Alva Womens Waterproof Trench Coat vs Summit 3-in-1 Waterproof Jacket

Buy the Alva if you want one good-looking coat for wet city days and a wide size range. Buy the Summit if you want warmth and flexibility across seasons, since its fleece liner zips in or out. The Alva has the stronger waterproof rating (10K vs 5,000 mm), taped seams and a higher rating from far more owners. The Summit is the warmer, more technical jacket, but it is hand wash only and its shell is a basic nylon.

• Choose the Alva if you want a waterproof trench that looks smart over work clothes and comes in sizes 8 to 26.
• Choose the Summit if you need one jacket for cold, wet days and want the fleece liner to work on its own.
