Long Rider 3-in-1 Oilskin Coat

Best allround coat I owned yet

Some years ago I was looking for a long, durable, practical und decent looking coat, intended for literally everyday use. After doing some research, I ended up with the Longrider 3-in-1 and, from day 1, was never disappointed. I'm standing 185 cm barefoot at 100 kg. I've had a XXL and XL. XL is a little short and tight aroung my chest (125 cm), but XXL is a perfect fit for me. Especially because of the length. Most other coats I found ended much higher, somewhere between my ankles and knees, leaving my calves partially or fully unprotected. It has numerous different pockets on the inside and outside. The large outer ones with the snapdown flaps are big enough to put my sunglass case (Oakley Sports hardcase, quite bulky), along with gloves and other things in them. So there's a lot of room to store your stuff. Guess who's usually chosen to be the mule during family trips. ;-) Replacing my first coat after about two and a half years of daily use (because of wear and tear) I would absolutely recommend that coat as a rugged, though not indestructible ;-),good looking and really comfortable allrounder. I've worn it every single day, all year round, from -10°C (adding the detachable liner) to almost 40°C, in rain, sun, snow, wind and any combination thereof, often carrying a 10 kg backpack while commuting or travelling. So I do have quite a lot of practical experience with it. Two and a half years may not sound like much, but given the circumstances mentioned above, the coat held up very well. Besides... I would be rather surprised, if any other coat or jacket would do any better than that. Since I'm very satisfied with its materials, fit, quality and design, spares are already ordered and on their way.

What an awesome piece!

At 2 meters tall, I was a little worried about the length, but the coat almost reaches my ankles (4XL). Beautiful black with a button-on hood. Nicely waxed with a pleasant scent. The coat also folds up compactly. I'm super happy and looking forward to wearing it for the first time.

Long Rider Oilskin Coat 3-in-1

Here, "long" is the operative word. Coat was a little bit longer than originally envisaged, though in the rolled-up state it, it becomes an almost perfect length. Tad heavier than also imagined, but that is only an issue when putting the coat on. Wearing it all day in the cold winter day of Tokyo, Japan, you don't notice the cold or the weight. Dropping it full length keeps your legs nice and warm and out of harm's way from the biting wind. Waterproofing still needs to be tested for the severe rain - not a problem with the short sprinkle. One of the best purchases in recent months.
