Buxton Soft-Shell Hooded Rain Jacket
How to spot the original Buxton
Two small perforated diamond panels sit on either side of the high collar, just below the hood toggles, a distinctive detail that lets a little air out when it is zipped up.
Inside, the hood and body are lined in soft grey on every colour, so the pastel shell keeps its clean look and the jacket slides smoothly over a fleece.
Colour-matched zips run up the front and along two deep vertical pockets set into the chest seam, with tonal pullers, so nothing interrupts the clean pastel surface.
The fabric
A soft-shell hooded rain jacket that feels soft
Soft shell is smooth and slightly stretchy, moves with you and does not rustle.
The close weave blocks the wind and lets light rain bead up and roll away, and a smooth lining makes it comfortable.
The lined hood adjusts with a drawcord, and the collar zips high. It keeps its smart shape all day and does not crease in a bag.
The Buxton jacket has a soft-shell feel that is gentle and quiet, unlike crinkly rain jackets. It keeps light rain and wind off on walks, commutes and weekend outings, and it feels comfortable enough to wear all day long.
The fit
Relaxed, S to 4XL
The chest measures 110 cm on the S up to 134 cm on the 4XL, and the length is 66 to 78 cm, covering the hips.
Deep zip pockets keep your phone safe when you sit or bend.
There is room for a fleece underneath. Every measurement is listed in the size guide below, so you can compare it with a jacket you already own.
The hood gives quick cover from drizzle, and the relaxed fit leaves room for a fleece or knit underneath. The size range from S to 4XL offers a comfortable fit for many body shapes. The soft-shell fabric also has a little stretch, so it moves comfortably when you reach, climb or carry bags, and it does not rustle with every step like crinkly rain jackets. Deep pockets keep your hands warm and hold your essentials securely. It is a calm, comfortable jacket that you will wear more often than you expect.

With eight soft colours, including glacier blue, light yellow, mint, orange and lilac, it brings a gentle brightness to grey days. A damp cloth lifts most small marks; afterwards just hang it up to dry. It is a lovely, practical jacket for every season. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves walking in all weathers.
From Maria & Denis
A soft-shell hooded rain jacket feels softer and quieter than a crinkly waterproof, yet it still blocks the wind and sheds the rain — the jacket you will actually enjoy wearing every day.
Eight soft colours, from glacier blue and lilac to orange and black, in sizes S to 4XL. It feels more like a soft jacket than a raincoat.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this rain jacket?
It comes in sizes S to 4XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the rain jacket itself, taken flat: chest, length and sleeve. Measure a similar rain jacket you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this rain jacket?
Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth. For a full clean, a gentle 30°C wash in a laundry bag or a dry cleaner — check the label inside. Hang on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape; brush lightly after wear.
How do I keep a rain jacket shedding water?
Skip fabric softener, which coats the shell and stops rain beading. Wash it gently with the zips closed and hang it to dry. If rain stops beading after many washes, a spray-on or wash-in reproofer from any outdoor shop brings the finish back.
What should I wear under this rain jacket?
A long sleeve top or a light jumper on mild days, and a fleece or a chunky knit when it is cold. To check there is room underneath, measure a rain jacket you own across the chest and compare it with the size chart on this page.
