Used a Fjern Gokotta 1 tent on a backpacking trip into Kintail in September with gusty winds and heavy rain. Even after 22 hours of rain, the inside of the tent was completely dry, and I never felt cold. A great little piece of kit, but orient the end into the wind to minimise drag. At 1.1 kg (approx) it's really quite an excellent piece of kit.
The women's waterproof coat is the absolute worst coat any woman could buy. Do not buy it. My issues:1. Size. I'm a womens 14 and I wouldn't consider myself so overweight that I don't fit mainstream clothing. This coat would have you thinking otherwise. The size large fits like a size S. I ordered a large because usually size L clothing has an oversized look on it which I prefer so I can layer. When layering this coat while in the peruvian andes, it fit very tight which I didn't like. 2. The hood. This hood would have you thinking this coat was made for women in the handmaid's tale. It's so big that it's borderline unsafe crossing the road because you can't even see from side to side. I figured out there's a string to pull to make it tighter but because there's so much fabric it just wrinkles up and looks ridiculous. 3. The zip. Beside the zip is a long piece of fabric so you can't move the zipper at all without the zip getting stuck. I dread the rain because I have to use this coat because It gets stuck every. Single. Time. All my life, a zip getging stuck was a rare occurance. Its Incredibly frustrating thaf it happens everytime I use this coat and because I'm so used to it I am extremely careful with it and have a method so icant stress enough how bad the coat design is that even with extreme caution the zip still gets stuck. Today I've hit my limit, it got stuck as it always does and the zip just came off. I thought that's a shame but the coat has too zips, surely that one was a backup for this happening ... well, the backup zip is basically there for decoration. I'm convinced this coat was designed by idiots, or sexist idiots, because my dad's Fjern coat has no issues. If you're reading this, Fjern, yes, your coat design is so urterly terrible that I genuinely believe your designers must be mysognistic.After a year of issues and only keeping it because I ordered it too close to my andes trip and didn't have time to buy another one, this coat is finally going to a charity shop, where it will likely sell for about £2 because its so terrible, or end up in landfill where it belongs (even though I'm a sustainable person and would never throw away clothes, this is where it deserves).
