Outdoor retailer Go Outdoors has unveiled a new longline coat, touted as an essential piece for braving the British winter. The Peter Storm Langdale Longline Baffle Jacket is presented as a 'must-have for cold weather adventures', offering a blend of warmth, coverage, and weather protection at a competitive price.
Specifications and Key Features
The jacket is designed with a longer cut for enhanced coverage, aiming to lock in heat during frosty conditions. It is available in two classic colourways: black and khaki. Sizing runs from a UK 10 to a 22, catering to a wide range of shoppers.
In terms of construction, the coat's insulation is a standout feature. It incorporates 24% Sorona fibre, a bio-based material known for providing effective heat retention without excessive bulk. For practical comfort, it includes zipped hand-warmer pockets to keep essentials secure and hands cosy.
Weather resistance comes from a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer shell. This treatment is designed to shed light rain and showers, making the jacket suitable for everyday wear and outdoor walks in damp conditions.
Pricing and Market Comparison
The jacket has a recommended retail price (RRP) of £70. However, Go Outdoors members can purchase it for the promotional price of £59, offering a significant saving for those signed up to the retailer's scheme.
This positions the Langdale jacket competitively within the market. For instance, Next offers a similar Shower Resistant Padded Hooded Longline Coat for £65. Meanwhile, on Amazon, the Berghaus Women's Nula Micro Long Insulated Jacket is currently reduced from £170 to £106.44, placing the Go Outdoors option as a more budget-friendly alternative for a longline, insulated style.
Availability and Initial Reception
As a newly launched product, there are no customer reviews available yet for the Langdale Longline Baffle Jacket. Its combination of features, member pricing, and the retailer's description suggest it is likely to attract attention from shoppers seeking value-focused winter wear.
Go Outdoors summarises the jacket's appeal, stating its design is 'ideal for frosty walks and everyday wear'. With the emphasis on extended coverage, lightweight warmth, and basic shower protection, this new release aims to be a versatile staple for the colder months.
