Finding a reliable coat that won’t make you overheat in the summertime can be challenging, but it’s essential if you live in Cornwall like I do. You absolutely need a lightweight, waterproof jacket to keep you dry when sudden showers and rainy spells are almost always forecast at least once per week. And I believe I’ve found the ideal one, which has arrived in style this summer.

This Kathmandu Women’s waterproof jacket Seeker 2.5L has become my go-to for dog walks in the rain or running errands in the summer showers. It’s been incredibly effective at preventing out-of-nowhere downpours while remaining light and thin, which is ideal when the temperatures are still high.

Without sacrificing practicality or style, this waterproof jacket will allow you to face any kind of weather in comfort. Whether you’re heading for a summer hike or shopping in the park, it’s a top choice for all outdoor activities. When the weather is turbulent enough for me to need a jacket to keep dry on warm days, I have found it to be especially useful for dog walks.

This jacket has a slim-fit and short length that prevents it from flapping around in the wind and doesn’t get in your way while you’re on the move, and it comes in a form-fitting style that makes it ideal for outdoor adventures.

Though it doesn’t have the two side pockets I’ve come to adore in my normal coats, this jacket does come with a convenient zip chest pocket that can easily fit my iPhone. So, I can keep listening to my favourite tunes or podcasts while on the move, with a safe and secure place to keep my mobile close at hand.

I adore the feature because I have relatively short arms and can’t stand loose sleeves getting in the way. It also has thumb fastenings that keep the sleeves at wrist length. My go-to jacket has a snug hood that effectively covers my entire head, keeping my hair dry in case of unexpected showers. The hood can also be removed, giving me plenty of wearability on dry days as well as rainy days.

This super light jacket is a staple I’ll swear by as we enter the fall, and it comes in XS to L (I typically wear a UK size Medium). While practical enough to shield me from the rain and chilly winds, it’s light and portable, and it won’t make me sweat or feel burdened as the season slowly fades.

For £147.31, I can get my new favorite jacket for the spring through the fall from Direct Running. This Kathmandu Women’s Trailhead Stretch 2.5-layer Rain Jacket is available on Amazon for £129.98 if you’re happy to purchase a similar style but prefer to shop elsewhere.
