I picked up a couple of these in Antibes last week for 30 euro each, for friends and family to use when we get a solent dayboat.

I find they're also available in the UK for just £20 each. That's an unbelievable price, the quality is very good for the money, and you wouldn't immediately distinguish them from a coastal jacket from one of the leading brands (though you would when you looked closely).

Fully waterproof, taped seams, fleece lining, and trendy white stitching a bit like the Musto stuff, SWMBO prefers it to my Gill jacket costing 10x as much. It's not breathable, but that's not really an issue for lazy mobo drivers.

Size wise, i'm 6'3" and slim, the large was too big, but the medium fits well, with enough length in the arms and body.

Reccomended if you're on a tight budget, or want some for friends, family or charter guests

edit: seems there's a breathable version for £26, plus other colours available

Appears they have a branch at Lakeside...(ask the wife) wonder if they do thermals etc. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
For those who have pm'd offering to send food parcels, I only bought the jacket for guests, honest. Anyway, didn't you all know there's a recession on /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yip, I like them, but I can't find anywhere to buy them online.
Anyone got an answer?

Im pretty sure they dont sell online.

Ours are about 5 years old now , still going strong with loads of life left and I bet these are even better.
 
Well niw I wish I hadn't heard about them!
Could do with a new Navy jacket!

Anyone want to get one and post me it? There aren't any dealers north of the border....................Hmm, maybe a new side line! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bought a version of each in "Poncy Yacht Club Red" for wife and myself today.The £25 jobbie is very warm and cosy,The £20 version more than OK for rainy summer use.
All need now is an Aston to park right outside the clubhouse entrance. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Went to their outlet at Lakeside in Essex,massive place selling all types of own brand gear for fishing/sailing/shooting/horse riding/swimming/diving/skiing/cycling and archery ?.
Place may be french owned as has feel of hypermarche,big discounts if you buy bulk quantities ie.1000m reels of fishing line etc (size of small cable drum).
Jacket seemed to be available in Red/Navy and a light Beige,stock a bit low but were able to find what we needed.
Excellent place to buy even more stuff you do not really need and probably will never use ,we now have 2 x telescopic fishing rods !
Not sure if they will post but website easy to find.
