Which Didriksons raincoat? (not overly thick/heavy)

6 replies

I have an old Didriksons Taylor that is the greatest coat ever - warm, robust, breathable, waterproof, plentiful of pocket, big hood.

I also have a Didriksons Ida raincoat, which is more like an anorak - no warmth, but waterproof, the sleeves are weirdly long and flappy, but it sort of does the job.

My question is, does Didriksons do anything in between, ideally in black? I’d like it to be as long as the Taylor (just above the knee) but not as warm/thick - it needs to work for spring and autumn. I’d also like it to have a matte finish, rather than the shinyness of the Ida. What’s the Thelma like, weight-wise?

I have the Thelma, I like it. I'm 6ft and the length of the arms and body is great. It's not padded but it keeps the draft out so is fairly warm.

Thanks cake. What kind of finish does it have? And is it lined?

I have a dark grey one, it's matt finished. It's lined with mesh type fabric - pics below.
I've had it for about 5 years now.

I have the Thelma too, it's very windproof but not too warm , good for spring/autumn ... very light and great in the rain with a well designed hood. Recommend

Another positive vote for a Thelma from me. It's not padded, but is windproof and waterproof. And the shape is gently flattering but dateless. It wouldn't be my first choice for a stylish day out shopping in a big city but for walking the dog and shopping in a market town, it more than passes.
