'Easy to fold up' £14 raincoat that comes in 8 colours may be perfect for TRNSMT
A travel raincoat may be an essential item for the Glasgow festival next month as the weather remains unpredictable.
Despite being near the end of June, the weather in the UK remains unpredictable, with rain, sun and thunderstorms predicted in upcoming forecasts. With many of us counting down to upcoming outdoor events, such as organised walks, concerts and festivals, it can be difficult to plan what to wear.
With temperatures are by no means on the chilly side, one essential item people may want to carry around is a travel raincoat. Lightweight enough to be carried around in a bag, these handy coats will keep festival-goers dry if hit with a sudden downpour.
For those considering buying one, Amazon is selling UNIQUEBELLA Travel Raincoat for £14.59, with the black edition currently down to £13.99. With shoppers praising it for being "lightweight" and able to "fold up into a handbag" it could be a must-have item for TRNSMT next month.
Available in black, yellow, purple, white, khaki, orange, lemon yellow and white with grey, shoppers will be able to match this 'trendy' raincoat to their chosen festival outfit. Described as both waterproof and fashionable, the raincoat is made from a high-quality, eco-friendly and transparent EVA material.
Featuring a waterproof drawstring hood and buttoned closures, this raincoat was made to keep users dry in the summer rain from head to toe. Available in sizes M, L and XL, shoppers can choose the coat that will best suit them by referring to the size guide.
The raincoat is also said to be lightweight, soft and breathable, allowing wearers to move freely when worn. And once the weather clears, the jackets are quick to dry so can be neatly folded away back into a backpack or travel bag without taking up too much room.

Over 300 have bought the UNIQUEBELLA Travel Raincoat in the last 30 days, with many shoppers leaving reviews sharing how they enjoyed that the jacket was both fashionable and practical.
One happy shopper wrote: "I haven't worn this raincoat out yet, but I can say that the quality is good and it's actually looks quite stylish on. I purchased the longer length and at 5'8", it covers to well below mid calf.
"Ideal in very rainy weather. Hopefully it will keep me dry. It's easy to fold up as well, so should fit easily into rucksacks/ cross body bags etc; when not needed."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "Covers me up completely, bought larger size so it fits easily over a jacket. Folds up small enough to fit in a handbag and always be to hand. Also it's lightweight for the summer downpours. Good value for money."
However, one shopper struggled with the sizing. They said: "Unfortunately the sleeves were too short and the item isn't as transparent as it appears in the photo.
"I'm 6'2' and ordered a large after reading the size chart, but the sleeves are shorter than stated. Shame because it's of a decent enough quality!" While another noted a way to improve the coat: "Would be better with pockets."
Despite this, a delighted shopper said: "Purchased this as I had to have a rain coat as I had a lot of outdoor gigs and we had so much rain in 2023. It looks really trendy and everyone commented on it. Comes in a very handy clutch bag style storage which it was easy to get back into. I definitely had the coolest rain coat out of all my friends."
With one more adding: "I bought this as I was going to Italy and the forecast was not good but I wanted to still look like I was on holiday as it was May after all. This was ideal as I could fold it up and put it in my bag to take out with me for when there was a sudden downpour. It kept me dry completely and equally the coat dried off pretty quick as well."

Europe on alert as first major heatwave of 2025 pushes temperatures to 42C
Authorities across Europe are on alert as the first heatwave of the summer pushes temperatures up to 42C (107.6F), as the fastest-warming continent continues to suffer the effects of the climate emergency. Spain's state meteorological office, Aemet, issued a special heat warning on Friday, saying temperatures could reach 42C in some southern areas of the country over the coming days. 'Very high and persistent temperatures are expected, both during the day and at night, which could pose a risk to exposed and/or vulnerable people,' Aemet said. Madrid's health ministry also warned people to take extra care in the heat, reminding them to stay out of the sun, keep hydrated and pay close attention to those who are older, pregnant or who have chronic health conditions. Two-thirds of Portugal will be on high alert on Sunday for extreme heat and forest fires as temperatures of up to 42C are expected in Lisbon. As temperatures in Marseille approach 40C, authorities in France's second-largest city have ordered public swimming pools to be made free of charge to help residents beat the Mediterranean heat. With peaks of 39C expected in Naples and Palermo, Sicily has ordered a ban on outdoor work in the hottest hours of the day, as has the Liguria region in northern Italy. The country's trade unions are campaigning to extend the measure to other regions. In Venice – which has played host to the lavish three-day wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez, guests, visitors and protesters are feeling the heat. 'I try not to think about it, but I drink a lot of water and never stay still, because that's when you get sunstroke,' Sriane Mina, an Italian student, told Agence France-Presse in the city. As temperatures in Greece approached 40C, a large wildfire broke out south of Athens on Thursday, leading authorities to issue evacuation orders and shut down parts of the coastal road linking the Greek capital to Sounion, location of the ancient Temple of Poseidon, a major tourist attraction. The heatwave follows a series of broken extreme-heat records, including Europe's hottest March ever, according to the EU's Copernicus climate monitor. As a result of the planet's warming, extreme weather events, including hurricanes, droughts, floods and heatwaves, have become more frequent and intense, scientists warn. Last year was the hottest in recorded history so far and led to worldwide disasters, costing more than $300bn (£219bn). A Lancet Public Health study published last year found that heat deaths in Europe could triple by the end of the century, with the numbers rising disproportionately in southern countries such as Italy, Greece and Spain. Sign up to Down to Earth The planet's most important stories. Get all the week's environment news - the good, the bad and the essential after newsletter promotion Deaths from warm weather could kill 129,000 people a year if temperatures rise to 3C above preindustrial levels. Today, heat-related deaths in Europe stand at 44,000. But the yearly death toll from cold and heat in Europe may rise from 407,000 people today to 450,000 in 2100, even if world leaders meet their global heating target of 1.5C, the study found.
