waterproof coat, hood, long, hardwearing, Functional & looks good!

[bacon]

First of all I order the Northface Grace but it made me look huge! The shape was wrong for me and it was really thick so it didnt drap at all well. I'm short and box frame.

Searching again and need a decent waterproof coat but not too hot.

I have found the following:

Barbour Cameron in Rustic £250
www.outdoorandcountry.co.uk/Barbour-Ladies-Cameron-Coat.html

Berghaus brown trench style coat Java £175
store.berghaus.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product8_11201_10252_4-34290_-1_Womens%5EClothing%5EWaterproofs_Womens_

My last coat was a Barbour waxed Newhampton which is a stunning classy coat but they have stopped making it. This drapes very well and lasted 5 years so good value if seem expensive at the time.

Any feedback on these? I love northface but the fabric was so thick that I must have looked size 22 which is a shame.

Have a look at the Berghaus feedback thread as the second coat that you linked to is one of the ones which is being tested.

Cant see anything on this one??? Sayes be the first to review.

Have you seen the infamous coat thread?

Not on the Berghaus site, I meant the Berghaus feedback thread on MN here

Barbour one is going to the top of my Christmas list, just need him to get a tax refund

Ahhh, thanks for that I've never seen this before and now I cant find the products feedback anywhere.

Great - all good feedback - still love the barbour too.

May order tonight.
