Are SuperDry Windcheater coats...

Razor-BladE · 29 Nov 2009 at 12:13

waterproof? Or just showerproof?
Need a quick answer

Thanks in advance.

Not all of them.

I don't know the facts but if i was looking for a fully waterproof coat, SuperDry wouldn't be the brand I was looking at. I know mine starts to absorb water if its more than a light shower

That's quite ironic

Razor-BladE · 29 Nov 2009 at 12:32

Hmmm...
Do they keep the cold out well?

Style over substance.

showerproof.
The jackets are nice and warm(the one with 3 layers)

Some Superdry jackets are ok in showers etc but if the weather for the last few days is anything to go by I'd advise something by Barbour - probs more expensive but your paying for quality with them

That's the most ridiculous jacket I've ever seen, mate had one and it had like 6 bloody zips for closing the damn thing !

Neither, I got drenched walking home last night. It temporarily keeps out light rain until it finally soaks through

For such a thin jacket it does keep you warm with the aid from the high colar keeping your neck warm, the gloves on the sleeves and the multiple layers it creates on your chest

Sounds a bit like amateur bondage.

While Barbour are usually really good quality if you're looking for a fashion jacket (as picking something by Superdry suggests) then they wouldn't be the first name that comes to mind.

The jacket should have a waterproofing (and probably breathability) rating on it if you look at the label.

They look pap in real life though imo. Look a bit cheap.

waterproof to 30 meters - try it and see.

Nix · 29 Nov 2009 at 17:06

What an odd looking jacket.

With all those zips, I can only hope that you don't catch on fire.

David41 · 29 Nov 2009 at 17:20

Surprisingly warm for what feels like a thin jacket, but as others have said, no good at keeping the rain out I'm afraid.

i found with every piece of superdry clothing i've ever bought, they break VERY quickly - my coat has a hole in the pocket and the stupid hanging bit in the neck is also coming away. jeans - the belt lining is coming away, t-shirts seams coming away. they're expensive rubbish tbh, never buying superdry again
