or rather, i would have needed it this afternoon when i was forced by a saturation with Peppa Pig to take my dd to the playground in the pouring rain...

so i want a rainjacket (not a raincoat, i have nice ones for work), with a hood, that looks COOL/STYliSH and not too mumsy. I want to buy it online and i want it delivered asap.

Me too. I went out with one rainmac zipped up the front, and another one; the type you pull over your head, around my middle to keep my legs dry. I looked about ten sea miles beyond fcuknig ridiculous. But I was dry

That's nice, but is it rainproof or shower resistant. A shower proof coat is just not good enough!! I have to walk over a mile to dc's school and back in the rain some days. Hence, hideous homemade arrangement using two rainmacs.

Are those Boden ones rainproof? I'm a single mother so I don't think Boden would send me a rain mac!? It's not in their mission statement to provide SMs with patterned appareil.

Saw a nice Banana Republic one in Grazia today. But can't find it on their website. It's a black parka.

I just bought this from Planet. It has kept me dry and toastie warm through several downpours and it looks great (even though I say it myself!). The hood actually looks nice up AND keeps the rain off. It's a miracle.
