Love the Parka in dark olive green (size 16/18) been coveting one of those for a while, throw on over any outfit for an effortlessly cool look. The fabric feels so lovely too, not too matt or too shiny, really good quality (beginning to sound like Goldilocks here!).

I love the clean lines of the Waterproof Commuter. Burgundy/red for preference - all of my coats/jackets are dark colours so I'd really like to add a splash of colour for the darker months

Bez33 · 02/07/2019 19:33

The waterproof commuter in burnt horizon red, what a beautiful colour! I really need to jazz up my wardrobe and this would be perfect, as well as being ideal for daily (rainy) walks with my toddler - would love to look stylish when we’re out and about, not scruffy as usual, and this would make it so easy.

iklboo · 02/07/2019 19:45

The Waterproof Commuter, dark burgundy size 16-18. Ideal for those days when you're not sure what the weather's going to do - and it covers my bum.

BirdIsland · 02/07/2019 19:48

The City Walker in black - versatile and the others would probably be too long for me at barely 5ft!

IndieTara · 02/07/2019 19:51

The Waterproof MAC In Burnt Red.
It's breathable, I'm menopausal and get really hot really quickly! Love the length and style too.

avalanching · 02/07/2019 19:58

I'd go for the waterproof commuter in true black 10-12, I love that it's smart enough for work but casual enough for every day. I struggle to find something that suits both.

Cismyfatarse1 · 02/07/2019 20:03

The waterproof Mac in Navy or Grey. Looks great for my new job on Scotland's East Coast where it can rain, sleet, hail and boil you all in the same day. Also, after years of commuting by car I will finally get to walk / bus and this looks perfect for that. What a great opportunity.

TheClitterati · 02/07/2019 20:04

Waterproof Mac in Night Sky Navy - size 10-12.

I doubt my boobs would fit into their biggest size, but my daughter would love to have the most stylish Mac at high school Grin

stayathomegardener · 02/07/2019 20:04

Why have I never seen this company before!
Ummmm tricky choice so many nice options...
I think I would like the waterproof Parker in olive please; it would coordinate with my wellies and I would look polished and swishy whilst still in reality being a little windswept.

The waterproof parka in olive green is on my wish list! Perfect length and cut, would suit my wardrobe perfectly for popping on for running errands, school run and NT days out.

mazgoli · 02/07/2019 20:11

Love the Waterproof City Walker in Storm Dark Grey, the colour is gorgeous.

RockysMa · 02/07/2019 20:14

I like the look of the Winter Parka (size 10)

And I'd be a whole lot happier than any of those models if I had one Grin

HairyMaclary · 02/07/2019 20:19

I love the commuter in the rose pink. It’s smart enough for work and practical enough for my short cycle!

MitMopse · 02/07/2019 20:21

The waterproof commuter in deep burgundy (10-12) - it looks like it could be the holy grail of a stylish and practical transitional coat!

CambsAlways · 02/07/2019 20:21

I would be ecstatic to win the waterproof Mac in dark storm grey size 12/14 it’s beautiful . I would look forward to going out in the rain then to show it off

FogCutter · 02/07/2019 20:24

What beautiful coats, I'd love any of them, the colours are absolutely beautiful.

My favourite is the waterproof city walker in night sky navy size 16-18 so I could wear it over a jumper.

Chocolonely · 02/07/2019 20:24

What I really like about Protected Species is how they have obviously put a lot of thought into designing coats that are technically functional whilst being extremely stylish. No looking like you are climbing mountains in these waterproof beauties! For me the Waterproof Winter Parka in size 12 is elegance and practicality rolled into one. I love the minimalist style and clean lines. The timeless style would also be perfect for my daily 6 mile walk to work (and drinks after).

Aozora13 · 02/07/2019 20:27

Ohh they are all lovely but I think my fav would be the waterproof commuter in black. It’s really chic but practical, and ideal for staying dry and looking professional from the nursery run to the office. My current look alternates between practical frumpster and mad lady failing to juggle brolly and pushchair...

AsMuchUseAsAMarzipanDildo · 02/07/2019 20:27

Definitely the Rain Bomber in Olive! It looks fierce, trendy and classic all at once. I love the silhouette. It would look perfect whether over a work skirt and ankle boots, a pair of jeans, a summer dress or some wide leg trousers.

MagentaRocks · 02/07/2019 20:28

Waterproof commuter 12-14 in night sky navy. It looks classy and lightweight and like it can be dressed up or down. I would love the colour as a bit different from the black or green I normally end up with.

imnottoofussed · 02/07/2019 20:30

I'd love the waterproof parka in olive green size 12-14. It looks like it will keep me dry when dog walking and I can still wear my beloved jumpers underneath without getting too hot.

pontiouspilates · 02/07/2019 20:31

I'd go for the olive waterproof parka in a 12~14. It's a great combination of practical and stylish. I love the shape

whitershadeofpale · 02/07/2019 20:33

The waterproof commuter in dark olive green would be be perfect jacket for work. Lightweight for public transport, roomy enough to be layered over cardigans or blazers.

It would look good with jeans and trainers at the weekend but smart enough to wear on the way to meetings. Perfect.

Janleverton · 02/07/2019 20:34

The waterproof Mac in storm dark grey. I love the cut of it, amazing lines and it looks so lightweight. Practical and chic. Excellent length and can see it working as well with jeans and boots as with my work clothes. Have a long ilse Jacobsen that I bought about 5 years ago which is generally great but can look too much like a practical waterproof and not enough like a lovely item of clothing in its own right.
