Target dry Georgia or Merrell Ellenwood??

[yazzy85]

Which of these is better for winter, Target Dry Georgia or Merrell Ellenwood Parka??Mostly to be used for the school run and walking.

Anyone have both to compare???

Late to the discussion here but I do have both! The Merrell is more waterproof but tbh, I did google it when buying the Georgia and it only matters if you're going to be walking in really heavy rain....there's a waterproof-ness measure (v scientific of me!) in the fabric if that makes sense.

Overall, for the money, I think the Georgia would have ticked all the boxes I needed ticked as I don't really ever end up in pouring rain much....I drive the school run if it's bad. So I kind of wish I'd seen it before I'd already invested in the Merrell as it's half the price. The Merrell is longer mind you - so if you're tall, it would give you more coverage. There's probably 3-4 inches difference in length. In any case, they're different colours so I just rotate them depending on what I'm wearing or just for a change.

Thanks wiltedcabbage :) I know both are rated well on mumsnet but wanted an opinion from someone who had both to compare, I ordered the Georgia and wasn't sure if Merrell was better or not but I will stick with it I think
