Kramer Functional Riding Coat reviews?

[Glitter is Fun]

Didn't want to derail the Shires thread.
As title-
Kramer Felix Buhler coats-
Waterproofness?
Robustness?

(Bear in mind I'm a serial zip murderer!)

Many thanks.

I'm a fan. They are robust and waterproof. Make sure you buy at the upper end of the pricing as that is where they use the quality zips etc.

Absolutely brilliant quality, I have this one and have lived in it all winter, it’s my best ever coat!! Definitely recommend!! Very very waterproof and so warm!

Thank you both, that's very useful.

Sizing wise I’d say spot on or a touch bigger, I got the large and I’m a 12/14 usually and it fits fine probably a bit on the larger side but fine with jumpers etc under x

Big Kramer fan here, their stuff fits well, washes well, and lasts well. I've lived in their waterproof over trousers all winter and I've been bone dry under them.

Thank you @Bobthecob15 and @daffy44 , that's good!

Think I need to alert the B.I.L. to expect a package (they don't deliver to my address).

I’m still wearing my Felix buhler coat after 8 years of winter use. It has been very waterproof and just started leaking slightly last winter if I was in torrential rain. It was just under £80 and I call that extremely good value. I bought a Kramer coat to replace it but it leaked on the shoulders, I emailed them and they asked me to return it and sent a replacement which seems waterproof so pretty good service

Thank you for replying.
If you don't mind saying, do you remember which coats you had/have? (I'm just thinking there are signs that the quality varies throughout the range.)

The latest was functional riding coat Zoe , I bought forest green which leaked and then got a different colour just in case it was a fault with those ones and my new one is fine, it’s also very comfortable and warm.. I don’t remember the exact one from 8 years ago but it was a parka and had detachable fur round the hood . They don’t seem to do that one any more ..

That's very interesting, Zoe in forest green is what I started looking at! We must have similar taste.
Noticed last night that the waterproofing rating is higher for one of the others, can't remember which, so not sure what I prefer now!
(Sorry, I'm coat-bewildered at the moment. Been looking at other makes too, over the last couple of days. They are all called such similar, girly names. Got a message back from Millets last night asking me which exact model I enquired about & I'm b£ggered if I can remember!)

Edited, it's "Emily" I'm looking at now!
