A 'stylish' raincoat with a 'classy print' was said to be ideal for a 'soggy day in the Midlands'. Shoppers also thought the Joules Holkham Waterproof Packable Raincoat 'looked more expensive' than it was.

It also had "durable, high-shine" poppers, toggles and zip, plus an internal adjustable waist.

" A two-star review was posted due to stitching issues: "First one arrived and the back vent hadn’t been stitched correctly, so didn’t lay flat. It was also very large so I returned it for a smaller size . Unfortunately the smaller size also had the same stitching problem so I returned that one as well.

" A three-star review simply said: "It wasn’t for me." Other options include the Funnel Neck Longline Raincoat from M&S , priced £79. Cotton Traders also has an All-New Windermere Waterproof on sale for £59 instead of £69.
