Outback Oilskin Duster
By yondan20
I own the model 2052, which is better (has more features) than the model 2042, the current model. It is very well-made and extremely water repellent. The coat sizes tend to be oversized (I normally wear a man's XL but take only a size L in this product.) The coat is long (comes down to the ankles, which is very long for a man's coat) so it will keep you dry. It has overlapping flaps in the front to keep out the rain and wind and buttons almost all the way down to keep you dry when walking in the rain. I do have 2 gripes with the product. First, because of the design, it does not button all the way down in front in one continuous piece. At about the knee, the flap changes, probably to facilitate riding or walking in the rain, although you can button it below this. As a result of eh flap change, it does not overlap. Therefore, if you are sitting in the rain, the water will get between your legs. Second, the hood is kept in place on the back by straps that go under the armpits. As a result, if you want to put up the hood, you basically have to take off the coat and move the sleeves, and then put the coat back on. This is not a problem if you do it before going out. However, if it starts to rain while you are outside, and you then want to put up the hood, taking the coat off in the rain can be an inconvenience. Otherwise, it's highly recommended.

By Sheldon
I just got a model 2042, which is the long duster. I bought the coat locally and paid considerably more than Amazon's price, but was able to try it on. So, I can say these coats are true to size, a medium is a medium with enough room to wear something underneath, like a fleece or a suit. I've been wearing the coat with a fleece jacket underneath and it's perfect for temps in the 20's. It's very comfortable and the lining makes it even more comfortable without the fleece.The coat is truly designed for riding, as it will drape easily over a horse and has straps so when you throw your leg over the horse your coat goes with it, but you don't need to use the straps for daily wear. The cape is detachable making for a very handsome coat when it's not raining or snowing. It has very practical pockets with handwarmer pockets as well -- nice touch.I should say that I started with black, brought it home and my girlfriend said I looked like I was going to shoot up the local mall. Well, she's right. The black does look a little sinister and Matrix-like, so I traded it in for the brown which looks a little more western, which is what I was going for.Now for the bad news: My coat is still a bit "sticky" (hence the 4 stars) so I emailed Outback about this. They said to hang the coat in a warm place and wear it to allow the oils to work their way into the fabric. I've heard from others this should do it and the "sticky" does go away, so I'm looking forward to the coat having more of a dry feel to it. BTW, Outback's customer service is excellent.For the money this is a great, practical coat and I'm looking forward to wearing it in the snow. Finally, no more snow stuck all over my jeans, something different to wear in the rain and something more handsome than the ubiquitous Gortex and down you see everyday in this ski town.
