Product Reviews

Customers praised this waterproof fleece jacket for being "well made" with "excellent quality" and warmth. Many noted it's "comfortable" with useful pockets and tartan lining. However, sizing runs small with "athletic fit"; several shoppers needed to size up. The jacket is quite heavy and less breathable than standard fleece, better suited for cold weather.

Near perfect jacket

Near perfect jacket. Only drawback is that it is a little too heavy for me (at 88 years). It will be a godsend in the winter and its waterproof qualities are e bonus, '|Good looking and very fashonable. Buy one of your caps and you have the perfect combination. The tartan lining will make it stand out from similar jackets

Great, but..

The quality and design of the jacket is impressive. I would say the fit is 'athletic' or slightly on the small side! It is incredibly warm and quite heavy, ideal on a cold winter's day but as it's gets warmer you can soon get very hot. It is nowhere near as breathable as an ordinary fleece. It's more like a coat.

Lovely fleece

Really nice jacket, good quality fleece with loads of pockets. It's long in the body which is nice. When I first tried it on I thought it was too small because it feels tight across the shoulders, however, it seems to be the elastic/stretchy lining that gives it that feeling because the fit around the body and sleeve length are perfect and there is no restriction of movement. I'm 6'5" with a 46" chest and went for a XXL.

Had to return item, as it was tight around middle

Had to return item, as it was tight all round . So went up a size to XL item was better fit around shoulders still tight around middle though. Best way to describe size would be XL slim fit. Haven’t return item as XXL would be to big, so going to shred half a stone and hopefully all will be well. Apart from the sizing it’s well made, warm, and went out for a short walk in the rain and kept me dry. The return was excellent with no problems.

Fast delivery, quality product

Thick quality material, with useful zipped inside pocket just big enough to fit an OS map. Longer than usual length which is great for keeping out the cold. We sized up - my husband is a 38 inch chest and the L size fitted well.

Great jacket, but be wary of the size

I'm delighted with my Hawker, which is well made, warm and comfortable. However, a large was too small for me, so I changed it for an XL, despite not being a very big bloke (I've never had an XL before).
Speed of delivery and replacement was exceptional.

Value for money, fast delivery

I've been looking for a nice shooting fleece similar to the Barbour Dunmoor, and this fits the bill. I sized up after reading the reviews, and 3xl is perfect. Time will tell on the quality, but so far so good.
