The first collection combined practicality with style \u2014 and quickly proved that rainwear didn\u2019t have to be dull. Over time, Pipduck grew into a large collection of boot designs and introduced its signature raincoat. With a flattering A-line silhouette made from panelled construction, it was designed to withstand all weather conditions \u2014 fully lined and with a detachable hood for maximum versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1.png\" alt=\"Whatever the Weather\" class=\"wp-image-20380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In 2019, the business quietly changed hands. A long-time team member and South Coast NSW local took over the reins, just months before the pandemic hit. Like many small businesses, Pipduck faced significant challenges \u2014 particularly around manufacturing delays and an uncertain economy, which made decision-making difficult. The product range was vast and, at times, unsustainable. But these \u201cCovid hangover\u201d years have also reinforced what really matters: staying adaptable, keeping things personal and continuing to offer the most loved, most reliable rainwear pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Rather than dilute what made Pipduck special, this new chapter has sharpened its focus \u2014 combining timeless design with real-life practicality for women who are out there doing life, whatever the weather.<br>Now run from a small warehouse on the south coast of NSW, Pipduck remains proudly independent. Its small team picks and packs every order in-house, handling everything behind the scenes with care and attention. Every piece is made to be worn often, not just once in a while, and the brand stands by that<br>with a 12-month warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3.png\" alt=\"Whatever the Weather\" class=\"wp-image-20379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.australiancountry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Pipduck coats and gumboots are designed to keep you dry, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish.
