Only been out once since receiving my Frosty Boy and found it a terrific replacement for multiple layers on a cold Melbourne morning. Over just a long sleeved merino base layer my torso was warm and the high collar kept my neck snug. The sharp wind was blocked out and the jacket looks so much cooler than my mate's. I do have a minor issue with the visibility of the predominantly black back.
This is the first Ground Effect top I have purchased, I have been wearing their knicks for years though When the jacket arrived it looked classy, was beautifully made and appeared to me to be much better than other jerseys and jackets I had purchased over the years The fit was good. I am 88 kilos and 186 tall and purchased a large I have now had the jacket for a couple of months in South Australia where it has been cold. I wear a merino vase layer under the jacket and it has done the job extremely well and it just feels nice to wear The jacket just gets thrown into the wash with other cloths and comes out looking good. The jacket is not the cheapest I have ever purchased but in my opinion is worth every cent and I have no disappointments The service I received was good and postage was relatively quick. If you are reading this review you need a new jacket. Spend the money and get one of these. You will not regret it.
I like the frosty, but I don’t love it - it is very warm, certainly, but a bit bulky - I had an earlier version that didn’t have the same lining and was just as effective. This version is a bit of an overcoat. Obviously designed for NZ winters. Once the temp is over about 10 degrees I have to unzip.
