Härkila Orton Packable Lady Jacket

Too big, material has a strangely rubbery feel and is noisy. Returned via New Forest Clothing's excellent returns portal.

Harkila Orton Jacket

Arrived a few days ago and so far I'm very pleased. Yet to be tested in the field though. Nicely lightweight and material feels nice - soft, no rustles. I ordered a size up to allow for bulky under garments & glad I did. Arms are too long as a result but I can live with that. (Why do clothes manufacturers assume proportionality, when I suspect most of us ordering larger sizes have just piled on the inches as we get older - arms haven't grown longer!) . I was after a lightweight absolutely waterproof jacket for early (shooting) season use, with good sized cargo pockets & this looks just the job. Only slight criticism is that I'd have liked more internal pockets (incl one for the phone) - it has just one very large one.

My jacket has just arrived and I am delighted with it. Everything you need: nothing you don't. Hood packs away tidily into collar. Collar snug and high and inner cuffs prevent any drafts. Colour is subdued and material feels nice and does not rustle. Service from New Forest was also excellent. I will certainly be using this company again and I will also look out for Harkila as a clothing alternative to Schöffel etc.
