Overview

• Next continues to promote its Chocolate Brown Shower Resistant Padded Puffer Hooded Mid Length Coat at £64, positioned as a shower‑resistant, mid‑length staple with a hood, pockets and zip fastening.
• Recent local reports quote buyers calling it "lovely and warm" that "looks more expensive than it is," with fit generally described as true to size.
• Some reviewers say the collar feels very bulky and report returning the coat for that reason.
• Next has reduced the Rochelle Humes Neutral Shower Resistant Padded Coat from £68 to £32, a cropped, boxy jacket made from recycled polyester with popper fastenings, offered in petite and regular fits.
• Coverage places Next’s options alongside alternatives including John Lewis’s £139 water‑repellent belted trench and Lands’ End’s waterproof trench discounted to about £72 with a code.
