Amazon shoppers say 'rainproof' £27 jacket is ideal for 'unpredictable summers'
A downfall of rain is set to be on the horizon, which is why it is handy to have a waterproof layer on hand.
It's not exactly wrong to suggest that our UK summers can often be varied. For the past few weeks, parts of the country have experienced a mini-heatwave, as the Met Office recorded the sunniest spring ever.
However, as is usually the case, this month is set to bring about a deluge of rainfall, which means that it is probably going to be worth having a waterproof layer on hand for any potential downpours.
One that shoppers are bagging for "unpredictable summers" is this Rapbin Rain Jacket for Women that is available to buy on Amazon in multiple colourways for just £26.99.
Crafted from a lightweight and breathable polyester material, this jacket protects against both wind and rain. It also comes with a handy carry pouch, allowing for it to be stored safely and dry in a handbag for any unexpected weather changes.
It is complete with a drawstring hood, drawstring waist, elasticated cuffs, interior pockets, side pockets and a waterproof zipper. With its loose-fitting design, it is ideal for any sort of outdoor activity this summer including running, hiking, climbing and much more.
