Frequently Asked Questions
How does the sizing run for this women’s jacket?
The jacket is dual-sized to accommodate layering comfortably, ranging from Small (UK 8–10) up to Extra-Large (UK 20–22). If you plan on wearing thick jumpers underneath during deep winter, we recommend sizing up if you fall near the upper limit of a size bracket.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, this is a thermal quilted lifestyle and bankside jacket designed to provide cozy insulation and wind resistance. While the polyester outer shell will easily shed light drizzle or morning mist, we recommend pairing it with a waterproof outer shell if you encounter heavy, prolonged downpours.
Are the pockets secure for valuables?
Yes, all external hand-warmer pockets and the discrete chest pocket feature high-quality zip closures, ensuring your keys, phone, and tackle essentials stay safely secured while you move around the bank.
