Megan tries her new Malvern raincoat

[Megan]

Megan has managed to get a Jack Murphy Malvern raincoat - reputed to be one of the best, with 20,000mm waterproofing - it's raining, and the waterfall is flowing, so she decides to see how good it is. She stands under the full flow - her headscarf is saturated, but the Malvern raincoat barely seems to notice the pounding it's receiving - even when she pauses to bend forward so that the full force is directly onto the back of her raincoat, still no penetration. Even when she is only at the edge of the falls it's equivalent to a torrential rainstorm, but the Malvern is not only resistant, there is still some water beading on the surface - even the outer coating of the material has not been fully soaked. She looks forward to a much longer exposure in some really heavy rain, and possibly one of the more powerfull waterfalls!

Nice to see you with a new raincoat too try and it looks like it stood up to the torrent of water okay, did it keep you nice and dry as it looks nice and wet when you are stood in front of the camera, hopefully you get the chance to try it out under a stronger waterfall once we've had a lot more rain.

The fabric is 100% waterproof, but there are a couple of design problems. In common with many similar raincoats, the lining of the pockets is not proofed, and can lead to damp patches in the lining. Also, there are ventilation holes beneath the arms, which I have hopefully sealed, as I noticed some damp patches in the lining. Hopefully these are problems that are overcome - obviously I stayed completely dry, due to wearing three waterproof layers, but these are annoying faults in an otherwise superb piece of rainwear.
