dd1 is at uni, does a lot of walking and tends to get to very cold so for christmas we are planning on buying her a good quality warm waterproof coat. dd is quite petite fortunately so tends to easily fit into large children sizing which help us save a little, i am unsure which brand to choose, she would prefer a dark colour i have been looking at north face, columbia, skogstad, didrisksons, jack wolfskin, any recommendations on these brands or good coats would be gratefully received ?
