Hunter's Rain-Ready Summer Coats

We were surprised as you were. 

After a seeming 100-day absence, the sun put in an appearance on a bank holiday, brightening the lives of intrepid outdoor explores and landlords with large pub gardens. Ice cream dripped, grass was trampled and the occasional flip of a flip flop could be heard. 

But we're not about to recommend you fill your wardrobe with short sleeves: we know how fickle our summer is, which is why we've taken a liking to Hunter's new outerwear collection.

Best known for their mud-loving boots, Hunter have expanded on their rain-dogging range with a selection of vinyl windcheaters, ponchos and waxed jackets. 

Waterproof and laden with fasteners and pockets, the ponchos (£140) and windcheaters (£130) seemed squarely at the summer's festival crowd.

The fitted cuts of the officer's jacket (£290) and parka (£320) provide the same functional waterproofing, but with a touch more design flair.

We would say that they're nice enough to warrant the return of some drizzle, but no coat is ever that good.
