LIGHTWEIGHT SWING RAINSHELL

I was so looking forward to having this beautifully-styled raincoat for wet days but, for the money paid, it is a disappointment.

The hood doesn't have a peak at all and feels too small, cords are flimsy ... as a result rain protection for face is negligible.
Also the zips on the pockets feel flimsy and don't run easily. Both are important details of any raincoat and really let this coat down.
On the upside, the magnetised catches are super-effective and the back pleat and swing style make the coat dressier than a typical raincoat.
I emailed customer service about the hood and zips - no response. Surely customers can expect better. I won't be back.

Great raincoat. Extremely breathable, super waterproof and very stylish

The sleeves are cut VERY narrow, which restricts the use of this jacket/coat. Seriously, you could not wear a light jacket and even a sweater would be a problem, so definitely a summer item. If the sleeves were more accommodating, I'd give this 5/5 only gave two as the longer I have it, the more aware I am of this issue.

Love the cut and versatility of my Alchemy coat, and especially love the cuffs, the back pleat and the super-quick, magnetised fasteners.

I can't give it 5 stars because the basic, peak-less hood is a disappointment that is hard to overlook. Other comparable rainjackets at this price point feature hood with small peaks that provide effective shelter in the rain.

Anybody who wears a cap with their rainjacket wouldn't be affected ...

Very nice cut.
