Holywell Bay Waterproof Puffer Coat

I bought this in London before Nordstrom had them available to purchase. (I bought the petite). This is the absolutely best winter coat. Not only is it windproof and waterproof, but like their website says it is breathable! You won’t bake when you go indoors and unzip. Other cool features - the way the neck snaps, you might not even need a scarf. It also works well with a scarf. The snaps fully cover the zipper to keep wind out. Easy to zipper (two way zipper also) with gloves on, or just use the snaps if you don’t have time to zip. Since the snaps cover the zipper completely no wind gets through. I wear this all the time in London, and if I don’t feel like carrying an umbrella I just put the hood on. The hood is also removable and can be adjusted tighter. It works in 46 degrees but wear warmer layers underneath like wool leggings/base layers and wool tops. If they ever come out with a heavier one, I will absolutely buy that for temps below 45. Nordstrom please carry the petite version. Make sure you maintain the coat the way sea salt Cornwall says on their website - use the nikwax products they list and it will maintain its waterproof and breathability. This is an A line coat and generously sized - I have a uk 12 petite / us 8 and it’s big enough to have layers, some of their other rain jackets are more fitted - this one is not fitted.

I was excited to get this coat. It was very lightweight and didn’t warrant the price tag. The buttons also lay weird as it’s more asymmetrical in the front which looked strange too. Returned :(
