Collaboration
With the recent drop in temperature, we’re now well and truly into ‘big coat’ season. After spending more than a year focusing on improving every aspect of my health, I was in need of some new winter outerwear – step forward the cosy Kendal jacket from Craghoppers. Read on for my full review…
Craghoppers Women’s Kendal Jacket in Tawny £90
The first thing to say about this jacket is that if you want something easy to sling on that’s akin to wearing a cosy, mega warm sleeping bag, this is the jacket for you. Mine arrived just in time for the recent dip in temperature and it has rapidly become my go-to for chilly days.
The jacket features H2OShield, a durable water repellent finish which stands up to light to moderate downpours, allowing rain to run off it. It’s also wind resistant and features a ThermoPro layer of insulation for fabulous levels of warmth that make this jacket feel similar to wearing down, but without the questionable ethics of conventional down.
In practice, these features mean this is a jacket that keeps you snug and comfortable even on very cold days, with a generous fit that leaves plenty of space for chunky knits or multiple layers.
I’m currently a size 12-14 and usually size up with jackets. I’m wearing a 14 and did find it on the large side, so in hindsight, the 12 would have been a better choice.
Do consider then, that the relaxed fit means that even for ladies with larger hips and/or chest, this is a jacket you most likely won’t need to size up in and you can just choose your normal dress size. For those that prefer a snugger fitting jacket, you may want to size down.
I love the length of this jacket on me, at 168cm/5.6″ it comes down far enough that it covers much of my thighs, adding to the cosy and warm feeling. The rear hem drops lower than the hem at the front, which is a nice practical touch that makes sitting on icy or damp benches much less of an ordeal.
Currently on sale for just £63 and with 3 different colours to choose from, the Craghoppers Kendal Jacket is an absolute bargain and a great buy for those seeking a winter coat that’s warm and versatile.
