I was fortunate enough to have this with me on our charity drive across a third of the world from London to Mongolia. The jacket is really comfortable as well as looking really smart. It’s a great border crossing jacket. The combination of zipped external pockets and 2 internal pockets made hiding our money and keeping our important documents safe an absolute cinch. I can vouch for its wind resistance and warmth from when we went to check out the border of Tajikistan and China at the Kulma Pass – 4,362m. Even though it was blowing and pretty chilly I felt comfortable in it. The border guards not so much, they weren’t having a bar of it and in no uncertain terms made it clear we couldn’t just be noseying around their border, regardless of how smart the Raptor jacket looks.
Back in NZ I’ve used it cycling and walking around in the hills and it’s been great. Breathable, warm and windproof. It’s also right at home in the office environment.
