Not very stylish - but has anyone seen nice pacamac type jackets?

I'm looking for some for my teenage daughters and myself - they need to be zippable all the way down and roll up into a little bag. Obviously, I've looked at places like Milletts and Mountain Warehouse, but they will not pass the teenage approval rating because logos and general unstylishness. Anyone seen any in nice colours/patterns and ideally logo free? They don't need to stand up to all weather conditions, just general spring/summer rainy day wear.

Thanks Coco. I like the spot print one. Will run these by my fussy teens.

Cath Kidston do some nice ones, though pricy. Primark is also worth checking, they often seem to have some.

Topshop/New Look etc usually do parka-esque ones, which my dds have had in the past. They don't come in a bag but tbh, I doubt many teens would be fussed about/use the bag anyway.

Uniqlo

I got one last year and it kept me dry and folds up small.

I like the Uniqlo one for myself.

Remus - the girls would like that one but am holding out for foldable because we need to take them travelling so they will all have to fit in smallish backpack.

They fold up really small - well the ones my two have do. I took one abroad a few weeks ago and it squeezed into my tiny handbag. Worth a look.

That Newlook one might well get past DD2.
DD1 happy wears a regatta bright turquoise one, but she hikes up proper Swiss mountains.

DD2 whinges about a little Scout hike. (DD2 is spectacularly fit, but only if it involves turning somersaults).

Matalan had blue, knee length with daisies or red with black stars.

Check out Penfield. Great lightweight waterproofs and considered cool by the teens I know
