Solus Waterproof Parka

I love the shape of my new coat - the quilting qualifying it’s price

I’d worn it a couple of times before using the hood

Totally waterproof & beautifully wind proof but unfortunately the hood is a total let down

It comes too far over my head , really limiting my vision; it’s a real shame in an otherwise perfect coat - I should’ve checked before wearing it out

For an expensive raincoat it’s a disappointment

I want to say I’d still recommend as perhaps the hood suits some with bigger heads/hair !

Really nice parka, a nice tone of green and a really good quality. Big inside pocket where nothing can fall out and a good length. I would recommend a smaller size. Even then you can wear a thick sweater or even a down jacket under when its really cold. Otherwise is has a perfect insulation for changing seasons.

This coat is really nice on. Can be used all year round but I think I will use it mainly as a spring/autumn coat as I am a size 14-16 and it looks chunky with a big jumper underneath on me. I haven’t tried it out in terms of waterproofing yet but I had it recommended by friends who say it is a very practical coat. Only reason for 4 stars is the drawstrings which when pulled in give it an odd look. I’ve loosened them off and it looks better.

Well made, warm, waterproof and stylish! A sustainably made gem that I anticipate will last me many years.

I ordered a size 12, and then swapped it for a 10, it is a beautiful jacket and fully waterproof, I've had a number of compliments already. Also it has brilliant pockets, nothing falls out !
