Trespass Penelope Jacket for Women

A comfortable coat which is well fitting and the lower hem at the back is very flattering. I was hoping, because it has a cotton lining, it would stop me from sweating while out walking, but although on the first outing it did, on the second and subsequent outings I had to hang it up inside out to dry as the lining was decidedly damp. I took off one star for this reason. I like the two way zip so the coat can be loosened from the bottom whilst sitting, in a car for example. I bought the XXL which is a snug fit on me and I'm a size 18/20 high street. I don't wear thick layers underneath the coat as I don't feel the cold which is just as well because there's not a lot of spare room!

I'm a 12 on top and 14 on the bottom so i ordered a size L. Its roomy, big enough to wear a chunky jumper. Im 5ft and this coat goes to about an inch above my knees. I feel its quite generous in size. There are 4 big pockets, 2 zipped, 2 flaps with press studs. The sleeve lining is yellow. Hood is nice size which is adjustable. The hood folds away into the collar. Feels good quality, lightweight.Wore during 2 heavy days of rain. I wore cable knit cardi underneath, coat zipped up, 13° warm & alittle windy outside. Hood stayed up. Dry inside & out. Would prefer a peak on the hood to keep my face dry. Coat isn't breathable. It was fine on my way to work & dog walking but when carrying heavy shopping its quite sweaty

I like the style of this jacket , it really keeps you dry in the wet weather we are having now so it’s really come in handy.The only thing I would say is the sizing is out you need to buy a size up , I’m a 16 to 18 and had to return an xl and send for a 2xl which is very disappointing

This is a well-made item, excellently finished. Unfortunately the sizing is not good; I`m an 18 but usually buy 20 for comfort. I would consider 18 - 20 to be Large, implying that XL would be 20 - 22 and XXL 22 - 24, which seems to be the case with most other manufacturers so I bought the XXL, with the intention of being able to wear it over heavy jumpers in the cold weather. However, I can barely do it up over a light-weight top and have to open the bottom half of the zip in order to sit down. What a shame; they have spoilt the ship for want of a ha`porth of tar! I would have returned it but have had to wear it a couple of times in recent bad weather as I had left my original waterproof at my daughter`s.

This is the best raincoat I've ever had. The length of it is just perfect, not too long to cycle and not to short, my thighs don't get wet in the rain. It has 2 pockets, which are really convenient, the ones on the front are really deep, I'm not worried when I put my phone in it. The ones at the sides are really good when I want to put my hands in my pockets, so comfortable. And It's waterproof. I also love the colour, vibrant red. What's not to like.

It's surpsingly warm for a rain coat. It feels lovely to wear. Usually I only wear padded coats but for the warmer weather I bought this for when it rains and I actually think I could wear it in colder weather with a jumper as it feels very secure from the outside temperatures.I am about a clothes size 8 (UK) and I bought an S for small thinking that would be my size and I didn't realise it equates to a size 10. But it's OK as although it is a little roomy and does not fit me tight, I figure that I can wear this with warm clothing and jumpers so it works out well.If you do want it to fit tight then get your usual size. I am happy to keep the size 10 as it could prove more functional than fitting me tight anyway.Love this coat.

I love wearing this coat and always feel good in it. Bought size based on the reviews, these seem accurate and fits nice. Been out in the rain including messing with pushchair assembling and it kept me dry.Down side, although minor, the negatives were that there was some excess Velcro from where the shape had been cut, still attached to the coat. This was easily cut off however. Also there were holes in the pocket lining in both pockets on the right side, again easily fixable but shows floors in quality checks on the product.Main thing is I love it though and would definately recommend

I have an old Trespass wind/water resistant light coat and wanted to buy a new one.I like the look of this and the reduced price, I loved the yellow, as I want to stand out walking my dog on Country Road for safety, not vanity!!!This has a nice material inside which is soft to touch and might give a little bit of warmth, not much though (black and white stripes).Lovely soft feel to outside material too. Lovely shape at waist, so accentuates your shape rather than most coats this length which make you look paddier!Hood folds away neatly, but I like the look of it hanging out.Thought the zip was awkward to do up as couldnt align both zip pulls, but then realised how to do it and like butter to zip up now. Plastic well made chunky zip which gives me confidence it won't stick at anytime. You can do up and then undo at bottom so you can sit down in car comfortably or get air in, like most of my ski jackets.Haven't tried in rain or wind yet, but my other Trespass excellent so expect same here.Wonderful quality and heavier than I thought it would be. I am a medium size 12 and it is perfect, I put a fleece ski type thick jacket under it, so thick jumper would be fine as well to ensure I keep warm anytime in it, unless maybe deep winter?VERY happy with this purchase for £42 instead of £101. I only bought as it was on sale, so honestly would not buy at original price. My mum just received a lilac/plum colour one, but in person colour looks different that picture...the colour is more pastel and muted and I must admit doesn't look as nice as my bold yellow.
