Cosy and warm
I haven’t tried this coat in a real prolonged downpour but it kept me dry in a shower. It is warm and roomy to have several winter layers under too. It looks smart enough to wear to work and the hood is big enough to cover all of my head and over the front of my face which helps in windy rainy weather. I like the warm material in the collar and the fact it has a zip and press buttons if I’m in a hurry do I can just do up the press buttons instead of fiddling with a zip. It goes below my knees keeping my skirt dry (I’m 65cm tall) and I went up a size to a 14 so I’d have room to wear lots of thick jumpers and fleece vest etc under it and it’s perfect!
