I’ve been on and off road testing this colourful waterproof from Trepass. It’s the Florissant Womens Waterproof Jacket and I picked the sorbet colourway. I’ve been wearing this on the school run – it’s just the thing as it often seems to rain at half past three, but I’ve also been putting it through its paces out on the hills.
Let me talk you through the jacket.
- It’s a lined hood that you can fold away if you want to. I must admit I never bother with this feature, but it does give the jacket a cleaner look if you do. You can adjust the hood to get a nice close fit and there are two poppers on the chin guard to protect your face from the worst of the weather.
- The main fastening is a zip with a popper top and bottom and a flap to velcro over. This provides extra protection from the rain and wind.
- There’s a cosy soft lining around the neck which is nice against your skin. The rest of the jacket has a breathable fabric lining to keep you fresh.
- Around the hemline you get a good fit because of the adjustable drawcord. The cuffs are elasticated and have an adjustable velcro strap.
- There are zip pockets so you won’t lose your keys. Always worth having – I once lost my keys without realising on a hill walk and was very lucky to come across them when we retraced our steps.
- From a technical point of view it can claim to be waterproof to 5000mm. It benefits from taped seams which help stop moisture from getting through the stitching of the jacket. It has a breathability rating of 5000mvp.
I’ve been impressed with this jacket. It’s perfect for wearing on the school run or doing your errands because it looks so good and it keeps you dry. It’s also weatherproof and breathable enough to take on a longer walk in the country. I often wear a waterproof jacket rather than bother with an umbrella, especially in the spring or autumn when you don’t need a heavy coat. I can see me getting a lot of wear from this Trepass jacket.
must invest in a good waterproof soon!
Oh this sounds like a really good investment x
I certainly need a good waterproof. Looks really good on you and perfect for the school run
Also been told this make is very good I have not bought anything from them yet.
I’ve heard great things about this brand, you look great! x

This sounds like a practical addition to any coat cupboard to me, I love the colour
This sounds good, am looking for a waterproof jacket
I have one similar to this and it is great for winter when it is really wet and I always take it on our UK holidays as it always tends to be wet and windy. I really like the colour of yours x
Looks fabulous – we have just got the kids next years coats from them in the sale
It looks great and is really practical. It would be great for walking the dog as well as the school run.
Great choice of colour; I really like this shade, it is a happy one 🙂
What a great looking waterproof the colour is amazing as well. x
This looks very practical – it’s always good to have a waterproof coat if you live in the UK!
I really could do with a practical coat like this for the school run! Always needing to grab as well as holding onto three kids isn’t ideal! 😉
I love their jackets – really weatherproof for school runs or walks in winter.
Great colour! I much prefer wearing a waterproof coat than carrying an umbrella. Lovely jacket 🙂
This sounds like a great waterproof and I love the comfort detail such as a lining around the neck. X
I am lacking a good waterproof jacket at the moment. I can see something like that being SO useful and I agree, it’s so much easier to wear a good jacket than have to carry around an umbrella.
Hayden has a Trepass jacket – Its brilliant. I need one for myself.
Thanks for sharing hun.
