Peter Storm Reviews 153

Bought a Peter Storm 'waterproof' coat with a fleece liner in Go Outdoors Bedford for a trip to the Lake District. First used in light rain around Derwent for 4-5 hours with no issues on 19/10/25. Today (21/10/2025) it received around an hour of moderate rain around Buttermere and is saturated inside and out - along with everything I had in the pockets. I could actually see what waterproofing had been applied sloughing off as a soapy residue.

I wish I had read the reviews of Peter Storm products before buying because I also have a pair of walking boots from the same brand.

Needless to say, the coat is going back on my return home, but I'm left with the option of spending time and more money buying another one while I'm here or getting soaked to the skin a few more times. I'll never buy anything made by this brand again.

What was once a great brand is reduced to rubbish; see the other reviews here. I bought a waterproof coat at Go Outdoors last year, supposedly reduced from £125 to £75. The main zip degraded and lifted from the fabric after just 18 months of not exactly heavy use, and cannot be closed - making the coat useless. I still have the receipt and original tags. I did not want a refund, just a replacement waterproof coat. The staff instore at Go Outdoors could not help as it was over one year and referred me back to the 'Peter Storm' website, telling me the product had a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. There is no real content on Peter Storm's website and the only contact/phone number takes you to... Millets. All these companies are part of the JD Sports empire. After getting through on the phone after going through multiple options, the line was shocking, the guy tried to help, went away and came back a few times, didn't seem to understand my enquiry, and then told me that 'Peter Storm' only had a maximum one-year warranty, despite what I have been told by Go Outdoors. So be warned. I suppose you get what you pay for, and I will not buy again the cheaply mass-produced rubbish now being sold under the Peter Storm brand. Shame. And given the customer service experience, will think twice about buying again from Go Outdoors.

Bought a pair of Peter Storm walking trousers last year, 2024. Very versatile having zip off legs for crops and shorts too. Are good quality material and well made. Wash and wear very easily. Wouldn't be without them

Peter Storm Caldbeck walking boots. Don’t buy! After 6 months the insole started to break up, just after 1 year the sole on 1 boot is coming off and the stitching on both boots is coming apart. The boots are used for dog walking twice a day and were regularly cleaned and treated.

Bought the boots last November used them daily for taking the dog for a walk. No longer than two hours a day. Last month (April) whilst out walking I noticed the right boot feeling loose so checked the lace, it was the sole detaching from the upper. Less than six months wear and now useless.

I bought a pair of Peter Storm walking shoes in August 2023. They were worn for dog walking, up to around 1 hour a day at the most. They were around £80, and were advertised as waterproof. I re-proofed them a number of times, but they did get frequently wet and muddy. After 8 months one of the soles came away from the upper part of the shoe. I was given a free replacement of the same shoes by Go Outdoors, where I bought the original pair. After another 11 months the exact same fault has occurred. I won’t bother Go Outdoors again, and I definitely won’t be buying any more Peter Storm footwear.

Paid around 50 pounds for Peter storm ladies walking boots. Cleaned and used dubbin after every use. Now peeling after 18 months occasional use. Very disappointed

Peter Storm Walking boots with storm grip soles. The first time I wore them in town to break them in it was damp and I slipped on a metal manhole cover. I put that down to the rubber needing the shine taken off it. Later I had to be air-lifted off the mountain near my home due to slipping on on a damp rock. Today I decided to wear them on a walk around the lanes, unfortunatly it began to rain on the the way back and I slipped twice in matter of seconds, IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY. I will be destroying then when the rain stops. The ONLY reason I gave one star was because I couldn't give zero.

Bought a pair of their walking boots. Fell apart in almost every area possible. Sole came away from upper. Not waterproof. Surface peeled everywhere. Save your money

This the second pair of Peter Storm walking boots that I've had over the years that have broken within a few months. Very poor quality and very disappointing. I'm not sure how a company can produce such poor products and have such bad reviews online, and yet do absolutely nothing about improving their products. Sort it out Peter Storm!!

I have bought two pairs of Peter Storm wellies from Go Outdoors and each pair have split at the seem within months.
Shoddy quality and extremely over priced for something that won’t last longer than a few months.

I bought a Peter Storm Parka from “ Go outdoors’ within less than a year the zip has broken and has fallen off .

I now have to use the Velcro to fasten the coat .

I really wish I knew about this site before buying . I won’t buy another of their products

I bought a pair of convertible trousers and I’ve worn them a few times and washed them a couple of times. The zip is already stiffening and feels like it’s going to break and the convertibles are so shabbily made the joining is already coming away. They were not cheap and I would not recommend them

Bought a Peter Storm Mens winter jacket. Not worn it over the summer but now find that the ZIP is weak and faulty. Not able to wear in winter! Unfortunately I can’t find receipt but the Jacket looks like new and unworn.
Beware of poor quality ZIPS

Bought a pair of Peter storm walking shoes about 6 months ago but I’ve used them for a week when I was in Italy and a couple of other days at home now that my other boots are worn out.
Soles have split on both boots and it appears the sole was attached by a thin edge of glue where they meet the leather, they were never comfortable anyway hence them not being worn much, they are heavy for a shoe. I knew they were poor quality when I bought them but it was just for the holiday.
Was going to say poorly designed but I guess they are made with an eye on maximum profit without any thought for the end user, I suspect you could buy similar quality boots in china for £2 which is probably what they did.

My Peter Storm walking boots failed after 7 months.

I bought some Peter Storm hiking boots from Go Outdoors in January 2024. I'm not sure of the model as box and receipt are long gone. I wore them a few times in dry conditions and everything was fine but cut to October and after wearing them in long, wet grass I have discovered they are not at all waterproof. I had to wring out my socks. I'm probably going to have a battle getting a refund as I don't have the receipt anymore. These boots are total cack.

Purchased a pair of waterproof trousers in September. First time needed to use was practically impossible even with side seams opened. Boots kept snagging on interior mesh. Had to sit down on wet ground to manoeuvre them on. Second time thought would be easier as wearing shoes, not so. Same performance!
Does anyone test your products???
Wish now I’d read your reviews page before I purchased anything. I wouldn’t have bothered. Money wasted as I’ll now have to buy again from another brand. Lesson learnt!

My Grandad was the founder of Peter storm and sadly since his death the product are not made in the UK. The company was sold off to bigger chains and the quality of the products isn't as high as they were. You shouldn't ever wash the water proof Jackets, care instructions should be followed so if you put it in the washing machine it will fall apart, they aren't made to deal with washing powder. If you look after your Peter storm gear it will last for years. My dad had a customer who had a jumper that lasted 40 years and ask my dad if he could buy the same one, sadly it was discontinued, but as it was a present for his dad my dad sent him a couple for the price of 1. I am sad to see so many 1 star reviews, perhaps if products were still made in the UK this wouldn't be the case.

I bought a waterproof Jacket with fleece detachable liner, I thought it was quite good until I washed it, the waterproof coating (it looks like latex) just came away from the waterproof outer and clumped together along the bottom seam, along with lots of lengths of tape that I assume were to give the stitched seams strength/waterproofing. The label said 'Made for the British weather' that must be the rare sunny weather.
The jacket was made in China, probably to the lowest quality possible. Do they not check the materials before giving the production go-ahead?
