With temperatures plummeting to as low as minus 5ºC at the time of writing this review, there is nothing I wanted more than a waterproof, thermal garment to keep me protected and I believe the team at Fox International has delivered the perfect solution. The Sherpa-Tec jacket combines some of the latest fabric advancements, bringing an affordable, functional and protective dual-layer clothing system to the market. Now some of you will be saying that at near £110 this isn’t so affordable. However, with the detailed and durable build quality that will last a good few seasons I would have to disagree. An external, waterproof, laminated polyester fabric offering an impressive 5,000mm hydrostatic head keeps you dry, while the internal thermo-performance Sherpa fleece means you stay comfortable and toasty in even the most demanding of environments. The three-quarter-length jacket also boasts breathable properties that are essential for comfort throughout long periods of use. A removable hood complete with adjustable wired peak, Velcro adjustable cuffs, heavy-duty YKK zips and double-exit hem with waist drawcord are just several of the impressive features that the Sherpa jacket has to offer. Available in small to XXXL, allowing you to get the very best fit straight from the word go. This is one item of clothing that genuinely does look smart without a compromise on performance. If you’re in the market for a winter jacket then definitely give this one a thorough look. (DM)
