Although I was ready to buy a Rains coat from their site, I also came across a seller on eBay who has stacks of seconds of their products (and other brands). Some I wasn’t ready to compromise on but some of the blemishes were negligible and I got the £115 parka for £34 (including postage)! Given I’m wearing it principally for the school run and standing around at football training and matches, it was a well worth trawl through. I also have a Rains backpack which I got for Christmas (not from the eBay place) and that has been brilliant so they are worth full price too.
Oooh that is such a good tip! Form my experience Rains has excellent lasting power (I've had mine for almost 10 years!) so second hand finds on Vinted etc is probably a safe bet too. Thank you for sharing x
Great round up! I've been looking for good rain wear brands to check out. Can I request a round up of "comfy but fashionable" boots? Looking for something I can wear casually to run errands around town but that would also not get ruined splashing through puddles with my son.
