Jodie Kidd & Davina McCall’s Favorite Waterproof Coat

Jodie Kidd and Davina McCall Both Love This ‘Practical and Cool’ Waterproof Coat

When it comes to British weather, finding a jacket that survives a downpour without sacrificing style is the ultimate fashion challenge. However, it seems two of the UK’s favorite style icons, Jodie Kidd and Davina McCall, have found the holy grail of outerwear. The duo has been spotted sporting the same "practical and cool" waterproof coat, sparking a surge in interest for the brand behind the look: Protected Species.

Style Meets Substance

The coat in question is the Protected Species City Walker, a sleek, high-performance parka that looks more like a high-end fashion piece than traditional hiking gear. Both Kidd and McCall are known for their active, outdoorsy lifestyles—Kidd with her passion for classic cars and country living, and McCall with her relentless fitness journey—making them the perfect ambassadors for "commuter-chic" tech-wear.

The appeal of the coat lies in its ability to bridge the gap between a rugged outdoor shell and a sophisticated city trench. Unlike the "boil-in-the-bag" plastic feel of many waterproofs, this garment uses a unique four-way stretch fabric that is both highly breathable and incredibly soft to the touch.

Why the Stars are Fans

Davina McCall has frequently championed "investment pieces" that support her busy schedule, while Jodie Kidd has praised the brand for its female-led design team. Here is why this particular coat has become a celebrity staple:

• Fluid Silhouette: Unlike bulky raincoats, this coat features an adjustable waist and a dropped hem, creating a flattering shape that works over gym leggings or a tailored suit.

• Technical Specs: It boasts a waterproof rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand heavy rain and wind while remaining completely breathable.

• Sustainability: The brand focuses on "slow fashion," creating timeless designs intended to last for years rather than a single season.

The "Cool" Factor

Jodie Kidd recently shared a snap of herself in the coat, describing it as her "go-to for the school run and the muddy fields alike." Meanwhile, Davina has been seen wearing the brand during her outdoor workouts, proving that you don't have to look like you're about to scale a mountain just to stay dry during a British spring.

The coat comes in a range of muted, sophisticated tones, including Midnight Blue, Olive, and Burnt Orange, ensuring it fits seamlessly into any existing wardrobe.

Where to Buy

The Protected Species City Walker and their wider waterproof collection are available via their official website and select high-end boutiques. While it sits at a premium price point (typically around £210), the consensus from both celebrities and fashion editors is that its versatility makes it a cost-per-wear winner.

In a world where functional clothing often feels utilitarian, Kidd and McCall have proven that you can stay dry while looking effortlessly "cool."
