Review: A good and well made waterproof raincoat. - Regarding the durability. I think this raincoat is very durable. It has not ripped despite some very windy, wet weather! And is completely waterproof. It does the job, which is to keep you dry. I bought one of these to go over a smaller jacket, which is neither waterproof nor windproof. With this on top, I can keep warm, dry and windproof! It's lightweight and can be rolled up quite tightly to fit into the small corner of a suitcase and also has storm proof large pockets with flaps to keep the rain out. And a hood with a cord to keep it on in the winds. A very versatile item for wet weather walking. It won't win any prizes for style, and the zip only goes up from the bottom, it's not two way. But oh, it's so nice to stay dry in wet weather. Plain and simple and excellent for dog walking and so on.
Review: Dry in a monsoon - Ok so the choice is to buy a £90 Dryrobe or this item at about £20. Buy this and save the extra money. I wear this when watching my kids at weekend sports. It can be a miserable business standing in the pouring rain but this rain jacket does a really good job of keeping out all the elements. The jacket keeps out the wind as well so wind chill reduction help keeps you warm. The sleeve cuffs are elasticated internally so that prevents a hurricane going up your sleeves. Best to wear with a baseball cap as the hood has no peak so in very heavy rain some water gets on your face - minor point really. Don’t forget the rain all comes off the jacket so without waterproof trousers your legs will get soaked. Same goes for footwear. Good bit of no nonsense kit. Yeah you could spend the extra dosh on a Dryrobe but no one cares what brand of jacket you’re wearing when it’s absolutely pouring with rain and blowing a gale. Size was about right - still able to get a warm jacket underneath.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value and quality raincoat
*by I***S on 19 November 2025*

Sizing is accurate. I ordered the next size up thinking it may need more room when worn on top of jacket etc., but I could have stayed with usual size as it is rather too big. Not a big issue as it covers very well.
