With Storm Éowyn battering parts of the country this weekend, it’s safe to say that it is a little bit windy out there.
So, when you head outside, you might want to make sure you have the right layers on. Namely a warm coat that will keep you protected against the likes of high winds and rain.
One that seems to do just the job is Next’s Shower Resistant Padded Hooded Coat that is priced at £82. Described as “the perfect outerwear to take you through the new season”, it is proving fairly popular with shoppers online.

Made from a premium fabric, this thick, padded coat boasts a “shower resistant” finish that will come in handy during light showers. Meanwhile, some reviews have praised its large hood that doesn’t blow down during windy weather.
The design is complete with a knitted collar and cuffs, alongside the classic zip and popper fastening up the front. Available in sizes XS to 2XL, this padded coat can be bought in four colours – black, khaki, navy blue and white – but some are selling out fast.
With numerous glowing reviews for each colour, the Shower Resistant Padded Hooded Coat is one of the top sellers on the Next website, with universal acclaim for its “toasty warm” design that makes it “amazing in this cold weather.”
One shopper gushed: “I bought this coat for my daughter and it is perfect! It is wind and water resistant and very warm.”
A similar review read: “Love this coat, like a warm hug. Took a winter walk on a windy Norfolk beach and I was protected from strong winds and kept warm. Highly recommend.”
Someone else remarked: “Fab coat!! Toasty warm, showerproof and a hood that stays up. Love the high inner collar and the side splits.”
Another shopper added: “Lovely long khaki coat, feels like a duvet, super warm! Has been amazing in this cold weather! It has a velvety finish to the fabric and I have had so many compliments when I’ve worn it. Highly recommend.”
While there are no overall negative reviews for the £82 coat, one shopper did admit in their review that they had one small issue, writing: “My one niggle would be that the zips can get a little stuck when undoing the coat.”
