Advantages: strong, warm, waterproof and a good price
Disadvantages: the hood is onl made out of a thin bit of material so it gets wet.

...I know horses are an expensive business and you look at the clothing catalogues and jackets seem to cost about £100-£150. This are the more expensive names like Mountain Horse. I have owned my saddlecraft jacket for about one and a half years. I was lucky enough to win it. I have looked in catalogues and found it not bad for value. This jacket is very warm and keeps me very dry if it is pouring outside except for the hood which is just a thin layer of material. It has three pockets one inside the jacket, a drawstring at the waist and zip followed by push buttons. I have washed my jacket several times and it is easy to clean and look after and it keeps it colour very well. I would recommend this jacket to any horse riders it is comfortable and is exactly what us horse riders needs. It is strong and comes in different styles. This jacket... Read review

Advantages: its very comfort for all seasons
Disadvantages: not so strainable

...Everything that's claimed is true.. I've been out in tropical style cloudbursts wearing my Barbour and hood. Everything below the jacket hem was soaked ie the lower calves of my legs and feet. But my Barbour did it's duty and kept the rest of me bone dry! It is also remarkably wind proof. Combined with a vest,shirt and jumper and a decent Tinsulate lined wooly hat, I've braved nasty cold east winds this winter and stayed warm.I've also been through bushes by accident of course. Again a lesser jacket would have been pierced by thorns etc and as a result, I was saved from some potential nasty injury. Ok so it does what it's supposed to.... Everything that's claimed is true..

Advantages: very versatile
Disadvantages: None really

...CAROLINA III LADIES MILATEX TM JACKET This is a sports jacket, which is very much an outdoor coat. It is lightweight, waterproof and is easy to make compact to stowaway. The secret of this jacket and what makes it different is its design and it is made out of Milatex. It is ideal for days out, holidays, when travelling or just everyday use. Really anytime you want to bring a coat and want to store it and don't have much space as it packs up small. This coat has some special features that make it better in my opinion than others. It is waterproof and will keep you dry from the rain. It comes down over your bum, which is great, as it keeps it dry. I find this important as it means you are not sitting on wet clothes all day as some coats don't cover this region very well and you still get wet. No wet gets inside your coat... Read review

Advantages: If you like a thinking film, then this is the film for you.
Disadvantages: Quite difficult to understand in some parts.

...The Jacket staring Keira Knightley playing Jackie and Adrian Broody playing Jack Starcks, provides a thrilling film with an exciting and mind boggoling story-line. Jack returns from the Gulf War 12 months later having been shot in the head with a gun by an Iraqi orphan, he experinences 2 life changing events; first he meets the young Jackie and her mother on the side of a road as their truck has broken down. Jack fixes the truck and gives Jackie his dog tags. Jack then carries on and gets picked up by a stranger, they get stopped by the police and the stranger shoots the policeman and then puts the blame on Jack. Jack then goes to trial although we do not see this and instead of being put in prison for the policeman's murder, the court decides that Jack should be put in to a mental hospital where he can undergo tests. Whilst... Read review

Advantages: Some great songs, good booklet
Disadvantages: Some of the songs are similar

...'s to break up, She was stronger. All my friends say, please don't love her. What did i gain? Now i miss her so." The CD booklet is black on the outside and says "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics" on because of the bad language used in some of the songs. It has images of a plane, a pair of trousers (pants) and a jacket to symbolise "Take Off Your Pants And Jacket"- the name of the album. Inside the booklet are various funny photos of the band dressing up and messing around. The booklet also contains lyrics to all of the songs which is great (except for the last track), I hate CD booklets that don't print the lyrics in them. A downside is that for me a few of the songs aren't that recogniseable and I find that after not listening to the CD for a while, I forget which songs are which because a couple of them sound quite similar! Overall... Read review

Advantages: The flashback scenes in the mortuary draw
Disadvantages: Complicated time travel plot

...which while travelling in is pulled over by the cops. At this point the film cuts to Jack in a court room explaining that he can't remember what happened due to his amnesia. He is found guilty of murder and is sent to an asylum for the criminally insane as he is a danger to society. He begins experiential treatments for his mental problems from Dr Becker (played by Kris Kristofferson) and the treatments consist of a course of mind-altering drug injections while being restrained in a full body jacket, hence the title. While under the influence of the drugs he is placed on the slab in a mortuary drawer and he starts to have flash backs while in the confined space. This I feel was done really well as all you see on screen are Jack's eyes in the dark sound dead drawer and you see his war and present flashbacks in his eyes. The sound... Read review

Advantages: It being similar to their old stuff - great
Disadvantages: lack of variety and new material

...Blink-182's fifth full-length studio album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, offers exactly what fans have come to expect from the so called punk-pop trio (bit of an oxymoron) and nothing more. Growth? Nah. Progression? Not exactly. Maturity? Hell, no. "I'll never talk to you again, unless your dad will s*ck me off / I'll never talk to you again, unless your mom will touch my c*ck," sings bassist-vocalist Mark Hoppus on "Happy Holidays," one of many absolutely absurd, yet undeniably addictive tracks on take off you pants and jacket. "Break a window and bust a wall / Making fun of your friend's mom / Turn the music up way too loud / Charge a pizza to the house," he sings on "Reckless Abandon." Blink-182 sticks to the winning formula of past efforts Dude Ranch and Enema of the State on the album, an extremely well-produced, hard... Read review

Advantages: FEWER INSURANCE CLAIMS, LESS BREAKAGES, FREE
Disadvantages: NONE

...Remote accidentally be thrown across the room during aggressive gameplay. If you are lucky, nothing is broken. If you are not so lucky, that expensive mirror is smashed, the controller is embedded in the television, the fish tank is now empty and the fish are flapping on the floor, or the window frame now has no glass. Lets hope that your insurance premiums are fully paid and that you have a sympathetic insurance company. The players themselves need protection too. I've seen it on quite a few occasions where a rival Wii player gets an accidental mouthful of Wii remote during heated games or a hard bash on the head. No doubt you have seen it too or have heard about similar instances from friends. With the Jacket on the Wii remote, other players may now no longer risk facial bruising. I have read that the free covers will cost... Read review
