What coat are you wearing in the rain?

[ruby22]

I need something to wear to do the school run and go in/out of the car in the rain. What's stylish and what's definitely not stylish? It won't be my winter coat but needs to get me through to when I can start wearing my winter coat.

Second the Merrell Wakedield non-insulated. It's smart, stylish and it keeps me completely dry. I have a Merrell Haven for winter, but it's too warm for it at the moment. I got them from Go Outdoors for £70 each - a bargain.

Obviously that should be Wakefield

They stock Seasalt in our John Lewis, maybe worth a try?

Sueprdry windcheater. I love it with jeans, and it's better for cycling than a long mac.

This is mine, love it.

I am wearing this It met all my criteria, the hood doesn't blow down in the wind and on really bad days you can popper it so it stays put. I also like the nice bright colour which cheers me up on horrible rainy days.

iWILL, what on earth is that model doing in the video? She looks like she's about to do a striptease! It's a waterproof coat for heaven's sake, not sexy underwear!

Lands End parka style rain jacket in the beige colour. Keeps me dry. Good hood. Not too heavy for this time of year.

iWill I really like that one. sadly sold out in my size. Could be tempted by the Boden one if in a plain colour only.

I have this in navy. It's a lovely swing style and can confirm, thanks to a massive downpour yesterday, it is definatley waterproof!
It is bag made, I am a 22 and need the XL.

Sorry BIG made!

I have Bergans Trondheim coat, comes down to my knees and it's waterproof - as in proper waterproof, made of of Dermizax which is a gore tex equivalent, I have been out in it walking my dogs in all kinds of deluge and it never lets me down. I also have the Bergans Egersund parka which I love but I wear the Trondheim more

I have a Didriksons Thelma. Nice shape, adjustable waist and hood, comes down to my knees and is properly waterproof and windproof.

I've got a red hooded Michael Kors rain mac from TKMaxx, that was a complete bargain at about £30. It's just the right side of the dwarf from Don't Look Now Little Red Riding Hood, and has a detachable warm lining that you can take out for summer months. TKMaxx is actually a v good source of decent rain macs.

what do people think of the kellifray in white?

Tried it on and I like it but not sure how practical white is? Also not sure if it looks a bit like a lab coat. Given the weather, I don't care that much really but I'd rather not spend £££ (to me anyway) on a coat that's a bit meh. But I desperately need something waterproof, and not thick (other coat is far too warm for now). Should have bought it in bloody navy months ago when I first looked.

Thoughts?!

a beige, lightweight hooded one from lands end, was only about £15 from the factory shop. it's great, hood stays up even in wind and the rain just runs off it.

I have ordered a Boden Rainy day mac to look a bit smarter out and about. My collection of ancient leaky Barbours, ex-childrens cagoules and a North Face jacket that is a strange colour will have to tide me over another fortnight until it arives. It will probably stop raining then.
