The Joules coat has 4.6 stars from 38 reviews at Marks and Spencer. One person said: “Lightweight and stylish. A really good length for walking in wet condtions, keeping tops of legs dry.
“I dont know how many times my thighs have got drenched on a dog walk. This helps you stay dry. Does crease a bit after being folded. Sizing is generous, i got the size below and it is fine.”
Another wrote: “I love this coat, had so many compliments about it. Really comfortable, fits true to size. I get hot really quickly and this coat is not too thick so I can wear a jumper underneath if needed. Would highly recommend this.”

“Well made, excellent quality, and lightweight,” a third said. “Practical with good zip and fastenings. Thoughtfully designed with a good hood. I have already had admiring comments on it. Wish there was a shorter version but being long (on me) must be good when it is raining!”
While most comments were positive, one person remarked it creased easily. They said: “I’m undecided at the moment, (keep or return). I’m only 5’2” and it’s longer than I would have preferred. The main issue is the creasing, which hasn’t resolved after being on a hanger for two weeks. The raincoat obviously can’t be ironed, I’m hoping if I wear it the creases will disappear over time. Have a week or so to decide.”
But another rave review added: “Wasn’t sure what to expect but was very pleased when it arrived. Really smart and very nice quality. Pockets are deep which is very useful.”
