The verdict

I really like the longer length of this jacket, making it ideal for rainy days and since being sent this jacket, boy have there been a lot of rainy days! I see it as a bit of a hybrid coat, technical enough to wear when out walking, but the styling is versatile enough to be worn in urban settings on a day to day basis.

Once on too, I think it actually looks a lot funkier than it does on the Weird Fish website and I love the coral detailing of the logo, zips and zip pulls against the bright boysenberry purple/pink of the jacket.

it’s not a particularly thick coat, so on chilly days you’ll definitely need a fleece or similar underneath it to keep warm, but as a lightweight and easily packable waterproof that also looks really good (I’ve received multiple compliments on my jacket from family and friends), then the Avesta is a really excellent buy.

What I like most

• The colour of the jacket is fantastic!
• The fit of the jacket is great and I love the longer length
• Thin, making it ideal for warmer, rainy weather, but also ideal worn on top of a fleece or jumper in colder wet weather
• Packs away very small

Thank you to Weird Fish who sent the jacket to me to test. We were not paid for this review.
