- Harrier Exmoor Waterproof Jacket - full in-depth review. It's not the first time the Harrier Trail Running brand has appeared on the channel. In 2020 we reviewed one of their ultra bundles by running across the Cornish county 38 miles on the Smugglers Way. I was really impressed with the kit we tested, especially when you consider the great value price point. So when Harrier contacted the channel and asked if we'd like to test out their new Exmoor waterproof running jacket that was going to retail at under £90 here in the UK, I jumped at the chance! Check out the review to see how this great value running jacket performed!

Another good honest review love harrier stuff great value for money sure I'll be getting this
Thanks Martin, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I couldn't agree more, brilliant value for money! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel its appreciated 🙏😊
Yes, comfort around the neckline is important. Great video. Thanks!
No worries Jim, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've had jackets in the past where the zip digs in under my chin and causes lots of problems. Definitely not the case the Exmoor Jacket, nice and soft under the chin. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Great review, Loyd! I’ve been quite intrigued by so many features at this price point. 🙌🏻
Thanks Ryan I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's amazingly good value for the price point 😊
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏
Really useful and enthusiastic review!
Thanks.
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
Great review Loyd. I’m liking the look of that jacket.
Cheers Dave glad you enjoyed it 😊
The Exmoor Jacket is packed full of features at a brilliant price!
Thanks for the support mate 🙏
Nice to see such a budget friendly piece of outerwear with impressive specs like this. Thanks for putting Harrier on my radar! I agree on losing a few zippers.
It sure is Greg, awesome well thought out running kit at an affordable price 👍
No worries I'm glad we helped you discover the brand and thanks for supporting the channel its appreciated 🙏😊
Nice one Lloyd, this is going on my Christmas list for sure.
Awesome mate, I hope Santa brings you what you want for Christmas! 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏
Just ordered mine on Friday … arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the reviews 👍
Awesome Chris, hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
I'm definitely pre ordering! 🙌
Nice one, hope you enjoy your jacket! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
I love it! Thanks to promote this brand Lloyd. In Italy it's almost unknown. I think I'll go for it! Greetings and big up from Sicily🔝👏
No problem at all 😊
I'm glad we've highlighted a new running brand that you hadn't heard of. I hope your running is going well in Italy and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Is going great thanks, I hope and wish u the same. On Sunday We've got a trail race of 26k up on Mount Etna and I'm looking forward for it. It's a stunning beauty up there Lloyd I assure you! You should come and visit us one day, you'll be the most welcome!! 💪😎🌋🔝
Spot on. Finger poised for the pre-orders
Awesome Marc, hope you enjoy your Exmoor Jacket 😊
Thanks for watching 🙏
I love how many pockets this jacket has. Works for the consumer offering an affordable highly versatile jacket for training and racing mandatory kit. MAYBE they could remove the two side zips and leave them as open pockets that can be used for food (stuff you don’t mind dropping out) or keeping your hands warm. (No athlete 100% run’s ultras so hand warming pockets are cool for when we’ve slowed down or stopped)
🇨🇦Good review once again.
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel as always its appreciated 🙏
I love mine. It served me well in some torrential rain we had in California in January. The one thing I would change is an extra snap at the top. The one in the middle is nice, but the top of the jacket still flaps around a bit. I like the side pockets for stowing my gloves. And when the jacked is rolled into a waist wrap, those two side pockets are also accessible.
One bit of sizing advice, if you're between sizes, use the length size more than the girth, because that dimension matters more.
Another good review, thanks. Personally think this jacket isn’t targeted at the race day scenario but perfect for the autumn winter early spring Uk weather training days. Price point is amazing value
It’s definitely a great value waterproof jacket Stuart. I personally think it makes more sense to buy one jacket that’ll do both jobs, run autumn, winter and spring but still pack down small enough for your race vest 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏
Great looking jacket. I agree about t he zips. I do use Harrie r kit and I'm a big fan.
The Exmoor Jacket is pretty impressive for the price point
Roland 👌
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Great review Loyd. I'm loving these British brands in the trail scene and the prices from Harrier make them easy to support.
Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed the review. I totally agree, it's great seeing these British brands coming through and Harriers kit is such good value 😊
Thanks for watching and supporting as always 🙏
Just about to pre-order mine, I think the side pockets are a good idea, I will be using this jacket for walking and day trips with the family so pockets are a must, standing freezing while volunteering at Jr parkrun.... need somewhere to stuff flapjack and snacks 🤣
Awesome Chris, really hope you enjoy it. I totally agree with pockets on a waterproof jacket you're going to wear for walking. I just don't think they are needed if you're running in the jacket 😊
The jacket will be perfect for what you are going to use it for and thanks for watching 🙏
I use a dry bag to store my waterproof jacket then put it in my vest and I have a vent on the bag to expel the air that can reduce the size considerably so this jacket is absolutely going to be purchased along with the new 10 litre vest I love the red and black colour. Great video as always 👍🏻
I do exactly the same Kevin and put all of my mandatory kit in a dry bag and pack it down nice and tight. However I don't tend to put my waterproof jacket in there because I want it to hand so I can grab it out easily if it starts to rain 👍
The new 10L Kinder is a great race vest for the money, you'd struggle to find a better one for that price point. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Jacket looks amazing just wondering how much of the new kinder it takes up? As was hoping to pick up the dartmoor along with the curbar but nt sure be big enough...
@@craiglaird85
Its a great jacket for the money Craig. If you packed it into the 5L Curbar it wouldn't leave you a lot of space for anything else. I personally think the Kinder 10L is a more versatile option. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏😊
Great review Loyd, some fantastic features on this waterproof! BTW Real men wear pink!
Thanks Bridget 😊
Really glad you enjoyed the video. It's such a great value waterproof jacket with some fab features. I hope you and Roger are both well and we can catch up at some point.
Totally agree with the pink comment 😉
A great costumer support, Argentina was not available for delivery and they just enabled it. Waiting to receive it now.
This seems like a great everyday running jacket to run in them wet days. Harrier seem like a great brand. I'm in need of a new backpack. I think I will give them a try.
You should definitely give Harrier a try Mikey. Really well thought out trail running kit at great value prices! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Thanks Mikey :)
You mentioned the position of the side vents in the beginning of the video but forgot to address it in the section about possible improvements. Appreciate the content. Keep up the good work 👍
Hi Stig
I just feel the pit zips should be more under the arm pits of the jacket to get the most benefit? 🤔
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thanks loyd, I'll have a chat with supplier about this and also see how feedback on the first batch goes 👍
Good looking jacket. I agree it could probably lose some pockets, and is a touch heavy, but from what they've said they were going for functionality over minimalist weight and didn't want something that "just met mandatory kit requirements". For the price it's hard to argue with. 👍
I totally agree Stu, the last thing I want is a waterproof jacket that just ticks a mandatory box! I want my jacket to actually offer me protection from the elements for long periods of time, which the Exmoor Jacket does. So by taking a few pockets off that saves a lot of weight, pockets are heavy and how often do you run with stuff in your pockets? I think a big part of functionality of our waterproof jackets is also the weight and packabilty 👍😊
Great video and perfect timing!!! Looking to get my first waterproof running jacket and this looks AWESOME!!! Does Harrier ship to the United States and also how is the wind proofing on the jacket? 🤔 Thanks for a great video!!!
Really glad you enjoyed the video. You have to check on the Harrier website about shipping?
It's a great jacket for the money and wind proofing is good 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
First 👍..i love your Pink Run4Adventure sweater lol 👏👏👏🤣🇫🇷
Thanks, I'm glad you like the sweater! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏😊
I'm getting one of these, waiting for the pre order to open
Awesome Sean, it's a great value jacket! Thanks for supporting the channel as always. Hope you are fit and well 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure all fit and well here, the jacket will be in the runbus for the arc for when it gets chilly 😀 good to see you out and about with no calf issues bud. 🤙🏃♂️
Great review! I was trying to get the HOKA goretex jacket for the chest zips for access to my race vest flasks. But they are always out of stock and they are over $300 CAD. Even with shipping from the UK to Canada this jacket under half the cost, with similar features. Should hopefully stop my flasks from freezing on me during my winter marathon training block. LOL
The Gore-Tex jacket from Hoka is a nice waterproof but Hokas stock at the moment is pretty shocking 👍
The Exmoor is definitely a great value jacket and I'm sure it'll help stop your bottles freezing! 🥶
Luckly in the UK I don't have to deal with things like that. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Just finished submitting my pre-order. Hopefully it arrives for the beginning of my winter marathon block on Jan 3rd 2022.
