A happy customer wrote: “A great informal jacket with two fantastic pockets – large and cosy for one, secure for the other. Wind proof and rainproof.”
A second positive review read: “Lovely jacket that I resisted for so long because I felt I had enough jackets. Finally gave in to this slightly unusual overhead, quilted hoody. I loved the colour too. I was not disappointed; really lovely wind/waterproof jacket. Very versatile, from pulling over gym gear to walking the dog; or wearing more smartly in town – Very pleased with my purchase.”
Another shopper gushed: “Followed advice of other reviews and went down a size. Still roomy and comfortable. Bought it for those in between autumn days.”
Someone else applauded: “Brought this the moment I saw it , I walk dogs and love over the head jackets and needed something for autumn weather and this fits the bill, it is oversized but for me means I can have a chunky jumper on without issue , but size down is recommended.”
Not all shoppers have been happy with the over-head style design, as one wrote: “Zip hooded puffer jacket. The colour is why I chose it. The hood is good to, the sad thing about it is having to put over my head. Would have preferred a zip.”
