£5 Bargains?

Post by hotwilly »

Stumbled on these two today on the web

No idea what they are like but the black patent PVC swing raincoat scores 5 from those who have submitted reviews

Swing Raincoat;

I came across this site in the summer last year and they had four or five PU/PVC macs including some longer ones in red, black or silver, but when i went to order a week or so later only the silver one was left in Large and looking at the comments things do seem to come up small, so i gave it a miss.

Can't go wrong at those prices though can you.

What sizes did you manage to get? Were they true to size?

They only had small ones left so I guess its difficult to judge

The Silver one measures, Length 29, Arms 17, Across Chest 18.5

The Black one measures, Length 30, Arms 17, Across Chest 19

The Small Size Black Swing 'Raincoat' measures, Length 22, Arms 17, Across Chest 19

Hope this helps
