Portwest S438 Men's Waterproof Raincoat - Lightweight Long Rain Jacket with Hood and Pockets

Regarding the durability. I think this raincoat is very durable. It has not ripped despite some very windy, wet weather! And is completely waterproof. It does the job, which is to keep you dry. I bought one of these to go over a smaller jacket, which is neither waterproof nor windproof. With this on top, I can keep warm, dry and windproof! It's lightweight and can be rolled up quite tightly to fit into the small corner of a suitcase and also has storm proof large pockets with flaps to keep the rain out. And a hood with a cord to keep it on in the winds. A very versatile item for wet weather walking. It won't win any prizes for style, and the zip only goes up from the bottom, it's not two way. But oh, it's so nice to stay dry in wet weather. Plain and simple and excellent for dog walking and so on.

Ok so the choice is to buy a £90 Dryrobe or this item at about £20. Buy this and save the extra money. I wear this when watching my kids at weekend sports. It can be a miserable business standing in the pouring rain but this rain jacket does a really good job of keeping out all the elements. The jacket keeps out the wind as well so wind chill reduction help keeps you warm. The sleeve cuffs are elasticated internally so that prevents a hurricane going up your sleeves. Best to wear with a baseball cap as the hood has no peak so in very heavy rain some water gets on your face - minor point really. Don’t forget the rain all comes off the jacket so without waterproof trousers your legs will get soaked. Same goes for footwear. Good bit of no nonsense kit. Yeah you could spend the extra dosh on a Dryrobe but no one cares what brand of jacket you’re wearing when it’s absolutely pouring with rain and blowing a gale. Size was about right - still able to get a warm jacket underneath.

Sizing is accurate. I ordered the next size up thinking it may need more room when worn on top of jacket etc., but I could have stayed with usual size as it is rather too big. Not a big issue as it covers very well.

I'm 6ft 3In tall and about 20 stones in weight. Yes, I used to play rugby, I'm that sort of build. This raincoat was XXXL (3XL) as I intend to wear it over my usual fluffy jacket. Amazon suggested 2XL, which might have been OK if I had not worn anything under it. Today it was raining and I tried it out. Fantastic! It was about 12C outside so not too warm and there was no danger of this turning into a sweat weight-loss program, which another reviewer mentioned. In the summer it might be a different story, but it rains less then anyway. And rain is warmer. It fitted great, it has pockets (which were amazingly warm), it was 100% waterproof, the hood fitted over my baseball cap and was easily secured with the drawstring toggles --- in short it did the business and even if I only wear it half a dozen times a year it will be worth not being drenched. It was of a more robust construction than I had anticipated, not exactly lightweight but once I put it on it felt light enough. It was comfortable too, with the very soft plastic used. No complaints. TL;DR the dog got far wetter than I did, even though he wore a doggy mac. Buy again: Yes (wife already wants one) Recommend to a friend: Yes

Great coat for the rain. Perfectly dry and length great good quality. Looks good and breathable. Would recommend for wet damp morning walks.

Well happy with this item, I'm 5'11" and this hangs around a foot off the floor, the zip is 3/4 of the length of the coat, the hood is plenty big enough or folds away into the collar, there's a elastic wrist about 1" up inside , the pockets wow a good 8" square with a flap so will keep things dry i hope, as for waterproof? yet to test in a down pour, its extremely lightweight too and rolls up, and i made a bag to keep it in whilst in the boot rather then throwing it around, as for size I normally go for 3xl just incase I've got extra jumpers on or such but went 4xl on this and wow again plenty big enough 3xl would have been sufficient. Well worth the price highly recommended.

Great coat.

I have a long "waterproof" coat that cost an awful lot of money and it looks great but it actually leaks in places. This coat is not a pretty thing but it is definitely waterproof! I like the fact that it has elicitation at the cuffs inside the sleeve so water doesn't run up inside when you raise your arms. The main difference between pricey coats and coats like this is the breathability of the fabric. This one is not breathable so it does get warm inside but I actually don't mind that because it means you don't have to put a jumper on underneath when its cold and wet- a long sleeved t shirt will suffice. If it's warm and wet it does get a bit sweaty but I would rather just undo my coat and get a little wet when it's not cold. Huge pockets are fab for tennis balls, mobile phone, etc. The length is below the knee on me (5ft 5") which is great. The hood is a good size and I wear a baseball cap underneath to keep it off my face. All in all a very practical, waterproof coat for dog walking, etc.
