M&S’ Goodmove Stormwear Parka: The ultimate autumn coat
As the summer season draws to a close and the weather turns wet and chilly, many shoppers are looking to invest in transeasonal outerwear. The perfect autumn coat is waterproof to keep you dry during showers, yet lightweight enough to prevent overheating during milder weather.
Fashion enthusiasts claim that one Marks and Spencer raincoat meets all these requirements and more. The Stormwear Ultra Waterproof Hooded Parka is currently the top-selling coat on the M&S website, and it’s not hard to see why.
The Goodmove Stormwear Ultra Waterproof Hooded Parka is a fashionable yet practical choice for any weather – this longline parka features innovative Stormwear technology to keep you dry.
The zip-through design comes in a regular fit with a flattering waist toggle and also adjustable fastenings at the cuffs, with a hood offering additional protection against the elements.
Moreover, the breathable fabric and secure pockets make it perfect for outdoor activities, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Stormwear Ultra Waterproof Hooded Parka is available in sizes 6 to 24 and comes in three stylish colours: Dark Khaki, Black, or Silver Grey.
It has been extremely well-received by customers, with no rating lower than four stars. Shoppers adore its design – some so much that they’ve purchased it in multiple colours.
One delighted M&S shopper said: “Excellent product. Looks stylish and is functional. Well worth the money.”
Another satisfied consumer declared: “I love this waterproof coat.. it’s very fashionable and comfortable to wear so it will be used whether it’s raining or not. I ordered the silver grey which looks almost white. It really brightens my face when I’m wearing it. It’s washable and that’s a bonus. I love it so much I immediately ordered another in a different shade. Can’t wait to wear them.”
A third chimed in: “Nice cut, nice colour. Just what I’ve been looking for a practical waterproof coat that also looks good. Not oversized but generous enough to get a jumper under if needed. I’m 12/14, bought size 12 which is a perfect fit.”
“Fabulous completely waterproof coat. Exceptional quality with great finishes. Velcro cuffs. Zipped pockets and generous hood. I went for the grey although I would describe it as winter white. Highly visible, which for me is a bonus out in the countryside where I walk along dark lanes overshadowed by trees. Generous size,” a fourth delighted buyer contributed.
The item’s lowest rating at the time of writing was four stars, attributed only to the lack of rain since purchase, with that shopper noting: “Looks good but it’s hardly rained since I bought it!”
However, another shopper commented: “I wasn’t sure about the colour, khaki green, but it’s better than in the photo. I love all the pockets, great for dog walking. I wish they had the orange colour flashes on the zips which they did on the parka, gives a special touch.”
Another customer remarked: “Fantastic coat. Looks and feels way more expensive. Sized down.”
