'GREAT VALUE AND SURPRISINGLY GOOD'

Strengths:
warm and keeps out the wind and rain well. Pockets are deep and the velcro on the frint zip keeps out wind and rain very well

[Update 12/09/06] warm and keeps out the wind and rain well. Comfortable and looks OK.

Weaknesses:
Hood does not have a large enough velcro attachement to comfortable cover the lower face when the cold / wind / rain really kicks in

'CHEAP AND CHEERFUL'

Strengths:
The price is considerably lower than it competitors. Lightweight with few fastenings so is very comfortable to wear.

Weaknesses:
Not really up to offshore standard, more of a costal/inland waters set.

Overall:
Perfect for beginners and occasional sailors, but those who go more offen might want something a little more substantial.

'EXCELLENT IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER OR NEED A BACK UP JACKET'

Strengths:
Good for warmth and keeping out wet - easy to move around in. It looks convincingly stylish too.

Weaknesses:
No frills to keep the cost down - handwarmer pockets would make all the difference.

Overall:
A really good buy for a basic jacket. Hard wear might push you to reproofing it for each season though.
