647 views on this video at the time of this comment. It's criminal that content of this quality doesn't have more. Really hope you keep this channel going. Actual proper reviews of kit you've used - that's better than 99% of the crap reviews out there. Love you Paramo reviews too, really helped me decide on a system to go with.

Thanks very much ☺️ that’s real kind of you to comment 👍🏻 I’m afraid You Tube is increasingly full of poor content that seems to get to the top of the searches and many reviews are clearly done by people who have no practical experience of the item, (which is fine if that’s acknowledged )- I enjoy producing videos and for my own enjoyment and am always encouraged by such comments as yours, so will continue to do so 😉 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕⛰

Zippers quality is very important. 2 way zippers and pitzips, properly adjustable hood and cuffs also very important to me.

Yeah, I would agree with this- The :Ladakh has all these aspects and I rate its design- Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy

Just purchased this jacket after watching this video , going to use it for walking the dog on the hills & for when I’m playing golf as I suspect it will be more waterproof than a golf jacket , I don’t really like wearing 2 pairs of trousers what would you recommend in that department?

It’s proved a good jacket 👍🏻 The best winter trouser bar none (IMO), is the Paramo Cascada Analogy Waterproof trousers ☺️ I do a review of the originals 🤔 I use them in many mountain vids (and also the Enduro, which I also review 😋)- Enjoy your outdoors time. Andy 🌧️🏔️🌀

Hey mate good video enjoyed watching it. What size was the jacket you had on? I’m usually a large in Rab but have heard these fit big? Also have you had any experience with the Rab Kangri?

Hi, glad you enjoyed the review ☺️ It was a large and fits well- I am 6ft and medium build- its well tailored and has room for layers etc. Would say for rabbles they fit big, (but its always hard to give fit advice as its very subjective)- Never tried the Kangri. Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy

How do you like the Goretex Pro, too loud and stiff? Is The Whole jacket 70D or just the higher wear areas? What is the denier of the rest? How is the DWR so far? Wet out to soon? Have you found a great DWR yet, or is it a apply every couple months, due to the removal of chemicals that make the DWR last?

Most hard shells suffer from noise and stiffness in my experience- the softer face fabrics seem to suffer from wetting out quicker, I have some theories why, but its beyond my fabric knowledge at present- even if you had a longer lasting DWR than presently available any hard shell would still need regular washing, as the microporous holes will still block and the DWR will become coated with dirt, that would mask its effect, especially in high ware areas- Nikwax recommends regular washing and less reproofing for this reason, and in my experience I would agree with that. There is resistance to washing coats, but if washing will damage a coat, it was already broken! 😉 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕⛰
