I expect this quest, like the women's one has been started many times but this time it will succeed or goddamit I am emailing every fecking manufacturer weekly until they produce.
Any future communication will go like this:
Dear so called outdoor wear manufacturer,
My children have a half hour walk to school. If it rains they need waterproof coats. The coats need to reach below the knee or their knees, skirts and tights get soaked. What makes you think it is acceptable for children to be soaked from the hips down?
Don't offer me waterproof trousers because when children get to school they do not have special places for drying off trousers. Also we really don't want to carry trousers with us every day in case it rains when we can simply don one coat.
The coat needs to be warm too because it gets cold in winter in Britain.
It should have a hood, to keep the rain off their heads. The hood must have a sensible, comfortable way of staying up. A storm flap bit at the neck would be good too.
It should not cost the earth. Children grow so I am not going to pay hundreds for a coat that will fit for two years maximum.
do you think you can manage that? You twats.
Love Constant
Or does anyone know of a child's coat that fits the criteria? I started looking in January to try and get sale stuff but have not found it.

get some waterproofing spray and spray everything.
If it's good enough for tent canvas it's good enough for your bulk standard winter coat
