Cut and climb jacket opinions

[MattyF]

Met plenty with trapped nerves ,kidney damage and plenty of other ailments in this industry due from freezing damp and cold . See plenty of people spend more on there going shoes .. I'd rather spend on function and looking after myself which is 8 hours a day 5-6 days a week than an evening out.

Being wet isn't really a problem.

Being wet and cold is.

The 'I work so hard I just wear a t-shirt' heroes don't appear very regularly in the sleet in Northumberland.

Well Clarke arb have been in touch with me today and asked me to send the jacket back and they will sort it out and the lady was very confident in the jacket and has promised she will sort it can't say fairer than that will see how it maps out

I had one replaced 3 years ago and on my second that was provide by Yve.

 

Excellent customer service from Clarks as well as a hard wearing waterproof jacket IME.

I just find waterproofs a waste of money you are gonna get wet either way from sweat or rain I find keeping a dry top in the truck the best option

[Pinkfoot]

Sounds like a good company.

My cut n climb jacket must be 3 or 4 years old and is still waterproof. I sponge in down with warm soapy water on occasion.

I also have a hooded, thigh length Royal Navy heavy weather coat I wear if we have to be out in pelting rain all day,it has no pockets and is as waterproof as a mermaids chuff. My son in laws in the navy so it didn't cost me much

I got a cut and climb 2 years ago after reading good reports on here about them and in all honesty I have been disappointed in it with regards to keeping the wet out.

From day one it has always left me damp on the shoulders and sides and wearing today from lunchtime till 4.30 it had gone through the jacket a top and my shirt and base layers too.

Do forget that this is in the soft southern rain as well unlike you hardened northeners!!

In defence of the jacket it's robust and comfortable to me and I think it would take some ripping however I would be looking at alternatives when looking to replace it.

I used to keep pretty dry in my old husqvarna monsoon jacket.

This is my next jacket, not many make wet weather gear better than the kiwis

That does look fairly waterproof.
