I have given up using the car this year as I try to be more environmentally friendly. I have been coveting a perfect raincoat for the British weather, and adore the look and features of the Ladies Waterproof Parka in a size 16. Owning one of your coats would enable me to keep dry (and stylish) whatever the weather and keep on walking everywhere.

Waterproof Parker in night sky navy in 12-14 for me. Just worn my last waterproof coat out and this would be the perfect replacement!

I'd love the City Walker in dark grey 😍 So practical and stylish, perfect for weekends. I also love it in white but with a child the colour isn't quite as practical as the dark grey!

I would order the Rain Bomber in Night Sky Navy, in size 12. Because DD is going into high school in September and the restrictions on what is acceptable uniform, even down to outer coat is insane. This is the only one I've seen that fits the spec and would see her right through to year 11. The size 12 is to leave room for her jumper and blazer underneath, as she will have to wear both at all times.

I love the waterproof parka in a navy. I’d order a 10-12 and it’d be perfect for the school runs when my son starts in September as I’m trying to only use the car when I need to!

The waterproof parka in olive green (size 16-18) looks beautiful!

I would choose the 'Waterproof City Walker' in Black. It's the perfect colour and style to go with both smart and casual outfits. I love the shorter length of this jacket which is easier to wear with long dresses while most traditional waterproof coats don't work with dresses this one definitely would!

Tomorrow ! Fingers crossed . Whoever wins will be very happy ( and very dry !)

I would choose the Waterproof Parka in black. I walk my dogs rain or shine and this would be fabulous for wet dog walks.

Waterproof parka in cobblestone grey size 16-18 pretty pretty please!

Dark olive green waterproof parka in 16-18

The Waterproof MAC in storm dark grey (16-18). It easily covers my bum, would go with anything and has a hood so no annoying umbrella juggling.

I'd give my right arm for a Waterproof Mac. I'd get it in Storm Grey.

I'd love to win the parker! It would be fab for the nursery runs and rainy autumn days at the park chasing my toddler!

Waterproof Commuter in True Black size 16-18. Love its clean lines and stylish concealed zip. I'd even wear it out for an evening with trousers or a jumpsuit. Pushing the sleeves up would add to it's look and dare a say give it a little french chic 😉

Afternoon all,

Thankyou to everyone who's taken the time to enter, and a massive congratulations to our lucky winner @Isthisafreename, who wins a Protected Species coat of choice

Congratulations to the winner!
So glad I waited, I thought to myself that I wouldn't win anyway so I should just buy the jacket full price after getting caught in the rain last week... And was about to take the plunge discount or not (but really... I wanted a.discount haha),. Just ordered two sizes of the Mac in navy!

Congrats to the winner!

I’ve just tried to order a coat but the site says coupon usage limit has been reached. It’s only an hour and a half since the code was posted - has everyone on this thread already ordered a coat?!

Me too, I can’t get the code to work and o really really want one!

I couldn't order either

@VeThings @Lottie7777 @RustyBear oh no! Thanks so much for letting us know - not sure what's going on here, we'll have a chat with Protected Species and see if we can get it sorted.

It's working now - thanks HannahG!

@RustyBear great stuff! I just popped on to say it should be working now, do let me know if there are any further problems though

Waterproof Mac in storm grey worm open belt tied behind with skinny black jeans and black tee. Not sure about footwear depends on weather and occasion. Trainers? Converse? Ankle boots?

My City Walker has just arrived - I only ordered it on Tuesday evening! It's really lovely, beautiful colour (Burnt Horizon Red) looks and feels good on.
