I purchased this jacket a few weeks ago but up until the last 2 weeks the weather stayed fair so I was unable to test it's waterproof ness. As I've now been out in a couple of heavy downpours I feel qualified to give it a review. Pictures of the jacket below.
At £249 it is not a cheap jacket but when it arrived and I removed the packaging I was very impressed, the jacket exudes quality with superb attention to detail. Very well stitched together with no dodgy stitching or hanging threads, no imperfections I can see. It's also very light, for some reason I was expecting it to be heavier (I don't know why, I just did).
As far as fit goes, it's a more tailored style than I am used to but fits really well, I ordered a large and I'm a 42 chest 34 waist and there is enough room to wear a base layer and polo shirt underneath with a bit left over to also add a thin jumper as it gets colder. Although its a slim fit, because this model has strategically placed stretch Gore-tex panels it never feels restrictive when swinging a club. In fact because there isn't lots of excess material flapping around to get in the way of my swing I think it's a benefit. There are Velcro chest straps that enable you to pull the jacket in around the chest if you prefer an even snugger fit.
An added benefit is that it's also the quietest waterproof jacket I've ever owned.
But most importantly it works as it says on the tin, lets absolutely no water in anywhere, despite being out in what I can only describe as a monsoon and that includes the pockets. The rain channels incorporated in the end of the cuffs are a simple idea that works well to keep water off your hands. There are 2 external pockets, one on the chest and one on the back right hand side and 2 internal zipped chest pockets.
In conclusion I would say it's one of the best quality golf items I have ever purchased and I'm sure it will give me many years of service so for me it's value for money.
