Have had my Mac for over a year or so now and still very happy with it – stylish enough to wear to work but the performance of a sports jacket. Fab for airplane travel – breathable and stretchy. Am here to get another one :-). Only feature I would like to add is a 2 way zipper – please consider doing this, it would stop the jackets from bunching up when riding or biking!

After months of searching, found the perfect coat, stylish and different from the crow. Fabric feels lovely and will keep me warm w/o over-heating and, of course, dry!
Great customer service: brochure and fabric samples sent v quickly; sent me 2 sizes to try and no postage to return the unwanted coat; free TechWash samples and helpful advice on how to look after the garment. Proper customer service – Thank You

I’d been looking for a smart mac with a hood for a good few years before I stumbled across this brand. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have worn it in all weathers – it’s light enough for summer wear without making me overheat, even when walking fast, but teamed with warmer under layers, worked for me during the winter too. It has kept me dry in some torrential downpours (water literally pouring off the front of the hood – I was out in it for 20 minutes plus on this occasion and dry as a bone when I took the coat off!!)
I’d recommend to anyone who commutes on foot. I was almost put off by the price, but can confirm now that after a year of almost constant wear, it was worth every penny!
Oh – and their customer service team are also great, friendly and helpful – which is sadly an unusual phenomenon these days.

Lovely waterproof black trench, looks smart on. Very light but warm, however the nude coloured lining makes it look a bit cheaper than it is. Would much better preferred if it was black too.

I have just bought the mac version and I have never seen such attention to detail. It is so comfortable and looks gorgeous. I love the fact the hood is detachable and can be stowed in a pocket. My only complaint is I would love a really bright colour – purple ideally! Customer service is fantastic too.

Just wore my new waterproof black trench to work this morning, on my bike. Absolutely amazing! I almost want it to rain in order to fully road test it, but couldn’t resist a quick road test this morning in cold but bright weather. Usually short sleeves (merino top) under a coat as light as this feels, my arms would be too cold at 6 deg, but I was just right temperature wise, and didn’t overheat. I wore with my usual bright red scarf and the whole combo looked really smart on my commute and walking into work. I may finally have found the holy grail of a smart waterproof coat that works on the bike, for which I have been searching for years.
The only thing I would add for future iterations is either an internal pocket (though it might spoil the lines) or a zip to one of the front pockets, under the flap. The pockets are quite deep but I keep my Travel Pass in there (I do a multi mode commute with a Brompton).

At last, a stylish waterproof and windproof Mac! It looks smart to wear to the office or on the school and nursery run. Rebecca was an absolute star helping me try different sizes until I happily found the size 3 fitted me perfectly (I’m normally a size 12). Now I need to save my pennies for the city walker jacket! The customer service I received was absolutely top notch.

I’ve had my mac for almost 2 years now and it looks new despite frequent use. It is lightweight, waterproof, stretchy with a lovely texture. This Mac folds up into a small space yet does not crease. Great for travels and very versatile. Highly recommended.

This Mac has been the Best Buy of my life! We have had non stop rain here for weeks and I have worn my Mac every day and am loving it. It is stylish, practical and easy to wear. A fantastic coat!

Had my parka for a couple of years – I live in it! Thank goodness for the Nicwax rejuvenating treatments working a treat. Received many complements, no-one believes that it is a high performance garment because it’s just too stylish. Loving the expanded colour palette, just need to decide on which style next. Keep up the good work Protected Species.

I have been searching for a mac like this for years!!! I’m so very happy with my stylish, versatile mac. It has proven to be waterproof, warm and such a good fit, with lovely little details. I even had a complete stranger ask where I bought it from.

Lovely rain mac to wear all year round. It’s light but cosy and keeps me dry in our erratic climate. A year on and it still looks brand new.
I was unsure about sizing and so contacted the company who couldn’t have been more helpful.
Would recommend without hesitation!

I am very happy with my Cityscape Blue mac. It’s warm and stylish – just what I was looking for! I can dress it up or down. I am very impressed by how warm it is and I love the waterproof fabric.
Would definitely recommend!

