Stein jacket

[Mark Bolam]

Working with Rich Rule today, very wet this afternoon.

 

Me - North Face Goretex - wet wet wet.

 

Rich - Stein climbing jacket - dry dry dry.

 

Great gee up for this piece of kit. Under £50 ex-VAT. One will be mine....

 

Heavy reduction on a crack willow, went well, Rich slick as ever, client well chuffed.

 

No pics yet 'cos my phone got so wet in my pocket it died!

yeah my stein jacket stood up to the heavy rain thrown at me today as well, well worth the money

Do you not sweat your nuts off in them??

only if they are tied around your waist!!!

 

I think they are breathable arnt they?

[Joe]

i get on really well with mine and find it really waterproof, comfy to climb in and quite breathable definitely a good value all rounder

[Steve Bullman]

they're pretty good as it goes

 

im not much one for waterproof clothing, opting to sit in the truck as a rule instead! but i do have a stein jacket and they are pretty good

Yes!!

 

Ventilation could be improved a little, but it’s a pay-off with the relatively cheap price. I have some cycling jackets which breath wonderfully and are truly excellent but the cost £150 upwards.

nope, im always real hot, and found that i was at a pretty comfy temperature, you can undo the zips under the arms for extra venting.

The Big Lad did that today - it was the only part that got wet!

It was a monsoon today reducing a tulip tree, and the stein did well for about 4 hours, then it started letting it in around the armpit zips, and then the water just ran down my collar in a river, and down my arms every time i reached up to adjust the prussic, which you cant odds really. Very impressive bit of kit all said and done. It was unbelievably wet in devon.
