Now is the time to prepare for autumn rain showers with this TOG24 jacket that's more than half price

The weather may still be giving us a few summer-ish days, but autumn is on the way, making now a good time to get those in-between layers sorted.

At the perfect time, this TOG24 jacket has just been reduced by half, making it a tempting option for anyone who wants to be ready for cooler, wetter days without spending a fortune. The Keld Womens Softshell Hooded Jacket is available from TOG24 for £42.50, and several colours that lend themselves to the season shift including dusky pink, black, navy and light forest.

The Keld Womens Softshell Hooded Jacket originally cost £85, but all colours now have £42.50 off the RRP. That's a saving of 50%, bringing the item firmly into bargain territory. Plus, it’s got a great discount, but this jacket is an item that you can actually use now.

What makes it particularly well timed is the type of jacket it is. This isn't a heavy winter coat that you'll be too warm wearing on those milder autumn days, but a softshell layer designed for the sort of cool, breezy and showery weather that tends to arrive as summer fades.

TOG24 describes the Keld as water resistant, breathable and windproof, giving it the versatility to handle everyday autumn weather. It also has a bonded microfleece lining on the inside, helping to add a layer of warmth without turning the jacket into a bulky winter coat.

There's also a fixed hood with adjusters, along with adjustable cuffs, so you can tweak the fit when the wind picks up. Two lower zipped pockets provide a useful place to keep essentials secure when you're out and about, whether that's walking the dog, heading out for an autumn stroll or simply running errands. View the full jacket's features on the TOG24 website.

The jacket is available across a broad range of sizes from 8 to 20 - and yes there’s still plenty of different sizes left in each colour. The softshell design also gives the jacket a more streamlined everyday look than some bulkier outdoor coats so it could make a useful addition to an autumn wardrobe for anyone looking for a practical layer with a little extra warmth.

It's worth remembering that this is shower resistant rather than a fully waterproof coat, so it isn't designed to replace a proper waterproof for prolonged heavy rain. But for those unpredictable autumn days when the forecast can't quite make up its mind and a light rain shower could happen at any time, a breathable, windproof softshell with a cosy lining can be exactly the kind of layer you reach for. Check the Keld jacket at TOG24.

At £42.50 instead of £85, the Keld is now half price, making this a good moment to pick up an autumn-ready jacket before the weather properly turns. If you've been meaning to replace an old everyday coat or want an extra layer for cooler mornings, this one is certainly worth a look while the reduced price lasts. Shop the Keld Womens Softshell Hooded Jacket now for £42.50.
