Beta Mantel Damen

Hallo, Ich wollte diese Jacke als Ersatz für meinen alten Codetta-Mantel. Leider steht sie mir überhaupt nicht. Der Schnitt ist sehr gerade und hat keine überhaupt keine Taillierung. Der kleine Gummizug am Rücke sitzt bei mir viel zu hoch. Von der Passform fällt der Mantel sehr gross aus. Die Länge ist bei mir Knielänge. Das Material knistert und raschelt sehr laut und ist eher steif. Vielleicht würde sich das aber nach längerem Tragen und einigen Wäschen bessern. Zum Schluß noch was Positives - Die Farbe (Soulsonic) ist wunderschön! Endlich mal wieder ein Lichtblick nach den ganzen Schlamm- und Tarnfarben der letzten Zeit!

I purchased this coat in 2022. I like the shape and design, but the grid-like material on the inside of the wrists, about an inch from the cuffs, gets soaked in moderate rain! This is really uncomfortable! I believe the same material is used at the hem, about an inch in length as well. In moderate rain, my wrists are always wet (the material absorbs and holds the water). Was this tested? For such an expensive coat from a well-known brand, it should be recalled and repaired.

Part of my issue could well be a sizing problem, but I found this coat to be a poor fit for my body type. Settled for an XS because there were no XXS. This shell is way too bulky for my frame. Save for the excellent hood design, the pockets are not designed to carry anything heavier than gloves it seems, and this exacerbates the other issue that there is a permanent fold that forms in the front below the pockets that pools water and then dumps it on to the knees and into boots as I am walking/hiking. In my opinion, the slight tapering on the Codetta jacket prevented this issue - fully appreciating that its a differnt product. The other thing that is disappointing is that the grey interior lining material (that is quadratic) on sleeves and bottom, absorb water and takes over 30 minutes to dry. The exterior doesn't bead water off - maybe my misinterpretation of the material. Perhaps this is part of the redesign, but at the price point, its not a value proposition if you're out on the mountain with el doggo everyday. Challenging to reseal and wash every 7 heavy uses. Because the shell is so absorbent, it makes it hard to clean mud off it if you take a spill like I did when my dog came barreling down a hill. Sorry that this review is so grumpy; I came home soaked and cold today and its been an hour and the jacket is still wet in some sections.
