Challenger Anorak

I’m 5’9” about 165 lbs and I ordered a large. The fit is good for me there’s room for some layers underneath. I like a lot of room to move and am happy in oversized clothing. If had a little more room without the sleeves being longer I would not be disappointed. I have only worn the coat in a light rain so can’t report on its waterproofing. I was disappointed to see two vent holes in each armpit particularly since I bought it to replace a rain coat that leaks at the armpits. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and the vent holes won’t be a problem. The last thing I would do if I were designing a raincoat is put holes in it. There is nothing about the material of the coat that says rugged workwear to me. It is more like a light weight pack- able layer which I didn’t expect. It can certainly be something I’ll use but not exactly what I was expecting. There is also a small zipper pocket that looks like it will hold water and direct it towards the zipper if the zipper was ever inclined to leak

I bought this rain coat to use when I golf in the rain. The hood will be great if I need to pull it up and the side zipper makes it much easier to put the coat on and off. I have not used it yet because in WNY we are dealing with the snow until the spring. But the quality of the coat shows it will do the job.
