What size would you normally be in jackets?
Superdry are REALLY small in my experience. Its like me putting a girls jacket on, I literally cant move in any of their medium-large jackets. Its gotta be like XXL or something to fit me.

They certainly do not. I managed to get a coat for free from their online store some 3 years or so ago as they cocked up delivery and offered to refund me and I could keep it. I stopped wearing it a year later though and passed it on to a sibling, it's still in excellent condition.
Their heavy coats/jackets are warm and cozy and if you buy from a factory store they're cheaper still. that jacket in Op is around £69 here.
Only problem you might find is that they're worn by everyone, most especially the folks who tend to plaster themselves with Lacoste and Fred Perry and a lot of the styles are rather out there :/
For windproofing check out North Face/Musto and other outlets like them that specialise in wind cutting outerwear. They will usually cost more than the £89 of that SuperDry but they're much lighter but at the same time much better.

It's ironic that the inspiration for the brand (to be like everyone else) is the same mantra as those who wear their gear.
Serious amount of idiots in this thread....bunch of internet virgins wearing mountaineering clothing walking the UK like it's Antarctica.
Proper response OP... Coat is probably good. Generally the only problem I have found with superdry is that they are mega undersized. XL is like a medium. Other that that decent quality.

They vary vastly from coat to coat..
I've got one very similar to this (older model). http://www.superdry.com/products?pr...kzEeXX9vTpeuCU_ka0CE4DaGqvS3cWTGZEaAltN8P8HAQ
It's great at keeping the wind out, very tough material, still looks fairly unworn after 4 years.
Then you get other ones which you'd freeze wearing in mild weather
Try a few on, in multiple sizes. Due to their tight fit nature, it's worth making sure you get the right size. Wouldn't buy one online personally.

For truth. Many of my gay mates imply that superdry is the choice of the gay man. Deadly serious.
As far as weather proof they're relatively crap. Fashion wise they're worse (IMO ofc).
My M65 jacket with the liner is certainly nice and warm but I agree with Rroff, it's not the most waterproof thing around.
This, I wear a very light soft shell jacket for wind and waterproofing, with a fleece underneath if it's Really cold.
I was going to get a Canada Goose because their reputaion for being so warm, the only problem is that they arent waterproof as they are meant for really cold places where its too cold to rain.
I ended up getting a Jack Wolfskin Anchorage
Have you ever thought that people may be outdoors for long periods of times?
As for being a virgin on the internet, nice spec sig!

I'm normally medium or large. I'm going to the shop so I'll just try some on to make sure they're alright.
