Posting for traffic.

DD4 needs a Spring/Summer jacket, preferably lightweight and water resistant but I can't find anything even remotely nice anywhere.

Where is your go to?

I honestly buy most of my dds clothes from tesco, they have some nice things the prices are very reasonable and she gets a lot of wear out of them.

I recently got her a lightweight jacket with a hood from there it is navy blue with rainbows on and has a thin fleece lining inside. I'd try there if you haven't already.

Sainsburys
They do waterproof jackets with a jersey lining. There are often 3 or 4 colours to choose from. DD has a blue one with dinosaurs on this year, in the past we've had a yellow one, a red & blue, and a green one with dino spines on the hood. They last well and wash well too.

Yes I got a lovely and cheap rain jacket from Matalan for DD, but it's out of stock now. I do find Matalan come up small fitting for their kids stuff on the few times I've bought from them.
JeanClaudeVanDammit · 16/05/2021 15:23

Hatley are good and can often get on eBay. Got DD a nice waterproof lightweight jacket that’s a good length from Next.

Hankunamatata · 16/05/2021 15:24

I'm in Ireland though so my idea of a summer jacket might be different to yours!
