Seasalt Cornwall shoppers call 'best raincoat' for unpredictable weather a 'rare find'

With the rainy and windy weather refusing to let up, shoppers are grabbing the Seasalt Cornwall Neap Tide Waterproof Jacket to merge style with protection against the downpours. This trendy jacket is available in three shades: Inkwell (a deep navy blue), Driftwood (a pale stone), and Nori (a khaki green), catering to sizes eight through to 28.

Although the Neap Tide Waterproof Jacket is a fresh addition to the Seasalt Cornwall collection, it's been so popular that sizes are already sold out and have since been restocked. Its design takes inspiration from a classic trench coat but offers a boxier, cropped cut for a relaxed vibe.

Crafted from waterproof and breathable organic cotton, it ensures comfort even when the weather throws everything at you and, priced at £150, its versatility makes it an enduring wardrobe piece for all sorts of events. It comes with an adjustable hood that adds flexibility in style, and those clever reverse-entry pockets will keep your belongings dry. If bulky coats during cold seasons are a concern, the Seasalt Neap Tide is praised for layer-friendly wear.

One satisfied shopper shared their experience: "I've been looking for a jacket like this to replace an old one for ages. Seems well made. Generous fit so I can wear a thick sweater underneath if I need to", reports Cornwall Live.

A second customer raved about the detachable hood, which offers a versatile look for the coat. They enthused: "Love the Nori colour and the fact that the hood is detachable. I hate hoods and see them as only for emergencies, when you can't find your umbrella, so this is a huge plus as far as I'm concerned. All round, very pleased."

Another shopper described the 'stylish fully waterproof jacket with hood' as a 'rare find', adding: "I was so pleased with the jacket. Size perfect quality great. Each time I have worn it people ask me where I got it. Feels lightweight and very comfortable. Best waterproof I have bought for a very long time."

However, one wearer found the material of the Neap Tide jacket bothersome, complaining: "Good fit and 'A' line style. But noisy to wear! Crinkly fabric finish rustles and makes noises! Worn on holiday but wished I could send it back as can't stand the noise when moving around. Sad."

Yet, another customer was won over by the style, sharing their delight: "I've been looking for a short trench coat for sometime Seasalt fits the bill. The colour is fabulous. The fit is amazing true to size the lining is sumptuous. The overall look is classic trendy and fabulous.. I'm 77 years old and I think I look quite a trendy gran in my short trench coat. I love sea salt rain coats I have four now. Seasalt Is the best rainwear ever."

If your budget doesn't quite stretch to £150 for the Seasalt Cornwall Neap Tide Jacket, you can save £26 by choosing the Lexi Waterproof Coat at White Stuff instead. Retailing at £130 and available in either khaki green or dusty blue, it caters to sizes six to 24, offering two fits - petite or regular.

For those looking to spend less than £100, Roman's Navy Hooded Zip and Pocket Rain Coat might catch your eye. Currently on sale for £50, customers have praised it as 'ideal for rainy days', being 'light enough yet warm simultaneously'.
