Shopper reviews
Reviews for the Next coat have been largely positive. One shopper said: "Great shower proof jacket its a good length, very well padded with zip and press studs, really warm, a good buy!"
A second review read: "Love this - went to Lapland and it kept me very warm in -6 degrees." Another added: "Bought this last week, really warm, not too heavy. Really pleased with this coat, would recommend it."
Sizing and alternative options
At the time of writing, the negative reviews reflect the larger sizing of the coat, so it may be worth sizing down. One review noted the shower resistant quality was not as strong as expected, reading: "I bought this before Christmas and wore it last week in the rain and I was soaked through its most definitely NOT shower resistant."
For those seeking an alternative, the New Look website offers a Dark Khaki Shower Resistant Lined Anorak Raincoat priced at £39.99, described as an easy layer for trans-seasonal weather. The reduced Next coat is available to purchase for £29.