Super happy with my Blue Mac – it’s not too bright or electric thankfully and the material is soft and doesn’t feel like a raincoat. Have yet to use it in the rain but I’m sure it’s perfectly fine.
I wanted something lightweight, waterproof and stylish and suitable for the current warm winter to take the kids to school and work . This checklist proved difficult to fulfil with brands sold in department stores and the high street. Thankfully (strangely) I found a recommendation for this brand on one of the mum sites and am glad I did!

Love my mac. Its stylish and flattering, comfortable AND waterproof. Just what every working/rugby/football Mum needs!

I absolutely love my Mac. I bought it in blue which is a change from my usual black and have received lots of comments from work colleagues. It’s been up to the challenge of recent heavy rain and kept me lovely and dry. The rain just beads on it. I don’t fasten the belt as the zip and buttons are enough for me. The fabric is so soft and smooth. In summary – it’s fab!

I bought the Mac in blue. The colour is lovely, smart but a bit different. I have worn it in wind and heavy rain and it has kept me warm and dry. It really is wind and waterproof without looking as though I’m off hillwalking. I love the fact that it feels soft and lightweight – none of the noisy rustling you get with many waterproof jackets. I am a size 10 and the small fits perfectly. On cold, wet winter days I have worn it with an extra layer and it’s been perfect. Overall, probably the best raincoat I have ever had – what’s not to love!

Bought the Mac in Black and wore it while in New York. I’m delighted as it is light weight, fully waterproof and warm at the same time. It looks chic and I’ve continued wearing it since coming home and am now thinking of purchasing another. All in all a superb buy and well worth the money.
Louise (verified owner) –
I love my new mac. Was in desperate need of a smart jacket for walk to work that kept me warm and dry and looked good! The white mac is perfect. I love the hidden zip and the buttons are not sewn on so no risk of losing them! I love the stretch material and it looks so sophisticated. Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it!

Having purchased the parka last year and loved it, I decided to invest in a Mac which I’m sure will become as valuable addition to my wardrobe. I was a bit unsure about buying ‘white’ – though I loved the look of the ‘atmosphere’ wear end mac, however, its actually a very soft, warm, creamy white and very flattering on. There are a lot of macs available in the stores just now but the protected species mac does feel that bit more special. The stretch and the feel of the fabric and the lining set these jackets apart in terms of comfort and practicality – I often roll my parka into a bag ready to whip it out when I need it and it looks just as good. In terms of sizing I usually wear a uk 12-14 and I felt the size 3 was the best fit for me. I would definitely recommend Protected Species as a good investment buy – if it’s going to rain we might as well look good!

Beautiful classic coat that feels luxurious to wear.

My West End Mac has been my best buy for 2014. I bought it at the beginning of the year and it has been my ‘go to’ coat for Spring, Summer & Autumn. It looks great with everything. Smart enough for meetings, light enough for travel. Keeps the rain off and looks just as good with jeans – love, love love
Judy –
I love my West End mac! It’s very smartly cut and thoughtfully designed, as beautiful as any high-end designer trench coat – but far better when bad weather strikes. I especially love how versatile it is, with a belt that can be tied up in back or cinched round your waist, buttons that can be done up or left open, and removable hood. It looks great and is ready for anything!
Susan Crawford –
My husband bought me my West End mac and I absolutely love it. It’s smart and stylish and has a lovely belt which cinches in your waist. It’s very practical and means I no longer need to use an umbrella which is great. I can dress it up or down with jeans and smart boots or trainers and I wear it to work a lot.
Jenny –
I am so chuffed with my trench coat….feels amazing on, looks fab and has had many admirers already! Certified that its waterproof too!
Julie –
Mac arrived yesterday and got well tested today with wild wind and rain. It passed with flying colours, I am really impressed that it looks smart for office wear but keeps the rain off for the cycle to the station.
Mary –
Can’t believe how light this coat is. Great fit, love the styling. Fabulous idea to have a detachable hood. Really waterproof, just what you need for our weather!

Beautiful fit, gorgeous fabric, truly wonderful Mac. Like they say – bring on the rain, I can’t wait!
