Properly waterproof raincoat but not a winter coat!

Anyone up for a coat challenge?

We live on the coast and get proper rain and wind...DD1 starts school this week and we'll be walking whatever the weather. I've got a long, super warm puffa coat (although the hood is bloody annoying and blows off constantly) but I've always struggled to find the perfect raincoat for when it's warm but the rain is still torrential. Must have a hood (that tightens so doesn't blow off!), be properly waterproof and not 'showerproof' (pah, not our showers!), be as long as possible so I don't get wet legs and have some sort of waist shape so my huge norks don't make me look any more pregnant.

I have looked everywhere I can think of to no avail so I await the awesome power of S&B! Smile

Same for me - thanks to those who mentioned the Lighthouse Isla...I've just bought one too! The power of Mumsnet eh?

frugalfashionista what's the sizing like on the coats you linked to?! I really like some of them. What's waterproof in Danish, I can't get the description to come up in English.
