Any Sweaty Betty Technical Longline Parka owners?

Wondering if anyone can answer my question!

I love this coat, so waterproof and such a good, flattering shape! But I've lost weight so I bought a size down (new with tags) on Vinted.

They're different, does anyone know if the style has changed? My old one had four pockets which was really useful, and a detachable hood. New one's hood is fixed, and has just two pockets.

I did get the new one verified by vinted, but it took approximately 3 seconds for them to OK it, so I'm starting to wonder if it's actually genuine?

I bought a new one recently. Two pockets and hood is not detachable. It has two straps inside (to keep on the hanger? To wear over shoulders when coat gets too hot?) which seems pretty distinctive. Discreet branding on sleeves.

Thanks for your reply. That's promising re pockets and hood (although quite annoying that SB has made their technical parka less technical! Cost cutting I assume).

Not sure about inside straps though. I've only got the ones with toggles for waist tightening?

These [photo under review] are the straps I mean - I assume a fake item wouldn't have them?

Oh they're a cool idea, never seen that before..... However that's a different style coat!!

(I think, if it's padded?)
