Raincoats are one of those things I genuinely find hard to shop for — and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that. Finding waterproof outerwear that fits a curvy body, with enough room for layers underneath and a cut that doesn't leave you feeling shapeless, is a real challenge.
So I asked around, and here are some of the Australian brands the plus-size community keeps recommending.
Amble Outdoors
Amble is a name that comes up again and again in plus-size circles. Their coats are waterproof, come in a range of lengths including knee-length, and are cut generously — with room for hips, arms, and layers underneath. They offer both plain colours and patterned options, and fold up into a compact bundle, making them great for travel. Their range runs up to a size 5XL (roughly AU 24). Worth a look if you're after something well-made that's designed to actually fit.

Mama Movement
Mama Movement is one for you if you love a pop of colour. Their raincoats are bright and lightweight — a fun choice if you want something a little more vibrant — and they go all the way up to a size 6XL.

Macpac
Macpac is a well-established outdoor brand with solid quality across the board. Their popular Copland raincoat goes up to a size 24, with a longer length for extra coverage.
Plus Outdoor
Plus Outdoor is a small, family-owned Melbourne business specialising specifically in women's plus-size outdoor jackets. A great one to support if you want a shop built entirely around our size range.

Duck Apparel
Duck Apparel is another one worth a look. They stock sizes up to 2XL, so it's worth checking whether their cut and style work for you.

Snowgum
Snowgum's waterproof range goes up to a size 5XL, and members get access to extra savings.
