"Love it! Generous size and exactly what I expected."
"I use to wear an L, 80kg and 178 cm. First I bought the size L. Enormous!!! Then I go for the size M. Still too big. The hood only fits if you wear a helmet. In other case it covers your entire face and you see nothing. It only works with a lot of clothes inside the parka and a helmet, and so on. . . ."
"Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, gute Verarbeitung und ausreichender Kälteschutz."
