Regatta £30 waterproof jacket praised by shoppers

Shoppers are praising the Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket, which has been reduced from £100 to £30 in selected colourways, for keeping them dry in heavy rain. The jacket has been described as "very warm and completely waterproof" by delighted customers.

Designed for wet weather

The jacket is made with Isotex 15,000 stretch waterproof and breathable fabric, with taped seams for added protection against rain. It features a mesh and taffeta lining, an adjustable hood, zipped lower pockets, adjustable cuffs and an adjustable shock cord hem.

Available in a selection of colours and sizes 8 to 26, the lightweight design is intended for autumn walks and everyday outdoor trips. The grey/black colourway also has 70% off.

Shopper reviews

The jacket has received a 4.6 out of five-star rating on the Regatta website. One buyer said: "I am delighted with it. It is true to size. I can confirm it is very warm and completely waterproof. I got caught in a torrential downpour and was completely dry. It's the first Regatta jacket I've had, but I will definitely buy more."

Another called it 'wonderful', adding: "I absolutely love it. The pockets are so big and it's warmer than I thought it would be. I like the height of the zip and the comforts around the top part of it. It's very nice and easy to have with me at all times and fits into by bag nicely."

A third reviewer explained: "I tested it on a very windy day in the Scottish Highlands in driving rain....completely waterproof! Light weight jacket - water just rolls off. Hood is excellent, easy to adjust whilst walking - very handy hidden pockets. Stylish cut - true to size and the quality is exceptional."

Mixed feedback

Not every buyer was impressed, with one noting: "This jacket is superbly comfortable with a great selection of pockets and denim blue is beautiful. However at six months old and after very little use, it already has two tiny holes."

Another buyer said: "This is awesome and so good for the price it is. Keeps me bone dry no matter how wet it is and dries quickly too. Pockets are good and I can wear a jumper under it as well so that's the bonus too. It looks very smart. Fits perfectly. Keeps me warm without getting sweaty."
