Tried on a few coats in the shop

Tried on a few coats in the shop, but they didn't have the colour I liked in my size, so I ordered it online, knowing it would fit. Which it did. It was also slightly cheaper online ( sales ) . Arrived quickly.

Poor quality rubbish at stupid prices. Bought a pair of "waterproof" gloves which let water through very easily.

Despite several requests for further information regarding this issue, we have received no response from you.

We note you have left an identical review for Sealskinz Waterproof Gloves, which we do not currently stock.

We also note there is no record of you having ordered from our website in the past.

We await your response as we are eager to resolve this issue.

All the best,

Product not accurately described, poor customer service

I purchased a raincoat in my usual size 8 and was so disappointed with it. I'm of average height. The sleeves were so short, at least 4 inches up from wrist area. This wasn't advertised as a petite raincoat but it most certainly is. What makes it worse is that when I called to discuss this the customer service was not helpful or willing to refund return costs. I need to return it and asked for a courtesy free return label as it just isn't what I expected. I wouldn't have purchased if description was accurate. I especially bought an Irish product to support home brands and as a family we have been loyal to Portwest. Never again!!

Dear Sheila,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience. We take great pride in our products and customer service, so it’s disappointing to learn we fell short of your expectations. Your comments regarding the sizing and description of the raincoat will be reviewed to ensure such issues don’t happen again.

Best regards,
Finn.

Sizing is completely off

Being that I'm at the top end of sizing I managed to size up by one size (as recommended by the sizing guide).
When the jacket arrived I could barely fit it over my shoulders, with no hope or dream of zipping it up or lifting my arms!
Since I'm purchasing OUTERWEAR I was naively thinking that I would be able to fit clothing underneath - not a snowballs chance...

Ladies be aware that if you're like me and in the top range of sizing - perhaps this range of jackets is not for you.
I've sent the jacket back.
