“Ideal for walking my dog in the rain, I have only used it once in a heavy downpour since I purchased, however, I kept dry unlike other waterproof macs that let in water around the neck and shoulders. The longer length is ideal as well. Good all round weatherproof coat.”
“Positives and negatives for this purchase:
Delivery was delayed despite paying for next day. Please use Royal Mail as they are the only carrier that guarantees delivery to every address.
Coat is a great colour and length, however, the cut and fit are weird. Sleeves are good length but taping is slightly skewed.
For some reason, the coat has volumes of spare fabric in the upper mid back, giving a parachute effect, but is cut very close across the hips and tapers to the hem. I wonder if it is cut from a male pattern not female as that might explain the inverted triangle shape.
It is lightweight and comfortably warm over a t-shirt on warm wet days.
I’m glad I didn’t pay more for it. It would have been very disappointing at a higher price point.”
“First time of ordering from New Forest clothing & really pleased with the coat.
Quality of the coat both of the outer & inner materials is very good.”
“I am 5’2”, size 14 top and 12 bottom and purchased the size 12 and I would say it is a good fit mostly. As others have said the hood is WAY too small. When up, the whole coat lifts and the weight of the coat is on my head. The matching hat works MUCH better. The neck when zipped right up will only fit a thin cowl/buff, not a scarf. It’s comfortable and not too heavy to wear and it’s been tested in a few heavy downpours already. The wrists do have adjustable straps to stop draughts.”
