Since 1994 Deproc Active develop outdoor gear and accessories for people who attach great importance to quality, functionality and sophisticated details. Their goal is to defy wind and weather no matter what purpose. In their head office in Marienberg (Erz Mountains, Saxony, Germany) they are developing and testing their products until series-production readiness. As outdoor specialists they know what matters. Quality and fit and a fair price are in the foreground for them.

Nowadays, even in large sizes no one has to forego sporty functional outdoor- and leasure gear. The materials and the cut don't just have to satisfy the special requirements of the wearing comfort and functionality, but has to also conjure an optical slim curve in order for their customers to feel well doing any leasure- and outdoor activity."

Review: I am very happy with my DEPROC Active NIGEL PEAK Lady Softshell-Jacket. It is a very comfortable to wear summer jacket. In summer it keeps you dry from rain and warm from the wind without getting too warm. Thus, it is very comfortable to wear in warmer temperatures. I especially like that the Jacket has two zipper pockets as I always prefer those. Furthermore, I think the smartly attached reflectors on the sleeves, waistline and back are great. So far I did not own a Softshelljacket and I am very satisfied with the material. It feels very nice, is wind- and water repellent and keeps away dirt very well. Moreover, Rocky's hair virtually not attaches at all on the Softshell material which usually attach to literally everything. This is of course a plus for dog owners. Additionally, I like that the hood is removable. I personally prefer to wear Jackets without a hood, but I like that in an emergancy I can quickly and easily attach the hood. I did have Jackets before whose hood were really difficult to reattach to, but with the NIGEL PEAK the reattachement of the hood is very easy via zipper and two press buttons!
Overall, I am more than happy with my DEPROC Active NIGEL PEAK Lady Softshell-Jacket. Especially for dog owners it is very suitable as it is water- and wind repellent, it is light in weight and not too warm for summer and it offers security in the darkness due to it's reflectors. In Addition dog hair does virtually not at all attach to the Jacket.
Thus, the NIGEL PEAK is at the moment my favourite summer Jacket!

I have chosen the Owney-Ladies Parka "Arnauti" in the colour anthracite-green.

Review: I think the Owney "Arnauti" Ladies Parka is a great long length jacket especially designed for walking a dog. It is great that this jacket is water- adn windproof and due to being long length it keeps you dry at the most important body parts. Furthermore, I especially like all the pockets. I always prefer zipper pockets and this jacket has a lot of zipper pockets whether chest pockets or all the inside pockets.
Moreover, I really like the wide choice of colours. The perfect collar is available for every lady; whether gaudy or simple.
Additionally, I really like that this Jacket comes with a removable treat bag so that treats can be stored in the designated bag rather than making the jacket pocket dirty.
The delivery was super fast and also the email contact was very quick (usually they will reply within 24h).
The only aspect which I was not too happy about is that size S is a merged size of 36 and 38. As I usually wear size 36 this jacket is a bit big for me as it also has to be suitable for ladies wearing size 38. Thus, I advice ladies who wear size 36 to rather get the smaller size (XS / 34). Generally, I think it would be better if the sizes 36 and 38 would be available as seperate sizes. Additionally, I think it would be nice if a drawsting cord would be at waistline so that the waistline could be underlined a bit more.
Overall, I think the Owney "Arnauti" Ladies Parka is a great jacket which contains everything important. It is a great length jacket, has many pockets and protects from wetness. A jacket that does not just look fashionable but is also very functional.
