Silly question: Are these worth the money?

12 comments
  1. Seen these on a popular shopping app. They cost about €30 or so. Just wondering if anyone has picked one up, and would you recommend it or avoid it?

    Thanks for the help

  2. I personally have one, usually use it when it’s chilly outside but too warm for a full coat. Would wear a warm jumper or thick hoodie under it, always wear it when I’m gardening as it allows free movement of my arms but prevents wind on my back.

  3. It looks like the brand portwest. I bought a jacket. It fits very well and is very comfortable. But the heating stopped after wearing it 5 or 6 times. Portwest would do nothing to help. I went back to the Co op where I bought they gave me a new battery but that didn’t work. Told me to contact portwest. But Portwest would do nothing to help. Said if I had a problem take it up where I purchased the jacket. So if you do buy one I have two good batteries that are no good to me

  4. Yes they are. I like to wear one walking up and down O’Connell Street with my hands in the pockets. I make eye contact with everyone so they know not to cross me when I wear it. Then after a long day of acting the big man, I hang it up on my coat rack and sit down in my slippers and watch Fair City with a nice cup of tea before I go to bed and wake up to do it all over again.
