Got a force 18 six months ago and was very pleased with its performance, particularly on the ATV. However it developed a slight but irritating leak on the elbow seam. Kiwikit returned the jacket for me for repair. However they have replaced the jacket with the newer model which has ironed out my main criticism of the first jacket which is that it is much lighter and flexible.

Excellent quality, as well as excellent customer service. Had to get a resize urgently and the support team made sure I got my new jacket back in time.

Coat is well made but it is not breathable at all. Any base layers which I have on are wet with sweat. Just an expensive pressure washing coat.

Awesome Jacket!!! Withstands the temperamental conditions that South Otago has on offer! Worn day in day out over the winter months and always warm and dry!
