james68, they are reasonable stuff, along with the likes of Trespass. Wouldn't pay that for one tho. Check out TK Maxx, they do all kinds of Dare 2 Be stuff, at about 40 quid.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

james68, Welcome to snowheads. I think they come from the same company as Regatta. I agree they are Ok but better on design than materials. I think you could do better than that for less money at TK Maxx too.
The other point is that you really need to try it on. A jacket that is a bit too bi for you can inflate at speed and turn you into a Michelin man. Toosmall gives drafts. I am very fussy about the fit at the cuff/glove joint. I think you need to try some on.

I've been wearing a D2B jacket bought from TXMAXX in a similar fabric for £35 bought about a year ago and have been wearing it day in day out as an everyday jacket, although it is a skiing one (at that price why not in the summer we've just had). I've had no problems with wear and tear, its warm and dry and I'd buy another - I also wore it for a weeks skiing last Feb and it was perfectly servicable. Get one from TXMAXX you'll pay a fraction of that internet cost as has been mentioned.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

james68, welcome to Snowheads. I agree with the posts above - that's way too much money for that jacket. And you need to try it on.

I use a D2B jacket for spring skiing, bought for £25 off the 'net. Does the job. They tend to have a generous fit I think.

james68, to provide a more accurate answer to your title - yes, they are good, but they are a bargain basement priced brand - none the worse for that (I have Trespass from TK Maxx - £50). Hence the comments about this one being over-priced.

Yep. TK Maxx is the way forward if you want a cheap jacket. They have lots of good Nike ACG Goretex and Lafuma Goretex jackets in the one just up the road from me. Some are as cheap as £50 and very nice. Shame i don't need any jackets.
