Phanner Ventura jacket.

But your from Leeds - that's as posh as it gets in Yorkshire - people have to loose a full 5p before sweating & blind panic starts

 

Is that not normal then???

Rest of us flip out over a tuppence !!

Perhaps. Doesn't help justify the cost though.

 

 

Joe this is the typical forecast for us along the top of the Pennine way.

it's done alright ...it's still waterproof just when new it would stand lashing hard rain all day long, now it's will do about half a day before it starts to come through ... But it's still better than a lot of others I've used and functional.

But did you stay dry?

 

Well after 8 months I sent back my Pfanner Ventura rain jacket, even though I'd only worn it about 10 times.

It is not even shower proof and I am am totally convinced that it was never waterproof, even from day one.

I just assumed that it was a bit of sweat on the inside but did notice that the rain didn't 'bead' and run off.

I sent it back to Treekit who have responded honourably and professionally. However, Pfanner took ages to inspect it and send it back with the conclusion that I have owned it for too long!

 

I have emailed Pfanner directly to gain further info and plead my case but they have not replied.

 

I promised myself I wouldn't post anything on here but want to know if anyone else has found the most expensive Arb climbers jacket to be totally useless?

Hope you get some where with pfanner.

I gave up on mine been water proof and just wear it as a work smock , brought the cut and climb which is good and works , my old mans just brought the sips jacket and for the price it looks a winner, I wore it as we had swapped trucks and there was a hard down pour all afternoon so had to try it out ... stayed bone dry!
