sit quite high. I should have ordered a small as it turned out but as I had to use it for an event the day after it arrived I removed the tags so I don't think I can return it now?

Fits well and a good length but not tested in wet weather yet.

Had this jacket for about 9 months now. Recently took it to climb bishorn in 1 push. Before that i washed it with nikwax techwash and sprayed a layer of tx.direct on it so it reppels water again. There was 6 hours of rain in the morning and the outside got saturated within 2 hours. On small batches of water its fine but if there is more water in a area the water no longer beads. Otherwise the construction is good enough but the neck guard could be slightly tallet as even with a fully singed hood you still feel exposed. The waterproofing is a big minus on this jacket was slightly hypothermic because it wetted out so easly.

Bought the jackett abot 4 weeks ago as waterproof hardshell.
Used it directly out of the box for a one week hiking tour.
Had two days with rain, not heavy but over four hours. On both days I was wet to skin
The promise of 20000mm waterproofing feels lile a bad markting story, I am totally disappointed

It’s a well made coat, having worn it a few times it definitely met expectations and has offered a good technical coat to go hiking in. The added ventilation it great in wet warm weather.

Jacket felt good quality and kept me dry in a bit of drizzle. Looking forward to testing it out in heavy prolonged rain. Neat fit, even with just a thin baselayer on.

Fantastic bit of kit that is a must have. Great price and fantastic colour scheme.

Mens Orkan II Waterproof Shell Jacket (Storm/Lime)

Pleased to find an eVent lined jacket. Far superior to Gortex in my experience. Always purchased rab, so was used to eVent lining which keeps the body from getting to wet until they changed to Gortex (probably because it’s more well known). Another consideration is my last event lined Rab lasted about 12 years (without re-proofing for years) whilst Gortex lasted one year and is useless after 4. Let’s see how long this one lasts…

Mens Orkan II Waterproof Shell Jacket (Teal/Orange)

Brilliant coat

Nice fit, good look

Reliably great kit with fab customer care

I purchased a Fjern waterproof shell jacket in anticipation of a Winter hiking trip to Scotland. Unsuprisingly, it rained. Scotland was wet; my torso was not. Excellent coat.

I've been a proud owner of several Fjern down jackets, and can't praise them enough - but unfortunatley my experience of owning the Orkan 'waterproof' jacket is completely different.

I'm 6'2, and while the arm length is great, the body is rather short... but that is only the start of it. It lost ots waterproofness within a couple of months (despite following all guidance), and the stitching in both pockets came loose very quickly - i was extremely fortunate not to have lost my car keys before i first noticed them.

I will gladly buy many more Fjern down jackets - but will never, ever consider their waterproof jackets again.

J’ai acheté cette veste afin d’être imperméable. Résultat j’ai fais une randonnée et au bout de deux heures de pluie j’étais entièrement trempé, l’humidité est rentré à l’intérieur. La veste a été utilisé seulement 4 fois car je l’ai commandé récemment et je suis extrêmement déçu. Je demande à avoir au moins un remboursement afin de pouvoir racheter une veste imperméable car c’est un sacré investissement pour moi qui est étudiant..

Quality Waterproof jackets always feel they come at very expensive prices but this is quality at a reasonable price.

In Sale one of highest -quality and -tech shell jacket you can get. Bit pricy if not in sale. But overall super satisfied

Perfect for Yorkshire 3 peaks

Straight out of the packaging I could tell this was a well made jacket. Good fit, nice long arms for keeping your hands out of the wind.
Seen several reviews of people saying it didn't stay waterproof, this is operator error. As an outdoor professional I constantly hear people say their waterproofs never work, when asked if they wash and reproof them regularly, the answer is always "no" or "maybe once a year". Waterproofs need attentive care otherwise they won't work.
