“Very pleased with this item. Perfect fit for me. Nice and warm without being bulky”
Summer may be in full swing but autumn will be here before we know it. Any bargain hunter will know that shopping slightly out of season is the best way to score pieces with a significant discount, and this is exactly the case with one particular Mountain Warehouse coat.
Shoppers are rushing to buy the Florence Extra Long Padded Winter Jacket and it’s not hard to see why. Typically £112, the jacket has been slashed by 62% in the Amazon Prime Day sale, which runs until Friday, July 11.

While it’s not going to be the option for combating a downpour, the jacket is water-resistant enough for when you’re caught in a quick shower. The lightweight construction means that it can be packed down easily while travelling or on hikes, and the microfibre filling provides excellent heat retention, making it a perfect synthetic alternative to down.
On Amazon, the jacket is available in sizes four to 24, all available in a classic black colourway. The jacket also comes in khaki, now £37.82, burgundy, £41.68, blue, £49.99, navy, £46.31, and dusky purple, available for £76.99.
Elsewhere, Debenhams has slashed the price of the Drawstring Waist Quilted Padded Puffer Coat by 71%, now £21 down from £75. The perfect blend of practicality and style, the long silhouette and quilted design offer ample warmth for chilly days, while the drawstring waist allows for a flattering, adjustable fit.

Back on Amazon, the Florence Extra Long Padded Winter Jacket boasts an overall star-rating of 4.2 out of five based on more than 20.30 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “Very pleased with this item. Perfect fit for me. Nice and warm without being bulky.”
A second wrote: “I bought this jacket for spring and autumn when I don’t want to wear my full dark black winter coat. This is a great jacket – light but very warm, soft and comfortable with a flattering shape. Not fully waterproof but fine with light showers/drizzle. Particularly nice if you don’t like big bulky coats.”
“Lovely coat, extremely lightweight but very warm,” somebody else said. ” I must admit I was sceptical at first when I felt how light the coat was, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wore it round the Christmas markets and it rained all day. It kept me warm and dry. Would definitely recommend. Very flattering too.”
One shopper, however, hailed the Florence Extra Long Padded Winter Jacket as ‘not value for money’ and gave it a three-star review. It reads: “This coat is ok but definitely not worth the price being asked for it. Not value for money.”
But another loved their latest Amazon purchase, adding: “Lovely warm padded jacket but not too heavy or bulky. Material is soft. Length is great for keeping warm and arms are long enough to cover wrists. Highly recommend. Lightweight, easy to pack up for short breaks. I went a size up as wanted to layer up under jacket.”
