Next's lightweight raincoat is perfect for 'warmer days and light showers'
The unpredictable Irish summertime, often a mix of sunshine and showers, can make choosing what to wear a challenge. This week alone has seen cold, wet and windy mornings give way to sunny afternoons.
One solution is to opt for a waterproof coat. These lightweight jackets prevent overheating and can be easily folded up and stowed in a bag due to their thin material.
Next's latest Resistant Lightweight Jacket is garnering positive reviews from shoppers for these very reasons. Customers have commended the jacket's lightweight material for its practicality.
Priced at €79.50, the crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket comes in either black or sage colours. One buyer described it as a 'lovely lightweight coat for warmer days and light showers' in the comments section. The lightweight jacket can also be packed away easily (Image: Next)
The quarter-length jacket also features a hood, reports the Mirror.
Additional details include a central zip, poppers, and pockets on both sides. The model wearing the black version pairs it with jeans, a leopard-print top, and boots, while the model in the sage colour teams it with blue leggings and a cream top.
The black coat is available in sizes 6-24, and the sage one comes in sizes 6-22.
For those seeking a raincoat made from a slightly heavier material, New Look offers a Water Resistant Drawstring Anorak for £39.99 (€46). Available in two neutral shades, mink and dark brown, this coat makes an ideal choice for the transition from summer to autumn.
Turning back to Next's Resistant Lightweight Jacket, one customer expressed their satisfaction: "Really pleased with my long jacket. Bought it to take on holiday as it is so light to wear or to carry." The crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket is priced at €79.50 and available in black or sage hues
However, they did note a minor issue: "My only criticism is that the sleeves could be tighter at the wrists."
Another purchaser remarked: "This a lightweight shower coat in a very nice shade of green. It has some interesting features, and is exactly what I was looking for. It is generous fit, allowing for thicker layers if needed."
One customer was not impressed by the material, stating: "Looked scruffy. Ok for walking dog. Sent it back as wanted a smarter coat."
Another Next customer reviewed: "Lightweight, comfortable perfect for not overheating in summer. Fit is loose and oversized. Practical but stylish."
