Reviews

Great Value - Really Warm

"I have a sleeved version of this jacket and love it however there were times I needed something that was warm but not quite so warm as the jacket and this is it. Working in the warehouse it keep the body toasty and doesn't over heat the arms. If you don't have one of these in your kit you better get one!"

Philip K. (5/5)

Very Happy

"Tried a black one in store to get correct size. I'm very happy with the Bark colour and the fitting. Delivery time was excellent. Only two days from placing the online order."

Magda K. (5/5)

Great winter vest

"Needed this for the early starts when golfing. Kept the swing free and body surprisingly warm even at 3-4 degrees. Good quality"

Bhavik K. (5/5)

Very good

"So warm dont love how puffy they look seems to be the trend this year but cant say no to the extra warmth that puffiness adds . Glad I got the M as it sits almost like a L with the thickness to it but still looks smart and very comfortable ."

Shane S. (5/5)

Best Vest

"My 3rd vest , because they are great for Working in & when you are in & out of the car ,shopping centres, & warehouses all day. Keeps you warm but still comfortable in varied temps & not as bulky if your moving stock around or stopping to have a coffee . Only reason for my 3rd one … variety in colours"

Antoinette A. (5/5)

Picture is misleading

"I ordered it because it looks red in the picture, after driving 30mins to pick it up, what I was handed was more orange the red. Waist of time and petrol."
