Protected Species Reviews 

Absolutely game changer of a waterproof coat. Contacted customer services for some advice regarding size and thickness and Rebecca replied promptly and was really helpful As someone who has bought several waterproof jackets (none quite right!) and most left me hot and sweaty!!!! After Rebecca’s advice I went for a large in the Harrington jacket (Size 14 but prefer coats a bit roomy to allow for layers. Arrived within 3 days, really nicely packaged and wow!!! Stylish and so lovely and lightweight. Tested it out this morning in heavy rain but humid and stayed 100% dry and best thing wasn’t hot and sweaty!!! Hood is adjustable too and poppers on sleeve to help keep dry. I have finally found the holy grail of waterproof jackets. 100% recommend

I’d like to tell you how happy I am with my two new jackets – they’re absolutely the best things I’ve ever bought. The perfectly thought-out design and the stunning colours: the velvety dark blue and the wonderful red with a dash of sunset orange... I can’t wait for the hot summer weather to come to an end so I can wear them – every morning I’ll be wondering which of the two to choose, or perhaps the light blue commuter coat after all? I just love them and I smile every time my gaze fall upon them.
A big Thank you for designing such wonderful garments and at the same time making the world 100% better on rainy windy days and keep us stylish and warm!
The customer service is wonderful and supportive. If you ever wonder which size you should choose, they are here to help.
I ordered on Tuesday, July 28th, from Switzerland and I had the package in my hands on Friday, July 31st. Just amazing!

I have 3 different items and always praised the company/clothing but unfortunately I got completely soaked wearing my commuter coat today. Admittedly, I have had this coat from 2023 but could count on the one hand the number of times this particular one has been worn. I had a very good experience with my first purchase which prompted me to order other items. Sadly I won’t be purchasing any more but as I said the other coat and jacket have always been fine so I guess I’ve just been unlucky with this one.

Delighted to add another PS piece to my wardrobe. I ordered my first coat in 2014 when my last child was born, and have worn it since. It is still as good as new, however being a Mac it was quite 'pretty'. Other more outdoorsy pieces from different brands have fallen short of expectations, and so Im happy to have a reason to buy another piece from Rebecca. My friends and I all adore your raincoats and our only complaint is that they last for so long that we have no cause to replace them!

The olive green parka is just stunning and unlike any other waterproof coat I have had. It’s so sylish with great attention to detail and made of soft, drapey fabric with added stretch. I bought it in the midst of a mini heatwave, so haven’t put it to the test yet, but I also wanted to draw attention to the amazing customer service I received. When the first coat I bought turned out to be a little snug (for reference, I’m probably a 10-12 and found that the 12 was a better fit to allow for layers), I asked about the best way to exchange for the next size up. After a couple of friendly and helpful emails I was sorted out with a replacement the very next day after the original was returned – really exceptional.

Protected Species is the type of company you want to buy from. Their products (I have the Bomber and Commuter) are well designed in soft comfortable fabric and tasteful shades. Commuter is a little snug so would suggest sizing up. Bomber M/L doesn’t swamp a size 12. Orders were received the following day. Customer service is excellent.

I enquired about sizing for the olive green parka. The size I was after was out of stock and I wondered if the next one down would suit. Quick reply and was told that, because of the style and cut, probably not. I thought this was very unselfish so I kept checking back. Just one came back into stock in the size I wanted. It was perfect. Well made, stylish and different. The small size would not have fit.
Excellent service from a lovely company.

I had a coat from protected species which I wore every day for 6 years and decided I’d like a new one to replace it, as it’s the best waterproof coat I ever had. The new one is even better if anything! Completely waterproof, breathable, comfortable (slightly stretchy so you can move and not stiff) and above all stylish! The fabric drapes really nicely so it’s flattering and the cut is beautiful. I normally hate waterproof coats, they’re so sporty and ugly- but this one is perfection. The customer service is also great!

After wearing my Protected Species raincoat through multiple seasons in London's unpredictable weather, I'm extremely impressed. As a hiker, I know what to look for in technical waterproof gear, and this coat’s 15,000 / 10,000 membrane has kept me dry in everything from heavy downpours to blustery showers. The breathability means it’s comfortable for both short errands and longer walks, and despite regular use it still looks brand new.

Beyond its performance, the cut is flattering and well thought‑out. It layers nicely over sweaters without feeling bulky and looks smart enough for city life. I appreciate the quality of the materials and the attention to detail in the stitching and finish. Overall, it delivers on its promise of high-level waterproof protection while also being stylish—exactly what I was looking for.

I couldn’t have asked for a more timely and efficient service which matched the fabulous quality of my jacket
Thank you for being great Debbie

Excellent customer service and advice with an excellent website with great images and description. I have several jackets from Protected Species and I always get so many compliments. All my coats stay looking amazing even when I’ve thrown in the back of my car or travelled with them.

I bought the Odyssey coat for my partner's birthday - as a Golfer who is very familiar with waterproof clothing, I have to say this is one of the most stunning waterproof coats I have ever seen. She pretty much goes everywhere in this coat - a complete saviour on a recent rainy trip away to Belgium. Looking forward to their menswear collection!

I needed something smart for a work trip that took me from freezing temperatures (New York in January!) to a much warmer climate (Orlando). I bought the Odyssey in a Olive green, love this colour and it goes with everything I own. It packed down to nothing in my cabin bag and was oversized enough to go over my down coat, kept me warm and dry. I even wore it during an unexpected downpour in Florida, it's super lightweight and floaty, really comfortable. I love the shape of it, I don't feel like Im wearing a technical jacket which is always a bonus. I will be buying more from this brand.

I needed a windproof and waterproof coat for travelling to a cold country. I did some research and bought a Protected Species raincoat. It's lined, and the material is fluid rather than stiff. Best of all it performs, unlike my previous raincoat which leaked. I feel confident it because it looks stylish, and I get loads of compliments and often get asked where I bought it. I'm getting loads of wear out of it.

I recently brought a trench coat from Protected species. It is absolutely gorgeous. Love everything about it. It is an awesome investment for Seattle weather.

After doing much research for a waterproof, breathable - yet still stylish jacket/ coat, I ordered The Odyssey. Wore it in proper rain for a 3 mile (unplanned) walk and was thrilled to find I arrived home completely dry and non- sweaty. Absolutely no regrets with this purchase - I love it!

I bought a parka from this company 3 months ago. The coat is stylish and waterproof and a great colour. It is everything that the website claims and I am really pleased with it. I particularly like the fact the hood can be stowed away in the collar. I was given a 10% discount as this was my first order. I would definitely buy from them again.

Beyond excellent. Stumbled across this site, looking for a lightweight summer, waterproof coat, without looking like I was going hiking!!! Checked here for reviews before I ordered but nothing, so took a bit of a gamble. Am I glad I did. Super fast deliver and the coat I chose, the Tour Storm, is exceptional. A lovely shape, material, breathable, waterproof, doesn’t crease and nothing sticks to it, fluff, dog hairs etc. Absolutely made up 😃.
