Berghaus Long Cornice II Men's GORE-TEX® Jacket

A well made quality garment, generous long length and a good hood. If i had a criticism there are no easy hand warmer pockets

I bought one of these two years ago and the receptacle at the bottom of zip fastener has always been difficult and has now dropped off, so the zip is no loner serviceable. Otherwise it is excellent,

Pros; The length is perfect and the cut is good. The poppered zip storm flap works well, hood is useful.
Cons; Lining is horrible, Zips are poor quality and the polyester shell leaks after 2 years.

Fits nicely but hasn't been tested in hard rain but Gortex should withstand it.
Unsure if the zip will undo from the lowest securing position as it can be unzipped from this position by pulling the zip upwards.
Looks nice.

Great rain coat keeps out the rain and wind would recommend

Exellent coat I hv been walking the dog's in the recent down pour totally dry exellent coat can't recommend bergaus cornice long jacket.
I also wore their waterproof trousers and BOOTS. Over the yrs iv tried many different makes of clothing and footwear.Berghaus are the best for the price and Quality. PAY the extra you won't be sorry.

superb product keeps the wind and rain out and keeps you comfortable inside

Great in wind and rain - stay dry, stay warm it does all that it's asked to do and lightweight with it. For someone who is over 6'2" the extra length is terrific

1. Still no pit zips fitted.
2. The neck length of the hood needs extending to allow comfortable use when not layered up.
3. The peak could be longer so providing better protection when wearing a peaked hat
4. Sleeve cuffs needs to be wider to cover glove wrists on stormy and cold days.

Little low cost things that change an adequate garment into a stunning garment

This was a replacement for a previous Berghaus Long jacket which was wearing out after many year's use. It has proved it's worth already in the heavy rain and strong winds we've had recently, keeping both out.

For over a year now my better half has been trying to get me out of my old Long Cornice and into a new jacket. I had grown into my old jacket over several years and was reluctant to be parted from it. However, we eventually found a new one in Go Outdoors, Inverness and like a hermit crab, was then happy to be shoehorned out of my old jacket and into the new one. I love the dark green colour and I am no longer being berated for looking shabby in public :) I wholeheartedly recommend this jacket to anyone who wants lots of space in the side pockets and a jacket that should last many years with everyday use.

This is my second Berghaus coat, the first gave very good service, so had no hesitation in buying another one.

I have had my coat for seven years and whilst it is still waterproof ,it has faded badly and looks quite shabby . I contacted BERGHAUS and the reply was .it was seven years old and they will fade with time , it has not faded all over only on the shoulders . so its ok for gardening but I wouldn't be seen out in it in public .That was not the reply I was expecting .VERY DISAPOINTED .djb

This jacket is amazing would tell you buy it's. light weight can be carried in bag, used to do Yorkshire 3 peak challenge and was dry then raining dry and raining. dd the job really well.

Hi brought this jacket for my 3 peak Yorkshire challenge. Best thing i had it rained heavy for the whole 10 hours of walking and was still dry at end, was good in the wind as well.

Had this jacket for about 5 years its been put through its paces. Seriously used walking parts of Hadrians wall, this included 4 seasons in one day. Rain, sleet, sun,wind and lightning storms.The waterproof and breathability on this jacket is second to none. The price tag always puts people off but if your going to own one brilliant jacket make it this one. I wear it still and its in amazing nick. You seriously can't go wrong with this product and i for one love Gore-Tex. Purchase one and you will never look back.

Got this on 3rd December 2014 and exttatic about it! Worn it about a dozen times, always hung up on hanger to dry. Went out in it evening 24th July in heavy rain and within 30 minutes both lower arms were soaked. Now totaly pee'd off

Further to my January 2015 review I have discovered an overwhelming need for this coat to be fitted with Pit Zips. Still 5* without them but 6* with!

This is my second LONG Cornice jacket and the improvements over the Mk 1 version are great. My favourites are The neck length is increased so that the hood is no longer tight against my head when wearing a hat under it and the cuffs are wider so allowing gloves the be more easily tucked in, especially the second one when the other hand is gloved and struggling to perform this task. A great benefit of the longer length is that i can wear and vent my Deluge trousers with this coat without any rain getting in as the top zipped and vented part is snug beneath the coat. Only time will tell is this coat is as durable as its price tag suggests. Seriously consider going up a size to allow for winter jumpers and fleeces to be worn beneath it and for the collar to fasten. A great coat albeit one that lacks variety on the colour front. . Go for it because it's a great garment and you have the backing of the Goretex guarantee which is bomb proof!

I bought this jacket because I wanted a longer jacket for everyday wear when walking to and from work. As winter is not quite upon us it hasn't been used in anger. I have worn it on a couple of rainy days and it just seems to shrug it off with rain just beading and running off. The coat is really comfortable to wear the hood has an adjuster at the rear and a really good peak which keeps rain off face. I have also purchased the same brand fleece which zip into it so it should cope well with anything the British winter can throw at it. The coat looks like it is well made and good quality I am sure it will stand the test of time.