Thanks again for the content!
@@timtrenholm3698 Awesome Tim, I Hope you enjoy it and best of luck with your training 👍😊
@@Run4Adventure Got my jacket today, due to some supply chain and Canada Customs delays. Very impressed now that I have the item in hand, suits my needs exactly!
@@timtrenholm3698
That's great to hear Tim 😊
Yet another very good review, Loyd! Many thanks. I have quite a few goodies from Harrier, but i am sorry to say that they do not deliever to germany anymore since the Brexit: they had too many problems with delivery... But fortuneatly my brother lives in Halifaz and i will have my next order delivered there.
You showed that is was possible to wear a pack under the jacket: if i wanted to do this, must i size-up for this? Appreciate all your input and hard work! Regards, Colin
Thanks Colin, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's a real shame that they can't deliver to Europe at the moment because of Brexit! Hopefully this will be sorted out in the future. I'd check the sizing chart on the Harrier website but I was wearing a medium in the video and it fitted well. The whole point of the pleats in the back of the jacket are to allow you to wear it over your race vest without having to go up on size. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure many manu thanks for you reply! to be honest, i somehow missed the part in your review about the pleats! i will pre-order a jacket on the 26.11.21
yes it is a shame that they do not deliver to germany/europe, although on their web site, was to read that they are hopefull to have a solution soon, perhaps in 2022.
stay healthy and keep on running...
regards, colin
@@colinhuntley9729 yes the pleats are there so you don't have to size up. Customs and export charges are no better I'm afraid so we don't have a solution for EU that is close I'm afraid.
Great priced jacket brilliant thorough review Lloyd one thing I'd like to ask did you find condensation build up inside the jacket at any point during testing (I know it can vary depending on how hard you work your body) as I hate that damp feeling inside the jacket that leads to coldness that I get from my other jackets.
I didn't find it to bad Michael. The material is quite heavy and it's not as breathable as some of my much more expensive jackets but I think the pit zips help to give it a bit more ventilation 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
It looks like it would suit the trail runner better with all them pockets, my omm kamlieka is needing replacing, so I'll have a go at one of these
Looks like a seriously good jacket, particularly for the price! I first heard of Harrier because of your channel, and I'm hoping that one day, they'll offer the products here in the US. Great video and content my friend! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Thanks Chad that's very kind 👍
It's a great jacket for the price point and I'm sure Harrier will eventually be available world wide 😊
Hope you're fit and well and thanks for watching 🙏
They are available in the US. We have all international shipping info on our delivery page.
Great review again Lloyd. How would you size the jacket I’d normally buy medium then not sure it would fit over a pack? I really don’t like running with a poorly fitted jacket flapping around in the wind.
You're best to measure chest size with a tape measure and check against our size charts :)
Hi Andrew
I was wearing a medium in the video and I tend to always run my jackets in a medium. Like Kate said it's probably best to check out the sizing chart to get the best idea 👍
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel its appreciated 🙏
Pre-ordered :)
Nice one Dave 😊
Hope you enjoy your new jacket once it arrives 👍
How does it compare to the ronhill gore-tex shaekdry jacket in terms of breathability and performance?
It's hard to compare the two jackets Bilal when one of costs £89 and the other one costs £235! I think that would be a bit unfair. Its like comparing a VW Golf against a Porsche 911 turbo. They're both cars made by the same company but I know which one I'd prefer to have 😉
Iam in the market for a new waterproof jacket. Seriously considering this jacket. Only just found the harrier brand and now I want the kinder 10l race vest as that looks awesome.
