Portwest S250 Sealtex Ocean Jacket Long Sleeve Waterproof with Welded Seams | Navy, Medium, EN 343 Class 4:1, UKCA Marked, Regular Fit, Inner Elasticated Cuff, Double Storm Flap, Two-Way Zip, Heavy Duty

Thrilled with My Purchase – Brilliantly Keeps Me Dry in the Wettest Conditions The only gripe and by no means a major issues - is not having an inner pocket to put things into. Otheriwse the zip and fold over sections and hooded peak do wonders to keep rain off / out at all times

The Portwest Sealtex Ocean Jacket is a quality product. It is comfortable, wind proof & It keeps me dry whilst working or out metal detecting in wet weather. I also wear them when riding my motorcycle in wet conditions & I always arrive at my location nice & dry. I would definitely recommend. Worth every penny!!

A good jacket and would have been 5 star except for lack of pockets which I think are essential in this sort of coat.

Great waterproof jacket. I use it for work which is in a very wet environment and it does the job well. This is the second one I have bought, last one lasted me a few years.

Keeps me warm & dry.

Excellent quality product with great detail, versatile with a very affordable price.

The coat it’s self appears incredibly waterproof, giving a heavy cagoule feeling with an almost rubbery texture. The sizing is good. I usually fit a large in everything & this large has ample room for layers & thick jumper underneath. It would be easy to fold down but not if you’re looking for a packa mac type size. The downsides are that firstly, no pockets, which is a bit odd let’s face it. As it’s quite long, trouser pockets aren’t easily accessible so it’ll probably have to be nearly fully unzipped to gain access to any internal fleece / jumper pockets which again is a bit odd considering you’re probably wearing it in a downpour. The second huge design flaw is the hood. I wanted a peaked hood as I wear glasses & conventional hoods don’t keep the front of your face protected from rain enough when you pull the drawstrings. I had expected a short, shapable baseball cap type peak. This hood is really small. I have quite a small head compared to most anyway and this barely fits, let alone if you want to wear a woolly hat. It’s an odd cone shape and the leading edges are so short the SIDES of your face are still exposed? The peak isn’t malleable as expected so can’t be shaped to your head size / shape. It’s just a strip of plastic inside the seam. Altogether, the small size, odd shape & plastic strip actually leave your face more exposed to rain than a conventional soft shell type hood and doubly so when drawstrings pulled. Overall, the 3 stars were for good quality, actual waterproof jacket after years of being let down by soft shells / 3 in 1’s after a few months. The last 2 stars list for pockets & hood. Shame really.

This is still as waterproof as it gets, but they've saved a few pence getting rid of the pockets so it's useless now for outdoor work. They've ruined the best rain jacket.
