Merrell Ellenwood - is it worth it?

[musicmum75]

I've just come across a site selling the Merrell Ellenwood on sale, but it's still pretty pricey. Is it really worth it? Will I kick myself if I don't take advantage of this bargain??

Is it a coat? How much?

I've just had a quick google and seen them described as ' devastatingly beautiful ' which made me LOL

Yep, it's a coat. Reduced from £190 to £120. Yes, I think devastatingly beautiful is a bit of an over-statement for what is essentially a posh anorak.

Hmm. I don't ' love ' it but it's 'ok'

Have you seen the whistles thea parka ? Now that's a nice coat

Will google it, thanks. Was interested in the Ellenwood as I've heard it's very warm and waterproof so excellent for horrible weather. Will search out the Whistles one too though.

I tried on a North Face Suzanne and fell in love. It's over £300. Ouch! I need a warm coat but don't have a spare few thousand!
I will watch this thread for ideas!!

Hundred. Not thousand. Aargh iPhone!!!

Eek £300! I wouldn't want to pay that either! I have also heard good things about the Target Dry Georgia, but I'm not keen on the colours. Would prefer something black.

ooh - just googled that North Face coat. It is really nice! Way too pricey though.

I've got the Ellenwood precursor (Wakefield) non-insulated version, and it is great for wet weather, plus I like the fit.

I'd steer away from non-technical makes (like Whistles) for coats to actually keep you dry.

The NF one doesn't look that dissimilar to the Merrell.

Thanks Carrie74. Agree, I am looking for something functional, rather than fashionable, but would like it to look nice too.

Yes, the North Face one is very similar isn't it. Much more expensive though! I thought the Merrell was pricey!!
