There are a rare few colours here, such as peach, that fall outside the usual black, blue, khaki and yellow – and several colours currently have between 30% and 50% off, which is welcome on the cost of a £250 jacket.
Other times I wear one over a Uniqlo puffer jacket – a vital winter layer, in my book – and cycle, without feeling weighed down by wool and sweat.
This is one of the brands I reach for whenever the weather takes a turn; its long jacket has seen me through countless soggy commutes, playground trips and walks in the woods.
The elasticated cuffs will help keep out rain, as will the adjustable hood, which can be pulled tight over your head for that particularly grim sideways kind of rain.
After a muddy walk, it’s happily machine-washable – despite having been washed several times over the years, mine is still going strong (use a guppy bag when washing to help prevent the shedding of microfibres into the waterways).