Harrier make some great value trail running kit, it's definitely worth a closer look 👍😊
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great review Loyd. The double zips on the front put me off this jacket, I just can’t bear jackets bouncing or rubbing under my chin. Great you explained they are for accessing the hydration so I get it, but definitely wouldn’t work for me
Sorry to hear that dan but appreciate your feedback! Kate :)
@@harrier_trail_running It’s a great jacket Kate, love what you are doing with your kit.
Cheers Dean, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Having the two zips on the front actually make the collar of the jacket super comfortable. Because the zips are both set off to the side it means there's not a zip under your chin, which I actually liked 😊
Thanks for watching and supporting as always mate 🙏
Just got my Exmoor today. I was a bit concerned about how I'd get on with the double zip, but the material is extremely soft and just feels like wearing a Buff when done up fully. With the hood up I was thinking “Hmmm, not sure”, but after adjusting it for fit it feels great. I have to say the hood design is excellent, and it's probably the only soft peak running hood I've used that doesn't need a peaked cap under it to stop it flopping about (mentioning no names, Salomon)Yet to try the jacket out for real but first impressions are really good.
@@jacklurcher5813 That's great to here Jack. You are right about the neck of the jacket feeling very comfortable, that was one of my highlights 👍
Hope you continue to enjoy your Exmoor Jacket and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Bugger I missed this one. Needed a budget jacket so I got a higher state one, which is ok. Would have loved this
We will still be here if you need one in a year or two! :)
@@harrier_trail_running do you ship to Canada? If so, I’d love to get my hands on one and review it on my channel as well.
@@Dogwalkerdave I don't have any samples available sorry, loyd had one and its back with me now for photography
Never mind Scott. Next time you're in the market for a waterproof jacket you know where to go 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Great review Lloyd, thanks. I note you didn't really talk about the breathability at all due to it's price point. The price is a valid point of difference, and this jacket does represent awesome value for money BUT that breathability rating is very low, I suspect you would get pretty hot n sweaty in it. I am not knocking it in the slightest, just pointing out that out.
The breathability was actually pretty good in the Exmoor, I think having the addition of pit zips helped. Don't get me wrong I've run in jackets that are a lot more breathable but it performs well considering the price point. Like you said it's had to get a high level of breathability at this price. You tend to find the waterproof jackets with those high breathability ratings are also pretty expensive so it definitely comes at a price! 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Great review! Can you stove the hood away?
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video 👍
You can't stove the hood away on the Exmoor Jacket unfortunately. It's actually a feature that you don't see on many running specific waterproof jackets anymore? 🤔
Thanks for watching 🙏
Why can’t I find these jackets in Australia?
Hi Lloyd. What size jacket were you wearing in this review?
I was wearing a medium 👍
Off topic….but is Salomon adv skin 12 set still your fave vest? In the market after years with Ultimate Direction. Also considering the inov 8 ultra pro 2 in 1. Your opinion greatly appreciated 👍
I would have to say so Wes 👍
I've never run in the 2 in 1 Inov-8 vest but I did recently review their Race Ultra 5 vest and was really impressed with it 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Thanks Loyd, love the channel, always a pleasure to watch. The inov-8 5 version is pretty much the 2 in 1 just without the 10 litre attachment.
@@wesarnold2408
I thought it was. It's a really well thought out running vest 👌
Thanks for the kind words and it's great you're enjoying the channel 😁
I may have missed it in the review but what size is the jacket and how tall / wide is Lloyd please?
Hi Steve
I was wearing a medium and I'm 6ft 1" and a 38" chest 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
Thanks for selling me on the Harrier Loyd! One thing - how hot and sweaty would it get (on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being a bargain bin bag) on a run on a sunny day with pouring rain? Yup, we have those here in india, 35deg C tropics FTW 😂
No problem, glad you enjoyed the video. If you put any waterproof jacket on in 35deg C you're going to feel very hot and sweaty! 🥵
I personally would never put a jacket on in those temperatures and I think the Harrier jacket would really struggle in those conditions. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure thanks! Actually meant it’s about 35 year round. Rainy days dip to the late 20s, some days lower still. But warmer rainy days than you would have in the UK. Getting into a marathon training block, and would like to stay relatively dry in the rain while I put the long miles in.
