There may well be another heatwave on the cards, but savvy shoppers are already getting their wardrobes organised for the months ahead. Every Brit knows that a reliable waterproof jacket is essential for unpredictable UK weather - and this FatFace option might just be the ultimate steal.

The brands summer sale is now underway, with selected pieces reduced by up to more than half price. One of those that has been reduced by 57% is the Taylor Black Waterproof Coat, which has been slashed from 130 to just 55, saving 75 in total.

Coming in a classic and versatile black shade, the coat has a long length that sits just above the knee, a high neck and zipper and press-stud closure for added protection from the elements. It also offers a hood, and plenty of pocket space for carrying essentials - particularly appealing for dog walkers.

Coming in sizes 6-24, the coat has earned a 4.7 star rating from shoppers. One reviewer said they had owned the coat for more than a month and had already put it through its paces during trips to the Lake District and Yorkshire.

They said: I bought this coat over a month ago and Im so glad I did. Its proven its worth and kept me dry when I went to the Lake District and Yorkshire where it did rain for two solid days. The coat itself is comfortable to wear and genuinely is waterproof.

Product Description

FatFace's sale sees this versatile Taylor Black Waterproof Coat reduced to it's lowest ever price. It features a hood, pockets, long length and zip closure for protection against wind and rain.

Another shopper praised it as Simple, a good length and not too heavy, though some reviews have noted its sized generously, commenting: Great coat. Very waterproof and warm with the fleece inside. Comes up a little big.

But shoppers who required another size found the customer service excellent when they wanted to exchange. They wrote: Lovely coat and in the sale too so a bargain. Ideal as Im always outdoors and umbrellas are cumbersome when its windy. Lovely quality and excellent customer service when I ordered the wrong size.

The hood also gets a mention in another review, with one shopper writing: I purchased this coat as I always like my clothes to match. When the coat turned up, I was pleasantly surprised how lovely and light the coat was. I also like that it has a big hood. Fabulous coat. You must purchase this coat. Im looking forward to wearing this soon.

Elsewhere, at Regatta, this Women's Pack-It III Waterproof Jacket has been reduced from 50 to 20. It comes in a range of colours and packs neatly into its own stuff sack making it a great choice for festivals, but its not got quite the same coverage as FatFaces - nor as many pockets.
