I have been buying Spotty Otter products for 9 years now and have never been disappointed. The Patrol is always my son's winter coat and the Adventure Jacket for the summer. They are the only ones he'll wear. The quality is always fabulous, they wash well and they're comfortable. I can't remember him ever getting cold or wet in the winter with the Patrol, the fleece lining is lovely, but doesn't make the jacket too bulky. I like the reflective strips for safety and the snug-fitting hood which doesn't blow down in the wind. The same goes for the Patrol in the summer, it really is waterproof and the hood stays up even in strong winds. We've also had a couple of pairs of Forest Leader wellies over the years which again I would give 5 stars for comfort and reliability.
