Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Stride Waterproof Parka

I love this parka and have had several comments on how nice it is. The colour and style are perfect. I did have to get the xxs whereas I normally buy xs.

Great jacket, the material looks like it will last. I have not worn it in heavy rain, but it was great in drizzle and wind. it runs a bit large. I am petite and the jacket is longer than shown in the photo, but I like the coverage.

Very well made true to size and most def kept me dry fab quality

I bought this parka to protect me from the rain while on holiday and it did exactly that. As other reviews have said, the parka would benefit from an inside pocket, especially if used for travelling. Good quality, color, fit, length, size of hood, I really cannot fault this jacket..more colors perhaps?

This is the second one of these I have, last one lasted 5yrs. Really useful addition to wardrobe and went for the green this time. Not super warm but roomy enough to have a thick layer under. I am size 12 normally and both the S and M fit but I am busty so the size up to M was a better choice to allow for extra layers and a slightly oversized fit which I prefer. Haven't tested in real downpour yet but my old one. Never let me down so I'm sure this won't either. All in all happy with my purchase and would recommend.

This is a great investment coat. It is a loose style which is great for layering, I brought a medium and I'm a size 12. It hangs well and I have ease of movement, the drawstring waist adds a nice look to this coat and is easily worn as an everyday coat (even when it's not raining). I have been out in heavy downpours and it's completely waterproof. Sleeves are nice and long (I really dislike sleeves that are too short) and can be cinched in for comfort. I love the big pockets- easy to pop keys in etc. I personally prefer front pockets to side ones. A great everyday parka style jacket with the bonus of being waterproof.

I purchased this to walk the dog in, sadly it is too big and a smaller option is not currently available. It's a lovely colour and looks well made. My only criticism is that the cuffs don't tighten enough around my wrist, an extra popper or elasticated cuffs would make for a better fit.

This was my must have jacket for the winter. Practical yet stylish . Comfortable and good quality

Great coat. Good length and hood has good coverage. I'm a size 8 and the xxs fits perfectly.

I bought this Parka a couple of weeks ago and have worn it non stop. It's lightweight, comfortable and looks great. I did get caught in the rain and yes, it us truly waterproof. I'm a large 12, small 14 and a medium is just right.

Great parka - lovely material and fit! Not tested in rain yet but am sure will get lots of wear - I am an 8-10 and chose the XS which is perfect with room for layering when it gets coolers. Love the colour too - green

Love this, I'd say it runs oversized, swapped for the medium.

I bought two, one for me and one for a friend for a Christmas present. I have worn mine and very windproof and so far waterproof. One gripe, is that 1. sleeves very long and I have long arms 2. the buttons at the bottom of the sleeve, need to be moved as they don't close off the cuffs enough, so still a big gap (for me anyway). I could have bought XS, but wanted room to put sweaters under for the winter whilst poo picking the paddocks :-)

Absolutely love this Parka! So pleased I followed previous reviewers advice and sized down. I'm 170cm and true size 12 (SB medium) but ordered a small and it's perfect. Going to love wearing this autumn/winter!

Such a gorgeous coat, great fleecy pockets, waist and hood really adjustable.Love love love it - great length and style. really cool!

Lightweight but warm and waterproof. Looks great and very comfy.

Best waterproof for Welsh weather and dog walking in style.

Gorgeous coat - I'm usually a size medium but a small in this as it does come up large but it's so comfy

Ticks all the boxes. Has kept me dry in persistent rain and has a layer of insulation too.

Beautiful jacket, looks great on, kept me very dry in the rain, drys quickly and have had lots of compliments! As previous reviews said could have done with an inside pocket but otherwise brilliant! Would highly recommend!

I've not worn the coat yet - waiting for the colder weather,

I bought this jacket for walking /casual without looking like a walking jacket. Will get a lot of use from this lovely jacket

Saw this jacket online and fell in love with it. The sizes run a bit large, so I am usually a medium, but went for a small - still quite roomy, but I guess during Autumn/Winter it will be find with jumpers underneath. Really lightweight, great colour and good length. I highly recommend.

Waterproof at its best. I have had so many compliments

This jacket feels like a pleasure to put on. Comfy lining, ideal length, great weight for seasonal transitions. Big fan. I think I'm a size 10-12 and the small fits me perfectly even when I put my gilet (another SB purchase) on underneath. Love it.
