Lake District Hooded Rain Jacket with Drawstring Waist
The waist
A hooded rain jacket with drawstring waist
An inner drawstring with neat stoppers pulls the waist in for a feminine shape, or leaves it straight.
The deep hood adjusts at the collar, and a storm flap behind the zip keeps rain out.
Two button flap pockets and a chest zip pocket keep your things dry. It looks tailored rather than sporty, so it suits town as well as the hills.
Named after one of the wettest and most beautiful corners of Britain, the Lake District jacket is made for days when the forecast changes every hour. The hood keeps drizzle off your hair, and the shell sheds light rain so you stay dry on the walk to the station or a stroll around the lake.
The fit
Longer at the back, S to 3XL
It is 72 to 76 cm long, and the back dips lower, keeping you dry when you sit on a bench.
The chest measures 105 cm on the S (UK 8) up to 129 cm on the 2XL (UK 16), with 3XL continuing the grade.
Take your usual size; the drawstring does the shaping. Every measurement is listed in the size guide below, so you can check it against a jacket you own.
The drawstring waist lets you shape the jacket to your figure, so it looks neat rather than boxy, and the slightly longer back covers you when you sit on a damp bench or cycle to work. There is room underneath for a warm jumper on colder days, which makes it useful from early spring right through autumn.
How to wear it
Eight colours
Wear it with leggings and walking boots, or with skinny jeans and ankle boots in town.
The light shell with a little stretch packs small and dries quickly on a peg.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this rain jacket?
It comes in sizes S to XXXL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the rain jacket itself, taken flat: chest, length, shoulder 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.
