Catterpillar jacket

Comments

    It's only worth about a tenner anyway.

    A similar model was available from M&M Direct this time last year and I bought it like half of boards.ie

    There's absolutely NO WAY this is a high quality CAT jacket, it's some sort of outlet style thing with the CAT branding.

    It's a thin fabric outer with a soft foam inner and a light mesh inside. The stitching on mine came undone, the pockets are the flimisest material and I've had to sew both pockets back because they ripped quickly. It is not waterproof in any way. I was outside in the rain for less than 10 minutes and the rain soaked all the way through the jacket and through my clothes and soaked me. Jacket was like a giant sponge afterwards.

    The jacket is only worth a tenner, so getting a jacket for this price it's nearly disposable and you should probably treat it as such rather than expect CAT quality, or expect an €83 jacket

    I know others had probs with this jacket but have mine over a year now and no probs at all.

    Also have mine since last year. Been a decent buy for me.

    Last year I posted this offer and the jacket is still going strong. I did give it away but the lad wears it most days and loves it. It's so darn warm as well.

    Remember it being cheaper last year though.

    I cant believe CAT put their name on it,It looked like a fake to me.

    That one in the link looks decent.

    Bought the jacket and a bodywarmer for €20 delivered using the discount code. Can't go wrong for €20!
