Customer review: "I settled on this jacket after much deliberation! Great features are zipped pockets, one inside for keys and phone, the hood has poppers and toggles to tighten around your face in high winds, and it is windproof (tested at 50+ mph)! Length is below hip with adjustable toggle. Colour aubergine is gorgeous, velcro around wrists, hood stores away, and it’s very comfy to wear. I am 5ft 9in size 10-12 and sent the 12 back for a size 14, which fits lovely with a base layer and fleece underneath. I’m looking forward to many years of wear, well worth paying that little bit extra and would highly recommend :-)"

It's warm and insulated as well as waterproof, so you'll be ready for whatever the weather chucks at you.

Customer review: "Great dog walking coat. I needed to replace a very old worn waterproof coat and this one is perfect! The collar and hood work well together to keep you dry on wet blustery days, and I like the length of the coat. I'm only 5' tall so it's longer on me than the models but doesn't look too long.
I think the best bit has to be the pockets. There are loads! Perfect for dog treats, poop bags, phone, tissues, cough sweets, gloves etc."
