Sizes seem a lot better and more accurate apart from the CAT trainers order a size less also lethal in icy slippy conditions. The trousers have a pocket which is unknown to most as they are on the left side near your knee the red polo shirts have no pockets the fleeces zips dont last long but the waterproof leggings seems better more lightweight but modelled by someone who is at least 6 1/2 feet so miles too long for average person :nana

Polo's and fleece fit well, true to size. Rain jacket, storm jacket and waterproof leggings are huge! Cats are too big order 1 size down as was previously mentioned.

A long time postie in our DO is jealous that my trouser pocket is on the right and not the left :Very Happy

Order the CAT trainers and be prepared for them to wear out within 8 weeks at best!

I find the coats a very big size, my stormproof and fleece are both huge on me but the trousers seem fine (and yes, mine have the pocket on the right side now :nana ).
