Pros: Packs away into a back pocket and can then be worn as a sling bag!
Cons: Not 100% waterproof – best for showers not downpours.
When you shop with Free People, you know you’re buying something that’s designed to look great. We’ll admit, some rain jackets can look a little frumpy, but unsurprisingly this one goes against the grain with its flattering oversized fit, thigh cut outs and super cute colours (we particularly love ‘Endzone’).
Of course, it would be fair to wonder if style has overtaken function here, but it hasn’t. As well as showcasing the usual Free People high-end style, this jacket is also waterproof and wind-resistant, has a sweat-wicking interior, adjustable cuff and hood closures, sealed seams and large pockets – including one on the back. The back pocket can also be used to pack the jacket into when you’re done wearing it, and can then be worn as a sling bag! A unique design we’ve not seen before.
If you’re looking for a waterproof jacket to see you through spring and summer this should definitely be top of your list.
