What our reviewers liked and didn't

Kanadier / Greenland Winter Jacket

  • Exceptional durability and longevity, built to last decades
  • Excellent wind resistance and solid warmth for its class
  • Classic, timeless aesthetic that never goes out of style
  • Generous fit allows for comfortable layering
  • Eco-friendly G-1000 Eco fabric with re-waxable water resistance
  • Heavy and bulky, not ideal for ultralight travel
  • Requires regular waxing for optimal water resistance
  • Not suitable for high-output activities due to moderate breathability
  • Not fully waterproof; heavy rain will eventually penetrate

Coldstop Mk II Anorak

  • Retains warmth effectively even when wet
  • Exceptional durability for rugged use
  • Practical, no-nonsense design for field conditions
  • Good value for reliable cold-weather protection
  • Wind-resistant and sheds light precipitation well
