Marks and Spencer has introduced a waterproof jacket that’s perfect for the unpredictable British weather. Their Goodmove Padded Waterproof Hooded Jacket is designed to keep you snug and dry, with a price tag of £99.
It’s available in two classic shades: dark olive and black. Catering for a wide range of sizes, from six to 24, the jacket is notably practical, boasting a neck-to-hem length of 75cm for size 12.
With a zip fastening and being crafted from polyester featuring a polyurethane backing and polyamide lining, it promises warmth and comfort. Plus, it includes a convenient inside zipped phone pocket.
The jacket is easy to care for, being machine washable on a delicate cycle at 40C. Customers have highly rated it, with an impressive 4.9-star average from over 30 reviews, reports Birmingham Live. One satisfied customer enthused: “Absolutely love this jacket. Very warm and very comfortable to wear. Would definitely recommend.”
Another purchaser highlighted its features, saying: “This is a really good jacket – lightweight, warm and waterproof. I love the inside zipped phone pocket and two side pockets, also with zips. I bought it in black but the olive is nice too.” A third shopper found it ideal for everyday use, stating: “I needed a lightweight, waterproof jacket for daily walks, and this fits the bill nicely.”
While they were generally pleased, they mentioned a minor quibble with the collar’s design: “Brilliant jacket! Not too heavy, warm, good hood, good pockets, smart, nice length. The only negative is that the stand up collar on one side persists in standing up and touching my face, which gets a bit irritating at times. The other side is fine. Wearing a scarf helps. But all in all I am delighted with my purchase.”
Marks and Spencer tout their jacket as a triumph of design for any weather, stating: “This padded jacket from our Goodmove collection is crafted to keep you comfy whatever the conditions. It’s made in an easy regular fit with StormwearTM Ultra technology, so this piece gives the ultimate wet weather protection. The zip-through design as well as adjustable cuffs and toggle hood help to keep the draughts out. It has secure fleece-lined pockets and a zipped internal pocket for your valuables.”
For those interested, the jacket can be purchased from M&S here. In the hunt for alternatives, Next offers the stylish Mountain Warehouse Black Women’s Alaskan 3-In-1 Waterproof Long Jacket, priced at £175 and available in black among six colour options.
