Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm ALWAYS cold - or fear I'm going to be too cold!! So this jacket was bought to replace/reduce all of my 'back up' jumpers and jackets I take with me on a 'spring/summer/autumn walk. The idea being that this packs down small in a bag - and can be put on top of the hoody/fleece/jumper I'm already wearing if I get cold. And by golly does it do the job!
During lockdown as we can't go far - I've been using it for my runs - and every time ended up too warm! Me too warm? I know, shocker right! For example today, it was 2'c and I had on a thin thermal top, and this jacket - and was too warm! (side note: I'm new to running and only on week 3 of the couch to 5k so the majority of my 30mins outside was actually walking!)
The only downsides to this coat so far are is that there is no hood and it's white at the top half, so my makeup has transferred onto the collar! IF you are after a jacket like this with a hood, look at my Peter Storm Blisco Jacket review.

I highly recommend something like this to be in your jacket collection. It's a great jacket that is really warm and comfortable and packs down small enough to pop in your back pack as a spare, for those chilly evening walks. I score this 9/10.
