Jack Wolfskin Range Added to site

We're pleased to announce the recent addition of selected Jack Wolfskin products to our site!
As always when adding a new brand, we were very excited to see what these actually looked like 'in the flesh' - and were not disappointed. Jack Wolfskin products are just as multi-purpose as they claim to be, and, letting curiosity get the better of me, I even tried on the Women's Topaz Jacket for myself.
Verdict - so comfortable! Unlike a lot of hard-wearing waterproofs, the Topaz feels soft on the outside instead of hard or scratchy, which as well as enabling freedom of movement - without the obligatory 'rustle' - is made from a material which makes it also waterproof yet robust.
One thing I personally enjoyed about the Topaz was the arm length - for a small size I have reasonably long arms, refreshingly Jack Wolfskin satisfied this with aplomb - it felt like the jacket was made for me!
For technical use and fit, the Topaz is reasonably short on the body, another feature for freedom of movement. I didn't personally get to try this one out - due to the lack of rock/scree/general outdoorsness in the OutdoorKit office - but it certainly delivered both the feel of protection from the elements, while maintaining comfort at the same time.
Coupled with the excessive amount of good looks this jacket posesses, I figure this jacket will be an excellent purchase for someone planning to walk around the Pennines this year - or possibly for me to take on my epic trip to Snowdonia in May! More on that in about two month's time...
