Regatta has reduced its Women's Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket in Brown from £100 to £50 ahead of Black Friday, with an additional 11% off available using the code SOLO11, bringing the price down to £44.50. The jacket is available in sizes 8-26 and features a neutral tone designed to pair with walking leggings, jeans and boots. Other colours are also on offer, though prices vary depending on the shade.
Customer reviews praise warmth and waterproofing
The Birchdale II uses Regatta's Isotex 20000 stretch fabric, which is waterproof and breathable, along with taped seams to prevent water penetration and adjustable elements for fit. Customer feedback has been positive, with one shopper writing: "I bought the Birchdale Waterproof Jacket recently and 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 customer tested the jacket in extreme conditions, stating: "I bought this Woman's Birchdale ll Black rain coat for wet school runs, walking in the woods and parks. The first use was in Pen-y-Fan in storm Amy - 50+ mph winds! It kept me warm and dry throughout the climb. Impressed."
Sizing considerations and alternatives
Some shoppers advised sizing up, depending on how many layers they planned to wear underneath. One review noted: "This is a lovely, lightweight properly waterproof jacket and is ideal for the warmer months, and was great value in the sale. Unfortunately, the sizing wasn't accurate. I'm a size 12 and ordered a 14, which is a little bit tight. I won't be able to wear anything more than a summer top underneath it. My advice would be to order 2 sizes up, unless you like a really tight fit." Another five-star review described the jacket as "perfect for a wet autumn day or with a warm jumper or fleece underneath for a colder day," adding that the hood "gives good coverage and stays in place."
Other waterproof jackets are also discounted this November. Sweaty Betty's Motion Waterproof Mid Parka has been cut from £220 to £154, made from 100% recycled three-layer fabric with taped seams and a 16k+ waterproof membrane. M&S offers a Cotton Rich Waterproof Checked Hooded Parka for £90 in navy gingham, with a zip front and long sleeves.
