My new bargain jacket has arrived.
I needed a waterproof for the boat. My walking jacket, whilst excellent, wasn’t really designed with sailing in mind.
On a limited budget I shopped around and eventually decided on the Gul Code Zero Stratus.
It’s simple, classic, good fitting with articulated arms. Made of GCX2 EVO fabric – it's light weight, breathable, waterproof (100% waterproof with taped seams) and windproof. It has a mesh lining, a ‘pack away’ hood and a quick drying fleece lined collar, which I have to say, fits nicely over the chin and mouth area, affording some excellent protection from dollops of spray.
The two way zip looks pretty chunky and tough and has a Velcro storm flap along its length. There are big quick drying hand warming pockets, an easy grab elasticated hem adjuster and adjustable cuffs. All in all it looks the part and I’m looking forward to trying it out over the Easter period
