Winter parka, I haven't found the perfect winter coat and it looks this could be it! Warm, waterproof and stylish, what else do you need!

I'd love the Waterproof Commuter coat - burnt horizon sixe UK12-14. What a beautiful coat with a stunning colour.

Waterproof Parka 16-18 in either shade of grey. Love the style! I work in Leeds, where it rains a lot! I’d like to arrive at work dry, and not looking like I am about to go and climb a mountain

Waterproof Parka for me, stylish and practical.

Would love the waterproof winter parka (if it comes back in stock) in a size 14. It would go with everything my wardrobe and I'm a big fan of its clean, fluid, paired down design. Tres chic!

Waterproof Commuter is super stylish, and would work for work and play:-)

I’d like the waterproof Parker in black 10-12, I’m moving imminently to a country where I’ll be cycling every day and where the weather is also often rainy, so it would be really useful! Plus it’s my birthday next week 🥳

The waterproof commuter in black would be perfect for me!
I wear smart business dress to work, but I have a long commute and have to walk part of the way. Having a coat keeping me dry and comfortable while still looking smart would be a real plus!

The Waterproof Parka in Storm Grey. When I rule the World umbrellas will be banned, and thus hoods a necessity (and people will have evolved indicators so they can't suddenly turn in front of you in supermarkets, busy pavements etc but that's a different thread . . .). The colour means when my children want me for the nth time for no real reason I can stand outside and magically blend into this season's grey and torrid summer sky thus achieving a blessed five minutes peace.

Plus it would be a coat that I haven't actually stolen borrowed from 14yo DS. And I don't think he'd dare borrow from me.

I love the length and cut of the waterproof commuter. It’s so difficult to find a coat that’s practical as well as stylish but this looks like it would be both. (So many waterproof coats don’t have hoods!) I really like the deep burgundy colour too, I’ve not seen a waterproof coat in this colour.

They are all so nice! I think my favourite is the Waterproof Commuter in Dark Olive Green, size 12-14.

I love the Winter Parka too, so hopefully they’ll bring it back for this A/W.

The Waterproof Mac is my choice In Sandstone Fawn. Waterproof because it rains rather a lot in the UK and it would be easy to pack for travel, and Sandstone Fawn to bring a touch of brightness into a dull wet day.

I'm lusting after the Mac in Storm Grey (size 10-12) - I bought my mum the Commuter in Cobblestone Grey for her 60th and I keep find any excuse to swish around in it! She keeps walking in on me wearing it and staring in the mirror, and it's getting a bit awkward now! It would be perfect to cycle to work in - I have this mint green Dutch bike and it would just look spot on.

The waterproof city walket in atmosphere white. Looks lovely and crisp.

I'd go for the Waterproof Parka in Sandstone Fawn in a 10-12. I've been in need of something just like that for the school run.

I’d choose the Waterproof Parka in Cityscape Blue. I love the cool toned colour combined with the minimalist, but enough detail to be interesting, design.

In my head I’d look like a cool mum striding through the rain, vs drowned maternal rat on the school run, doing an Andi McDowell in Four Weddings impression (‘is it raining? I hadn’t noticed’) 😀

Anyway, I’d love it!

Waterproof commuter in dark olive green to keep me stylish and dry on my commute. Please.

Ooh not seen these before. Look lovely.

I’d go for the commuter in navy or olive green. I’d like to say 12/14 but think I’d better say 16/18. Any chance of a 14/16!

Waterproof parka, dark olive green 16-18
It looks a great length to keep most of the body dry. I hate carrying umbrellas so prefer longer length waterproofs, and I love the neck design.
The dark olive green seems really versatile, I think it would be a year-round colour, and would look great with jeans.

Waterproof Parka in black (12-14). Roomy enough to fit a few cosy layers under, versatile enough to take me between town and country, watertight enough to take me through the four seasons-in-one-day temperamental Scottish weather and bonnie enough to go with most of my clothes!

I'd go for the Winter parka. Longer length to keep my backside warm

Waaaaah! No plus sizes! Because that water proof bomber looks like just what I need for my commute when it's raining!

What a great competition... But don't pick me, because none of them will fit!

The winter waterproof parka - looks a great length & perfect for winter days 👌

Waterproof commuter in cobblestone grey (10/12). Manages to look stylish whilst still practical. Would be a great colour for the rain bomber as well.

How can I have not known about this brand before. I would choose the Waterproof winter parka. It would be so useful in the cold wet winter months.
