Freest light weight jacket
"Like the colour, was drawn to it for riding my horse down the road to the river. Keeps me warm and visible! Could have gone for the size 8, usually a 10 and the jacket runs large! But it’ll still be fine"

Amazing Warm Jacket
"Got this jacket half price as it was last years stock (Green is the best colour anyway in my opinion), an amazing deal for $100. It is super warm, easy to pack down and the hood is great. I got a size 2XL and I'm usually a 16-18, easy to cinch at the waist and still able to fit layers underneath. Big thankyou to Lily from the Hobart store - she was super helpful and knowledgeable."
Women's Heli Hooded coat
"This is my 2nd coat as the 1st one has been well worn and washed many times but still has wear left. I only bought the 2nd one as it was on sale."
Really great
"Nice and lightweight but still warm. Love the color but also love the internal color. Bummer that it’s not reversable. Like the length - I went up a size so also plenty of room. Will get a lot of wear out of this"
Perfect warm layer
"This hooded jacket provides a great outer insulation layer, perfect for fall trekking."
