Are Seasalt coats worth the money?

[LushyMcLushFace]

I see Seasalt coats a lot on here. I need a new decent waterproof coat but it just seems a lot to spend on a coat. Are they worth the money?

Yes

I think so (and I live somewhere very wet 😁).

Yes, I bought a waterproof coat from Seasalt and it really is waterproof even in the heaviest downpour.

Yes. I just bought a Janelle coat from Seasalt and it is brilliant. It's warm but not too hot and it breathes, it's completely waterproof and it looks good.

I bought one but didn't think to check the hood size. It didn't rain for a while, and when it did, I found the hood too small. I do tend to wear my hair up, but still think it should have been big enough to accommodate that, with an adjuster buckle or something.

I had mainly bought it for wet weather, so sold it on Ebay.

Yes. I live in Cumbria, which should tell you all you need to know about the efficacy of the coats!

Yes, I was only this morning thinking what a great purchase mine was!

No, soaked through in first heavy rainfall. It looks so much nicer than other raincoats though, which was so disappointing!

I have a coverack coat

Mine is about to see me through my 6th winter, I work with reception children so am outside in all weathers. When it’s really cold I just wear extra layers, always stay dry.

They are worth the price.

My mum has one and loves it.

Worth every penny.
Also a Reception teacher and out in all weathers. My Seasalt coat keeps me absolutely dry. 3 years on, I'm still shocked when I take it off after a heavy downpour and I'm dry. I've just bought another one in a different colour and length to go with other outfits.

They’re lovely, warm and dry.

The hoods can be a bit small though - I do have a big head to be fair (have to wear men’s hats), but worth checking the fit.

They last well so would be fine secondhand, there’s always some on eBay.

I bought a Janelle coat last year, I've worn it all winter and summer as it's roomy enough for a jumper but light enough for a spring/autumn day without. It's great. In the heavy rain last week the water was literally running off it into my boots but I was Absolutely bone dry underneath. And it's windproof.

YES YES YES

Yes. I currently alternate between the Seafolly light raincoat and Spinnaker lined waterproof coat. I like the Spinnaker as it has an additional flap on the hood that gives extra coverage in heavy rain. As well as it being windproof and comfortable.

Yes.

Tested my new Plant Hunter during a week of walking on the very wet Suffolk East Coast two weeks ago and again today walking into Town.

Looks wise it worked for both and left me toasty warm and dry.

I even got a compliment on it from my teenage Grandaughter yesterday.

Worth every pound I reckon !!

Definitely. I have a plant hunter and a jacket whose name escapes me. Both are totally waterproof, and the plant hunter is toasty warm all winter. Would definitely buy from them again.

So, blue or green?

Green. Everybody and their dog already have the blue one, I’d get green just to be a bit different.

They are quite often on sale near me (mine was half price) so depending on how urgently you need one you might want to keep an eye on it for a bit.

Yes, a good coat that actually does what a coat should do is quite literally life changing

I have a Janelle. Pretty waterproof in my view. Great length too. Reaches my wellies so I’m dry!
