Look past the cost first of all and read the reviews on this Anorak. The quality and feel of the Anorak from taking it out of the packaging and for the first time you wear it made me realise what a piece of quality kit I had bought. I wear mine for the Beach walks and for everything in between now the rain just has no effect to the warmth my body retains when wearing a light piece of warm clothing underneath it. If your serious about travelling by foot and staying dry then this is certainly what you are looking for. I actually look forward to it raining just so I can wear it out definitely getting my moneys worth. Swazi/Ray Mears Tahr Gore-Tex Anorak reviewed by customer Roger Webb 3 December, 2010

As with other reviews i have also been putting off buying a tahr due to its price tag...BUT you soon understand that it is very well manufactured & it is SO worth buying, im 6ft 2" and have not found a single jacket with a high enough collar to cover my chin mouth and nose and keep my backside and upper legs dry all at the same time!
I have yet to become cold or hot, strange as it seems my body temperature is always comfortable, obviously good undergarments are required.
the hood is fantastic and no chance of getting a face full of rain with the bendy wire running around the rim of the hood.
O and nice touch with the double velcro's around the neck area, when not in use they double back on them selves and stops the spikey side of the velcro slowly scrapping your chin off.
The tahr is also very quiet and extreamly light!
I can recommend this Anorak to anyone who wishes to stay dry even in the most awful of conditions.
Its a pleasure to where one! Swazi/Ray Mears Tahr Gore-Tex Anorak reviewed by customer Bradley White 15 November, 2010

I had been considering buying one of these for months, now I have my only regret is I didn't buy it sooner, many a miserable, wet and cold day here in Scotland could have been avoided if I had. What can I say? This is simply the best outdoor jacket or any item of outdoor clothing I have ever owned and I can fully understand why it is Ray's favourite, so if you are like me and you've been considering getting one dont delay hit BUY now you won't regret it.

I've been after one of these for a few years now and the only thing putting me off was the price. I was looking for a jacket which was around a 3/4 length to stop air traveling up the back of the jacket which is a problem I find with most jackets on the market these days. Especially when moving around and crouching which when photographing wildlife is something I do a lot! I decided to bite the bullet last week and ordered one of these. I put it to the test while camping in the New Forest the following weekend and I was amazed with it instantly. It's very warm and comfortable to wear. Sitting still in heavy rain is never much fun, but this jacket actually adds some happiness to this experience. The long design of the coat allows more of your lower body to remain dry and warm and with the addition of a pair of gaiters it provides almost full body cover. Though it does not pack as small as other weather proof jackets on the market, it does roll up into it's hood to make for easy packing. The pack size however is a welcome sacrifice for the amazing quality of this jacket. A nice touch I thought which just polished off the quality of this jacket was the personal "Crafted By" on the label inside.
Woodlore will always be my first port of call for outdoor gear.
Keep up the awesome work guys! Swazi/Ray Mears Tahr Gore-Tex Anorak reviewed by customer Kevin Hennessy 6 May, 2010

The Tahr anorak combines excellent protection from the elements with freedom of movement.
It is tough. After nearly two and a half years of regular use, mine shows no signs of deterioration. I almost invariably take it with me on woodland excursions. The breast pockets provide stowage for items like hat and gloves when not in use. Swazi/Ray Mears Tahr Gore-Tex Anorak reviewed by customer Steve Smith 29 September, 2009
