Honest opinions: is this coat nice?

[Opalfruitsstrawberry]

For a size 10 woman in her early thirties FWIW, thinking of the Oak colour. I keep going back and forth... I want a stylish warm raincoat - is this as good as it gets?

It is functional. You need a functional coat living here!

It reminds me of hayleys in coronation street. Just in a different colour.

I'm mid 30s and would think it's a bit old for me

I’m early 40’s and ordered this recently. I have returned it for two reasons, the main one being it’s quite shapeless and I am quite short so it didn’t look great.

That's an awful lot of money for an anorak 😬
And I dont like it
I'm early 30s size 12
Try river island, Dorothy Perkins, new look etc. Some lovely trendy stuff and decent quality too

Try Agu clothing, think they're Dutch so know a bit about waterproof clothes.

This is £130.

Perhaps not cool but a bit dressed down, less fuss about it.

Dinner Lady coat! Hayley! Ok you’re putting me off a bit now

I like the Protected Species coat a lot but it’s not warm is it? Not a winter coat... maybe I could layer it up but it looks a bit sleek for that.

Protected species have a winter parka

It’s a coat you might see for sale in a Sunday supplement.

Very mumsy. It's a bit of a given up on life coat. What about a trench coat? Less frumpy.

@LizzieMacQueen. Do Agu do any really warm winter coats or just rain coats?

I'm 31 and wouldn't wear it.

My 62 year old mum has one practically identical to it though

frumpy :(

It's a very practical coat, it will keep you warm and dry. If you are looking for edgy and urban this is possibly not the coat for you.

I really like it but I am quite a lot older than you and now prefer staying dry and warm over being a slave to fashion.

Also, Seasalt are very well made.

It's practical and if you like it then get it. It doesn't matter how old you are though! I would not wear it myself!

I think it's nice.

it's lovely but eye watering expensive.

Noooooo! I have a very very similar one that Joules released a couple of years ago in the yellow colour. It’s lounging at the back of the wardrobe as I always feel like a fisherman in it.

I suppose you could go wild and have more than one coat ? I don't personally own any, but I find them cumbersome and too hot 362 days of the year !

It looks warm and practical, but I think you could get something very similar for a third of the price. I wouldn't pay £150 for it!

I like it

@Paddingtonthebear They say they have warm layers. I've ordered this one, expecting it tomorrow, so I'll report back.

I also tried a seasalt one but sent it back, something about the waist bothered me, too loose so this belted one might suit me better.
