Protected Species waterproof jackets-what's the sizing like?

Hi I've had my eye on the parka for a while and I'm going to take advantage of the MN offer but wondered what the sizing is like. I'm a size 8-10 but they are available in size 6-8 or 10-12. Thanks

I’ve not tried the parka so not sure how helpful this will be but I sent for the raincoat last year (returned cos of the colour) and my usual size was a close fit - it didn’t allow much room for layering.

I'm a standard 12 and have the 10-12 which fits me well and has room for layering underneath

I'd tried on the 6-8 and actually it still fit albeit it was a neater fit - I think you'd be fine in that. They do free returns so you could try both?

It's a beautiful jacket, can't believe this discount! Tempted to order a city walker...

Hi everyone - just in case anyone else is wondering, the 40% off code is MUMS40, and you can take a look at some of the Protected Species coats here.

Thanks everyone. Brilliant offer isn't it?

How long is the offer on for? I'm dithering whether to order the burnt horizon red, but I'm in Australia so no free returns!

Hi @Ohthepressure, the offer ends on the 12th of August (12/08/2018)

Hmm those are very stylish. They don’t look very thick/warm though. I wonder if they are up to proper winter weather.

MadMaryBoddington · 02/08/2018 12:51

Ah I see it says lightweight fabric offers ‘layering’ opportunities for all year round wear. So not a winter coat then, unless you put a fleece underneath. That’s a shame. I’ve been looking for a stylish winter parka for so very long.

Woo hoo - 122 quid delivered to Australia, and free returns via Paypal. Fingers crossed it wont be going back (and also that it escape the new Aussie import duty...).
