Shoppers rave over £120 'breathable' Regatta jacket as it drops to £60 in sale
Even though we are in the midst of summer, it doesn't mean that we can completely get rid of our waterproof clothing. As the weather likes to be unpredictable, it is important to have a jacket handy that can be used all year round, especially in Scotland.
With so many big-brand names hosting sales at the moment, it can be difficult at times for shoppers to find the best bargain. And this doesn't just mean grabbing the item at the lowest price, shoppers need to make sure they are factoring in the quality of the item as well.
One jacket shoppers may want to consider is the Regatta 'Romine II' Waterproof Parka Jacket. Normally retailing for £120, Debenhams have halved the price of some of the colourways, meaning shoppers will only need to spend £60 on this high quality jacket.
Built to handle any weather, while also being trendy and functional, this Regatta Parka was designed to keep shoppers warm and dry without compromising style, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Crafted with a waterproof and breathable Isotex 10000 coated polyester, this durable jacket offers protection from both the wind and the rain. Shoppers will also be kept nice and warm without getting too hot as the jacket features a lightweight Thermoguard insulation.

With another five-star reviewer adding: "Love it! Good quality, all-weather women's coat. Very happy with purchase - ordered two in different sizes, colours to compare at home. Both give good fit. Still undecided which I one I like best; decided to keep both!"
However, some shoppers noted grievances with the jacket. One person wrote: "Breathable, waterproof, deep pockets however the hood is quite small so a hat is needed under it to cover the whole head from the rain. Other than that a good overall waterproof coat."
While another person said: "It was a lovely coat but not true to size. Good for rainy days but didn't feel lining was very warm."
On the flip side, a top reviewer commented: "Lovely fully waterproof jacket which is very warm as I do not like wearing bulky clothes underneath. Hood perfect size too."
While a sixth shopper added:"Fabulous coat, the best one I have bought in a very long time. So good I bought another."
