Slimline Parka Number Two
This is a great coat. Waterproof and warm and super protective when out in the elements. I walk everywhere and need a high-quality weatherproof coat. For reference, I am 5ft 7” and size 14/16 UK. The large parka fits perfectly. The interior fleece is beautifully soft and snuggly. I love the longer length (the much shorter Evo length puts me off buying it) because with the coat all zipped up and wellies on, you are completely shielded from the rain, I’ve knocked a star off because of the excessively long arms., as other reviewers have already pointed out. You need to adjust the cut slightly in terms of male/female purchasers. Calling one coat a women’s Slimline parks and an exactly identical coat a man’s parka is misleading. Obviously, women come in all shapes and sizes, but in general there are male-female proportional differences that have not been taken into account. Another minor gripe: I’ve bought two of these coats now and both arrived horribly wrinkled. The wrinkles didn’t fall out and I had to faff about trying to iron it without causing any damage! And, as others have also pointed out, the front pockets are badly positioned and too small/shallow. I would also use extra interior pockets. With a few tweaks, the Slimline Evo Parka would be perfect.
