Craghoppers jacket

Promise

Staying dry in style is what the Bloomsbury offers to the wearer – but can its classic design match up to a bleak day out in December?

Performance

The Bloomsbury from Craghoppers is a great outdoors jacket with a touch of flair. It’s got all the technology you’d expect from a top-quality coat but it balances its usefulness with styling that comes straight from the Belstaff and Barbour schools.

Comfy to wear, the Bloomsbury is built from SmartDry cotton twill with a GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable liner. Weighing in at 1100g, it’s reliably solid in feel and warm even in hard winds. We tested this coat during a two-hour hike in December, under constant rain, without any sign of leaking or damp.

You can rely on the tech built in to this coat, but where it really stands out is in the styling. The cut is timeless and complimentary; with adjustable waist and cuffs, you can nip in the tailoring to create a feminine profile. They manage to create a truly practical women’s jacket without resorting to pastel pinks to prove a point.

Verdict

Perfect for city dwellers who enjoy the outdoors, or the more style-conscious outdoors girl.  A timeless style that will last and last.
