The seams are sealed with waterproof tape for optimum protection from the rain, while the stretch cuffs make for a comfortable and secure fit on the arms.
Then there's the choice in colours — there's nine different colours to choose from, each easy-to-wear and style, whether that's for a hike in the countryside, dog walking or running errands. It's also a great option to pack if you're off to a British festival, which we all know typically ends rather wet.
Best of all, it really is waterproof, with Mountain Warehouse claiming it's been tested against 1,500 millimetres of rainfall, and shoppers saying it's "excellent in the rain". What more could you want from a trusty summer raincoat?
