Trench coats are luxuries nowadays as we seem to have either scorching hot weather in this country, or bitter frosts. The trench coat (or as my mother would call it, a ‘rain coat’) is for when it’s pouring with rain and yet not that cold. It’s also perfect for commuting where you need something waterproof but also light enough to throw in a cupboard at work.
The Avenue Insulated Long Trench Coat from Helly Hansen is just that – long! You don’t normally get trench coats nowadays that are so long they cover you right down to your mid calves. So long in fact, that I couldn’t get a descent photo of the full length of this coat because it wouldn’t fit into one shot easily! The Avenue Trench Coat is also insulated, with the same colour lining and 60gram insulation. There’s a detachable hood (which is actually quite difficult to find in a trench coat) and it has a belt which comes off for cleaning and is double breasted. Great for when it’s absolutely bucketing down and you can’t hold an umbrella.
There’s also an added bonus of the adjustable cuffs.
This is actually a brilliant coat for Mums who are pushing a pram and can’t hold an umbrella. The double breasted front and the hood make it easier to keep dry underneath and the deep pockets are easy to keep your phone and door keys in.
