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.

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.
Thanks for the great review and awesome pics, Alenka! Glad the Orkan is keeping you dry out there.

Veste achetée il y a un an qui m'a satisfaite par ces modes de réglages et son imperméabilité qui n'a pas durée. En effet, celà fait 1an que je la porte, j'ai suivie les conseils d'entretien mais lorsqu'il pleut, je me retrouve entièrement mouillé en dessous. Je trouve ça décevant après 1an et 450eu...j'aurais pensé que la veste aurait tenue dans le temps mais à croire que non...
Je suis très déçue.
Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention.
We're sorry to hear that the waterproofness of your Orkan has diminished. While our jackets are designed with eVent® fabric and Direct Venting™ technology for lasting waterproofness, over time and with regular use, the DWR coating can wear off. This is a common occurrence with waterproof garments and can be remedied with proper maintenance.
To restore the jacket's waterproofing, we recommend cleaning it according to the care instructions and then reapplying a DWR treatment. This process helps to revive the fabric's ability to repel water, ensuring that the jacket continues to perform as expected. If you need guidance on this process, our customer service team would be more than happy to assist.
If following these maintenance steps doesn't restore your jacket's waterproofing, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. We're here to assist and will investigate the matter further.
Kind regards,

Just got one of these and wore it out in a big downpour. Obviously it's waterproof but the longer sleeves and really effective large hood make such a difference to actually staying dry and this jacket does a great job. I'm normally a 10/12. Bought this in a 12 to allow room for layers and it's just right. It feels robust for a mid weight waterproof and I like the finish/colours. I bought this primarily for walking but can see it would work as a ski jacket. Very happy!
Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Rebecca! We're happy to hear that the Orkan is serving it's intended purpose of keeping you completely dry. Your insights about the longer sleeves, effective hood, and sizing are greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
The Fjern Team
