Get them to email you a pre paid label and you use parcel motel costing €4.50. Basically parcel motel hand it to the Royal Mail with a collect + barcode, you stick to the box, and job done. That's how I'm sending something back to them soon.

Cheers for the info BB; good to know for any potential future issues. The CS agent never mentioned that as an option when I asked her this morning. Only that I was to email them a cost for the reg'd parcel and they would refund me.

Different jacket, similar issue in that I've stuff to go back to them. Three identical jackets(their stupid website) turned up, two by dpd and one parcel motel.

Pm couldn't stop/refuse the package so I can do a return with them using the collect+ option so I will bill mandm €3.50 plus €4.50 to return it.

I told the DPD man to return one so my tracking now says "Parcel Rejected" "At Depot" and I kept the one jacket I actually wanted. Easier to reject the parcel than going to the trouble of resenting it, also costs me nothing.

Hopefully all goes well because I have been charged for all the jackets and shipping individually of course.

got one of these in xxl but wasnt expecting a hood so if anyone wants it for cost price
(31.50) let me know

Thanks OP. The jacket is keeping me nice and warm.

Though I'm convinced that MandM are selling seconds. There's lots of thread unraveled on my one, and the internal pockets are so flimsey that they've already torn. I expected CAT stuff to be tough

I can fix those things with a bit of needle and thread work though and still have a warm jacket for a great price, but I don't think it will hold together for the rest of the season at this rate

Ordered mine late (9th), but thought it would have been here by now.
I just checked my email and it turns out i missed the email where they wanted my date of birth/address/chosen address etc..

Received another email two days ago

It's Gone.

I waited too feckin long. I'm going to see if it comes back at a similar (But i'm not going to wait long ).

It's on thehut.

The black one in the middle on the bottom, I was going to post it, but the price/offer changed. For the rest of the jackets, it's a better offer.

They have changed the code, and with it changed the price. It must have been a misprice. Gone up to €51 now which is still okay, considering i had missed the caterpillar jacket anyway and was paying €38 + €3.50 (or €7) on ParcelMotel.

Might still get it.

There is other jackets available, i just wasn't mad on them. The only ones i like are the Craghoppers.

Happy for you, but there is no way on earth that these are "Class A" CAT product. Not a chance in hell.

I bought Large and I'm Large-XL and if fits nicely. It's really warm. It's my default "It's very cold out" Jacket.

dodzy

I've said it before, but for anybody contemplating purchase, just be aware that you ARE NOT going to get regular Caterpillar quality with this jacket. For the money, it's not bad I suppose, but for those of you out there that have worn Cat stuff before, you will cop the difference immediately.

K.C

Just ordered one,cheers OP.

Clareman

I got 1 of the jackets for my father in law for Christmas, he's out in all weather and locations, he swears by the jacket, keeps him bone dry and he hasn't ripped it yet even though he's constantly going through ditches and places like that. I just picked 1 up for myself, I'll just leave it in the boot of the car as a backup.

TerrorFirmer

Good bargain, thanks, ordered one.

What ber rating would you give it?

Sure that would be Tog

Berty

I'd give it a ber rating of "Jesus, tis grand and warm". A tog rating of a 14.5 I'd say. Happy out with mine.

It's not the most attractive of jackets and wear a tracksuit with it and you might need an asbo but its a good jacket.

Are they cheap knockoffs then, or how does it work - and does it apply to all brands on the site? I bought a karrimor winter jacket from them not so long ago. Thought it was a good deal..but the arms seem a little short and one of the buttons popped within 2 days of wearing. Sending it back would just leave me further out of pocket...

Allyall

The inside of mine just fell apart..

Still a warm jacket though. I might gt it repaired for < €5.

Cant speak for all the jackets, but more than happy with mine, albeit not worn it a whole lot. When I have it has not fallen apart, no strings/threads and really is a warm jacket - more than happy with it , especially for the money and as far as I am concerned I have gotten the usual Cat customer satisfaction. Would suspect that there is a catch though, no way the CAt gear can be this cheap - I would suspect 2nds/slightly imperfect jackets, with some obviously worse than others....just my opinion.

breathn

This jacket is decently warm for sure, but [EDIT] I would expect sturdier quality for anything stamped with CAT.
It arrived with the inside pocket ripped, and within a few days the whole inside of the pocket is in tatters.

Things like how incredibly thin and fragile the pocket material is gives it away, and the very light stitching holding that together.

I notice a few threads coming lose elsewhere on the outside, I hope it holds together because it is nice and warm!

They are legit, but they are 'Outlet' legit.
Be careful trying to tell people on here that Outlet versions aren't nearly as good as in store versions, I tried and it led to my telling them being drowned out, and People taking offense to finding it out.
(Apparently the Kildare Outlet sells 'real' clothes, It's just all the other outlets that sell cráp) :rolleyes:.


As for Karrimor, mentioned above, they (Along with Donnay, Slazenger, Dunlop, Everlast, Kangol and Lonsdale) are owned by Sportsdirect, and there shouldn't be a huge difference unless it was one of their more expensive products.. . They all sell on SportsDirect website for the same price, without 'imperfections'.
If buying any of those, just go to the SportsDirect site, MandM seem to be for the discarded stuff.

Elverys may become part of the Sportsdirect group soon.

I returned one way back (ordered immediately after OP ), because zip was fecked. Got a replacement. Still holding together but not CAT quality. Nowhere near. The price is generally a good indicator. You're not going to get a genuine padded CAT hoodie for less than €30 anywhere.

Got jacket yesterday, I echo what others have said no way is it CAT quality or else CAT stuff is gone very poor. Loose threads all over the jacket and the pockets feel very flimsy. Don't think they are knockoff just factory seconds is my guess.
For €29 including postage im fairly happy though, its a very comfortable jacket. I'll be pleased if I get a year out of it.

Got one yesterday,that sums it up perfectly

Just got mine, will do nicely for the price. Bought it to wear standing on cold sidelines Saturdays and Sundays. Like above if I get the rest of the year out of it then its well worth it.

Clareman

I got mine today, for 20 odd yoyos it's brilliant, nice and warm, just throw it in the car for when you're caught needing a jacket.

Got mine today, happy with it. Quality is decent, and its seriously warm.

K.C

Got mine also. For the price I'm delighted with it, very warm. I was glad of it this morning when I was walking the dog.

I got a notice that there was a package in reception for me, normally I wouldn't bother until I'd be going home but I knew what it was and I knew it'd be handy for going to lunch, ooooh how I was glad of it
