Can anyone recommend a Didrikson coat that is flattering?

I went and tried some on today as I'm fed up of getting wet at school. The ones I saw were all very manly . I've seen ones that look nicer on line . Has anyone got one that is a nice shape and super waterproof with a massive hood ( loved the hood!) Tia

Dr. Nick, I'm not sure about that fluff on the hood. The didrickson ones have a fab extended hood which works well staying off your face and also keeping you dry . I need to see where I'm going. I can't believe these are the only options . I went to look again today and they are all waist length and stupid floppy hoods for £80! I have an anorak I need a proper dry solution!

I nearly bought the Nariko last year but decided it was too bland . I may go and just e one of those . How is the hood?

I have the Greta and LOVE it. I am 5' and may well be swamped in it but I am a) really warm and b) really dry. Love, love, love it!

It is bland but it does the trick. I'd looked for ages and just settled as I got fed up but I'm glad I did now. It's a bit longer than the north face one too so good if you're tall. The hood is great, it's got a little peak and drawstring so keeps the rain and wind out a treat.

Ah well, nariko is what you want then. Word to the wise, don't get the purple as when the hood is up you'll look a right knob. Fact

Right today I went to about 6 shops including country shops . I tried on loads and went back to the Didrikson . The hood is just brilliant !! They only had the Mary in grey and I was hoping for a navy as it suits me and I mostly wear blues and denim . So I have ordered 2 sizes of the Thelma online do I can try them and take back to a shop the one I don't want . I wanted to buy the craghoppers but it just wasn't That nice and the good was rubbish . Will update when they come .

Anyone know anything about the fit of Wolfskin coats? As a porky short size 16 I'm not sure the Didrikson is for me.
