What is the Sakata Coat?
It's a warm, padded, waterproof jacket that offers plenty of protection and insulation on miserable winter days. It's the ideal piece for everyday errands, outdoor lifestyles and leisurely hill walks, and has a lovely, fashionable cut that looks fantastic with any outfit.
It's the perfect option for ladies looking for something both functional and trendy.
What is it made of?
The outer material is made from lightweight and durable polyester. It has a PU membrane which gives it its waterproof and windproof nature, and reinforces the polyester to resist general wear and tear from daily use. PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) encourages rain and snow to bead off the fabric instead of soaking in. If you're unsure, PFC-free means it hasn't used per-fluorinated chemicals that harm the environment - a much greener choice than conventional treatments.
The lining is made from recycled polyester. Though recycled, this material doesn't skimp on quality! It feels lovely and smooth next to the skin should you be wearing a tee or vest top underneath.
Synthetic polyester insulation fills the jacket. Synthetic insulation has multiple benefits depending on your activity and the conditions. It can retain heat when wet, unlike down, making it fantastic for damp climates and wet weather while being incredibly durable, lightweight and highly flexible for all-day comfort.
What are its features?
The Sakata has an insulated hood with a volume adjuster at the front and back, allowing you to optimise the fit with or without a hat and reduce dead space around little heads to maximise warmth.
You can fasten the jacket using the two-way zip on the front. Two-way zips are super handy as they give you extra accessibility and ventilation when you need it. You can unzip it from the bottom to create more airflow underneath without taking the whole thing off - perfect for hill walking where your body temperature might rise quicker on inclines.
The zip has a storm flap over the top secured with velcro for a simple, quick and easy solution.
For storage, there are two softly lined hand pockets, perfect for keeping your mitts warm and stowing away snacks and doggy bags. Each pocket is fastened with a zip for reassurance that you won't lose anything on the move. If you need something a little more secure, there's also an inner zip pocket, perfect for keeping keys, a small purse or a mobile phone.
Articulated sleeves improve freedom of movement and allow you to move without pulling the body of the jacket around. Cuffs are elasticated and finished with a soft knit to provide maximum stretch, flexibility and next-to-skin comfort.
