Weatherproof raincoat is 'lightweight' and 'perfect for rainy spells'

September is off to a drizzly start with rainy spells and windy balms. If the first day of the month is anything to go by, there'll be plenty more rainfall on the horizon.

Currently, shoppers can pick up a best-selling raincoat from Lands' End, which consumers have praised for its shower-proof and lightweight material. Originally priced at £79, the Women's Packable Raincoatis on sale for £44 in selected colours, including peach, yellow, and mustard.

The jacket is available in sizes 8-20, with stock availability varying depending on which colour shoppers choose. For instance, the peach and yellow coats are in stock in all sizes, but the mustard hue is only in stock in size 8.

The Women's Packable Raincoat from Lands' End has almost 500 customer reviews and ratings, one person said: "Perfect for rainy spells, good quality material, soft against the skin. Size perfect."

An additional shopper added: "Great jacket. Lightweight raincoat. I got a little bigger, so I can layer under the jacket."

Another customer was not as pleased, saying: "I have only worn this a few times now, and it is a nice lightweight rain jacket for use in light rain, except that the waist constantly bothers me as it is positioned way too high."

A fourth buyer said: "I’m petite and originally ordered a petite medium, which was a little bit too large, so I reordered the petite small, and it fit great. Very nicely made jacket and definitely waterproof. It’s perfect for living in the NW."

Another customer added: "I am 5'8" and 140lb. I purchased a small size, and the body and arm length fit perfectly. It is a nice quality, single-layer, lightweight, waterproof shell. Perfect for warm rain, layering over a fleece, or for a rainy walk/run/exercise.

"I love the bright limey yellow. It's a good spring/summer colour and good for visibility/safety if you are running/walking."

An additional person commented: "This is a nice, attractive, water-repellent jacket. It repels water very well and looks nice while doing so. I'm glad I bought it."

A final buyer said: "I love the colour of this jacket. Over the last couple of years, I have bought it in six colours and love them, especially petite fitting."
