Shopper reviews

One shopper said: "Love this jacket, lightweight and a nice fit. Nice pale colour good for days when a heavy raincoat not needed."

A second review read: "Bought in pink, this little lightweight jacket is so stylish to dress up or down, great for a cool evening."

A third fan added: "Love the jacket. Love the colour. Much neater fit. It’s short and stylish."

A fourth review read: "I was looking for a lightweight shower proof jacket for summer. This was caught my eye and I was very pleased when I tried it on and it was just perfect."

One shopper did note that the jacket 'gets creased very easily', which could be seen as a disadvantage to some.

Alternatives and availability

For a similar vibe in a different colour, Next is selling the Red Elements Waterproof Rain Jacket with a waterproof finish and a flattering bubble hem. Regatta is also selling the Women's Pack-It III Waterproof Jacket for £20 instead of £50, which comes with a 'high breathability rating' making it ideal for muggy days.

The M&S jacket is available to purchase for £40.
