SIP KEIU rain jacket

[bggc]

Has anyone bought one of these jackets, if so, do they keep you dry as they say they are fully waterproof? Around £80 from Honey Brothers, almost seems too good to be true for the money when Cut & Climb jackets are almost double the price.

Cut and climb are worth the money. I have not found a jacket that keeps you as dry. You pay £150 for boots or trousers so why not a jacket?

I have one of the new sip coast and it is performing very very well, good ventilation across the back and big pit zips, high collar and a hood that goes over your helmit. Good value for money

I also have one and will second what Craig has said, I really like it and it's been tested properly now, with all the terrible weather we've been having!!

Thanks for the replies lads, a couple of good endorsements there. Hopefully a few more might be posted, I'm always interested to see how these clothes perform after a few good soakings and layers of dust/chip over the coming months.

 

In reply to your post Hodge, fair enough, yes, why not pay the money for Cut & Climb, but why pay £150 when an £80 jacket MAY do the trick, hence my investigation.

Has anyone else tried one of these? Price of the cut and climb doesn't bother me but I prefer the look of the sip as it has a hood and vents.

I've had one for about 4 months and yes it's a great jacket, fully waterproof and doesn't feel like you're wearing a waterproof.

The hood is a nice handy feature easily fitting over ear defenders or helmet.

I would however recommend trying on for size rather than guessing on the web, I'm usually a medium but the sleeves are long so had to downsize to a small.

We'll worth the £80-90

Mine's a few months old and I really rate it, far better than the stein jackets in my opinion. The back is nice and long which is always good when it's hammering it down

[matt528]

Thanks for the feedback sounds like a good option

Interesting about the sizing. I'm bordering between small and medium so I'll hold off until I can try one on I think.
