berydaleLadies Winter Parka, Windproof and Waterproof

This is a really good jacket and has already become indispensable wear.The first one came with a faulty zip but replacement was quickly organised.Am a size 10/12 and purchased Medium on reading the reviews. It is an excellent fit, just right for me but if you are 12/14 would definitely be too small. Cannot understand comments on sleeve length as I have fairly long arms and the sleeves are plenty long enough; the storm cuffs are great and come to base of thumb so wouldn't want any longer. Some people refer to a faux fur strip on hood which can be unzipped ? No fur (thank goodness) and no zip on mine !Also would comment that the shape is exactly as portrayed, waist fits well (and has a drawstring to tighten) and the jacket is a well fitting and good length.Very warm without being over bulky and have tested in fairly heavy downpour and was completely waterproof..Texture of jacket is not slippery and has a matt, 'weave' type finish which makes it pleasant to wear (unlike some waterproofs) and also reasonably smart for town and country use.I walk miles in all weathers and am delighted with this jacket - exactly the replacement for an old faithful.It is rather long and well fitting for cycling but there is a reverse zip function which should mean ok if you want to horse ride.Only niggle is hood which is quite big , tends to blow back and rather obscures your vision. This is a minor point and a common problem with hoods I find (my Barbour is the same)

Wow what a great coat. Pleased I chose this one. As reviews were good for it which made me order it. Very well made. Lots of pockets. Very warm lining nice long sleeves. Great fabric. Lovely colour as I ordered grey. Plus I got a 25 per cent discount on my coat

I'm very happy with this jacket - reading all the reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm usually a UK 14 (top) and UK 12 (bottom) so I went for the L as it was a couple of inches larger than my actual measurements and that's exactly what I ended up with - enough room for wearing extra layers underneath if needed but it doesn't feel too big without. I wanted something warm, waterproof and to see me through dog walking in winter, whatever the weather, and have room for added layers. The waist can be pulled in with the inside drawstring to give more shape as you need it. I'm 5ft 4" so the length for me comes to lower mid thigh which keeps the top of my legs warm. I've worn it in light/med rain and fairly strong wind, over the last couple of days - it's great for blocking the wind and kept me perfectly dry after being out in it for about an hour (will test it out in heavier rainfall in due course). It's comfortable and snug to wear with warm and useful pockets - the temperature control is good - not getting too hot when walking a lot but still keeping nicely warm and dry. The dual zip (top and bottom opening) is always nice to have and there's also an option to open the back vent button, if you need extra stride. The hood is also warm - I wouldn't say it's overly large as some have suggested but agree there isn't anything to hold it in place or tighten it, especially if very windy (you can easily wear a hat inside when really cold, which could help hold the hood in place better, or maybe add some ties inside?). I also found the sleeves to be a good length having average length arms, I think!? The fabric is really nice and the finish on my jacket is good. I bought the brown one - lovely shade and overall, I'm very happy with it!

This is my 2nd Berydale jacket. This one is in blue. I just bought it and did not use it yet however I had the same model but in brown for the last 5 years. I am not joking, have been using it all the time and lasted that long. I live in channel islands, not very cold but often windy and wet. This jacket is perfect for this weather.Jacket is very well made, fabric is sturdy and waterproof. Fits nicely, hood is spacious and protects well, slaves are rather long, nice design, looks good on the figure. Sizing is small. I usually wear size8 but my jacket is size M, one size up to my usual. I am very happy to write this review as I appreciate this product very much, it is worth spending time to share this information with others. Thank you!

Took me two years of waiting for the price to finally drop so I could buy this jacket. I'm not disappointed in slightest. It's fantastic. Keeps me warm, dry and stylish. Got many compliments as well. Love it!

I wanted to wait a little while to review this coat to hopefully try it in some different weather conditions. The first time wearing it was a baptism of fire! Torrential downpours, gusty winds, and rapidly dropping temperatures. It passed the test with flying colours. I was toasty warm and totally dry. Further wearing in similar conditions and its still performing just as well.The length is great at just below mid-thigh and means that I don't end up with freezing legs. Being slightly busty I went up a size so I could wear extra layers in the winter. The coat is actually a bit big but there is the option to cinch in the waist and definitely room for a chunky jumper, not that I think i will need it as its like wearing a duvet for warmth.The hood is a good size and actually stays up! I can comfortably wear a wooly hat under it for those really cold mornings walking the dog.This coat is fantastic and I feel very good value for money. Can't recommend it highly enough for staying warm and dry.

Purchase this coat to replace my existing one as getting a bit too tight the length was very good nice to keep your warm in the winter months nice big Hood with the high neck quality seemed good only thing was the sleeves seem to be a very big and the elastic cuff seemed to be very big different fit my little wrist unfortunately so I have to return how to find something else just as good.The body fit was a bit tight .

Faultless! Sleeves long enough, very warm, big handwarmer pockets, phone pocket! well made. I simply cannot fault it.