@@runsim_run oh ok. The Harrier jacket is designed more for wet, cold British winters. I would suggest having a look at some of the lightweight Raidlight waterproof jackets 👍
@@Run4Adventure excellent, I think they ship to india. Thank you!
I like the idea of it forming its own bum bag….but how well does that work, does it stay put when running?
It does pack down ok but I'm not sure it would work that well while running? Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Hi I love this jacket and it’s price but quick question does the other much lighter jackets you mentioned have ventilation as the Gore 7 doesn’t and I’m just worried for it’s price I might as well ware a black bag as there’s no ventilation and I’m I Oslo Norway ⛈❄️☃️ and I’d like a jacket I can ware both summer and winter. Ps so far I just run for fun no races.
A lot of the lightweight waterproof jackets don't have ventilation, like pit zips etc because it adds weight. I personally think if you want the jacket for winter and summer the Harrier jacket would be to heavy and warm to use in summer, it's definitely a cold weather jacket 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel Doug 🙏
@@Run4Adventure hi thx for your reply. Either way the price is so good it’s still worth it and you know Norway has a green and a white winter 😂
I like the amount of pockets. Why remove them just because someone doesn't like pockets? It seems to be a backwards, less choice option. I use mine for hiking too, so they come in handy, even moreso if my jacket is over my running or hiking pack, so I can now put my gloves etc in the pockets, as I can't get to them easily if my packs underneath.
I've got no issues with pockets on hiking jackets but I'm not sure they're needed on running jackets. I'm not a fan of running with things in the pocket of a jacket, plus I want my running waterproof jacket to be lightweight and packable. Added pockets adds a lot of weight and bulk to a jacket and I never use them. This is just my personal opinion and running kit is a very personal thing, if pockets work for you it's great 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
is 15,000mm not enough to pass mandatory gear check?
15,000mm will pass most mandatory kit checks 👍
Just a small reflective logo is a deal-breaker for me. More reflective detailing is much needed, especially on black. Seems decent though.
It's a great jacket for the money Jonathan 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure you're very welcome and thanks. Just discovered you! Do you have a sunglasses review video? My dhb pair just broke and I need some new ones 😂
@@Jon-hb6gx We sure do Jonathan, there's a few sunglasses videos on the channel 👍
A bit late with the comment but that looks like a great jacket indeed! However I am very vey disappointed that Harrier do not ship to Europe! Seeing the review I was really looking forward to have one... So sad :( I finally went with Janji's Rainrunner 30k/30k vest with an extra 90 EUR
UPDATE: Harrier should be able to export to Europe before XMAS 2021!
It's a real shame that Harrier aren't shipping to Europe at the moment but it's not their fault unfortunately. I'm sure they would love to be able to but with all the madness surrounding Brexit it just isn't possible at the moment! I'm sure this will be addressed in the future. I Hope you're happy with your new jacket Naim and thanks for watching 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure I took contact with them and updated the status, they should be able to start shipping again before the end of this year :). Thank you Loyd! I will still order the Exmoor for my ultra end january 2022 :)
@@naimharb5305
That's good to hear Naim 👍
I found the jacket to be too loose on the arms. It fits perfectly on my body, but the arms are way too baggy.
Same here, I got the medium men's and the arms are massive. I'm going to return it but worried the small would be to small. Also no small in stock at the moment.
Oh that's a shame Peter 🤔
The arms are quite loose on the jacket but it didn't cause me any issues when testing the jacket out.
Hope you get it sorted out and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
I'll be the contrary one, and say I have no issue with the arms, easy to roll up for ventilation and can't say I find them over baggy, as it works well over a thinsulate jacket for really cold wet conditions on the fells.
Too heavy for an ultra? Also, is this 3 layer jacket?
It would be a bit to heavy for me to use in a race, I prefer a lighter jacket. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊
I'm buying this.
It's a great value jacket Jordan 👍
Hope you enjoy yours and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
They do not ship to Europe....how about that...
Unfortunately with all the issues surrounding Brexit Harrier had to stop shipping to Europe. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon and they can then ship again 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
