We’ve been lucky in Manchester so far. Autumn has hasn’t been too cold or wet but we all know winter is coming and if you’re in the market for a new big jacket, then Oi Polloi is a great place to start.
It’s always worth spending a decent amount of money on a good quality jacket, as the right one could last you years and help keep you warm and dry during the seemingly endless British winter.
Oi Polloi stock a wide variety of jackets that combine style and functionality. The Scandinavian brands Norse Projects and Rains focus on waterproof ones. Rains offers nice, simple, lightweight raincoats. While Norse Projects has collaborated with Elka to produce jackets that are water-proof, wind-stoppers, specifically designed to retain heat.
If you’re looking for something more heavyweight then the Amercian outdoor brands Patagonia, Penfield and Woolrich are a good choice. Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers and their parkas really do the job. Penfield’s heritage was also in mountaineering and their down jackets will fully insulate you against freezing weather. The Woolrich Arctic Parka was originally designed for workers on the Alaskan Pipeline who had to cope with sub-zero temperatures but will set you back over six hundred quid!
