  A welcome, very cosy and warm layer in wintertime, and great service from the Woodlore staff as always.

  I have had the original ullfrote jacket for about 20 years and decided it was about time I had a new one the quality is just as good, however I was disappointed with the colour which is almost grey looking compared to the original.

  Excellent mid later. Soft and warm, with low bulk. A pleasant change to synthetic material. Very well made.

  Delighted with the product, especially with the stretch of the fabric and the longer back helping keep the warmth in while cycling.

  Overall this is a brilliant garment, I’ve had it for 3 months and my partner is starting to think it’s painted on. Extremely warm, goes very comfortably over a baselayer and under an over shirt of some kind. Soft enough to wear next to the skin. I am tall and the extended rear hem is great for warmth around my lower back when doing activities around camp which require squatting or crouching. Two minor flaws that I see with this garment, the wool will easily snag and pull, so I would never wear it without another garment on top for protection. Also I dislike the long cuff and the thumb hole in the cuff, it’s not a feature I use, plus the hole in the cuff becomes a point of ingress for cold air. For me they would be better just hemming the cuff at the wrist. That said, I would recommend this garment in a heartbeat.

  Love how carefully it’s made and it is real quality. Love anything promoted by Woodlore.

  I bought this top for my husband as part of a gift. He hasn’t taken it off yet! Love it. Really comfortable and great for layering. Highly recommended. I received the item the following day. Excellent service. Will definitely be back.

  Order arrived quickly and well packaged as usual. The item is very well made and although I ordered an XL this time, I may order a size smaller in the future to wear over a base layer or t shirt. The XL is roomy enough to be worn over a couple of layers for myself. The extended arm sleeves with the thumb holes are fantastic, unlike other garments I have these on which are all thin in this area these ones are made of heavier doubled over material and are a godsend. I also have the 200 turtle neck & bottoms and the colour on the 400 is a lot better in being more drab and duller than my 200g versions. In all this is a quality piece of kit, very well made, very warm, length is long to cover & protect your lower back area from chills and a great high collar for keeping the drafts out. My only criticism is why having gone to a drabber colour which helps you blend in better with your surroundings would you want to put a bright white large lettered logo on the collar. Now I’m not against branding, I love my Fjallraven & Swanndri logos, but they are small and dull in comparison but when the whole idea of being out in nature is to blend in why would they do this. The reason I mention it is because I just saw Ben Fogle wearing this item on his show but they must of changed the colour scheme, his one was the same colour of my 200g version, but the logo on the back of the collar is in black, they should of stuck with black. The colour would not put me off purchasing another, but its seems they have gone slightly backwards after making such a good choice to make the garment duller and not so bright, and then sticking a hideous large white logo on the back of it.

  My mid layer of choice for walking in the Peak District during the recent February 2021 easterly winter blast. It works especially well with a wool base layer as it stays warm even if one does perspire a tad. Lack of pockets does mean it's not the best for a general purpose jacket on its own but that's not the point as I'm more than happy. It ticks all the boxes of a warm wooly mid layer.
