Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products for their excellent quality, highlighting their waterproof and windproof capabilities, and often noting their lightweight and packable design. Many appreciate the true-to-size fit and the comfort provided, even when worn over other layers. The ordering process is frequently described as easy, and the delivery service is often commended for its speed and reliability. However, some customers were not happy with the durability of certain items, reporting issues like drawstrings snapping or jackets tearing under the armpits after a short period of use. A few people also mentioned that their jackets did not remain waterproof in moderate rain, leading to dissatisfaction. Additionally, some reviewers experienced issues with sizing, finding items either too large or too small, and a small number noted problems with missing storage sacs or faulty zippers.

Absolutely gutted

Absolutely gutted, the poncho I bought about 2 years ago and I have never washed it and only worn a few times isn’t waterproof. Maybe a very light shower but the hood isn’t a waterproof at all.
Considering the cost, I am really disappointed.

Hi Dawny.

Thanks for your feedback.

Our ponchos are highly waterproof, so this is concerning. Can you please contact me at help@macinsac.com, letting me know when and where this was purchased.

Kind regards,
Claire

Hi Kely.

Thanks for your feedback.

Our spare sacs are only intended for our own products, I am afraid.

Kind regards,

Good I'm pleased

A good well made light weight jacket and the reversible is a good idea too,probably not good if it was really cold but it's not made for that purpose but going on a country walk it is fine.

Good enough for UK weather

Timely delivery. Not long enough in length to cover the legs beyond knees. And full hands would have been better as well. Otherwise good and should be enough for UK weather

Kept me dry on the outside

Kept me dry on the outside, very good for that but found breathability on the inside was awful. My arms were really wet,had to take it off and turn it inside out to dry it.

Hi Paul.

Thanks for your feedback.

The Origin is breathable to 8,000 gsm which is usually enough for most general uses. Something like our Ultralite jacket is designed for those occasions when breathability is key and is breathable up to 16,000 gsm. If you wish to discuss this further or need any further help, pleasse contact me at help@macinsac.com.

Kind regards,
Claire
