Brits who have experienced a summer in the UK know all too well that sunshine is a rare commodity, and many a day out has been marred by unexpected downpours. The frequent spells of rain mean we must always be ready for a deluge and Amazon might just have the ideal fix that “combines fashion and practicality”.
The Rapbin Raincoat Women’s Waterproof Jacket, a hit on Amazon priced starting from £22, is winning over shoppers with its plethora of 5-star accolades. Satisfied buyers are gushing, claiming they “bought two of these jackets as I like them so much”.
Crafted from polyester, the jacket offers water resistance without sacrificing lightness, perfect for those summer showers while also ensuring breathability and sturdiness.This quick-drying raincoat can be compactly stowed away in a tiny drawstring pouch, making it convenient to carry wherever you’re headed, without adding any bulk.
Lauded for being “versatile” and “comfortable”, the Rapbin raincoat comes with a drawstring elastic waist to ensure an “attractive” and “more flattering” silhouette, even amidst the showers, reports the Mirror.
Featuring two standard external pockets and an adjustable hood, this waterproof jacket also boasts a useful internal pocket that impressed reviewers have described as “big enough for a phone to go in or even a small book or both”.
Available in eight different colours and sizes ranging from small to 3XL, the price of this jacket varies between £22.39 and £23.39 depending on your colour preference.
One thrilled 5-star reviewer gushed: “This has been used for a recent trip to Norway and this kept me perfectly dry during a few rainstorms and felt breathable. I ordered this in a large as i wanted to wear a fleece underneath and this was perfect for me.”
A second detailed: “The black rain jacket I recently purchased exceeded my expectations in both style and functionality. The waterproof material kept me dry during heavy downpours, and the adjustable hood provided extra protection against the elements. Overall, this black rain jacket combines fashion and practicality, making it an essential piece for any wardrobe, especially for those living in rainy climates such as Scotland!”
But some noted the zips are “flimsy” and can break easily and another said the hood “was letting in water” and doubted if it would do any good in a downpour.
