My new waterproof coat

Tried but not fully tested today. This coat is said to be waterproof, breathable and windproof and on a crisp, cold winter’s day, it was certainly warm and kept out the chilly wind.  I await a rainy walk to see if the third and possibly most important claim of this jacket stands up to the test.

Perhaps a white walking jacket is a foolish choice, given the muddy routes we often find ourselves on, but I love the colour. Most of my walking attire is dark and this jacket is probably the safest element of my growing walking wardrobe, especially during the dark winter evenings.

Here’s the coat in action, accompanied by my new favourite wooly hat, for which my ears are very thankful.
