The waterproof Parka is lush in all those colours.

I was fully prepared to come onto this thread outraged that MN were promoting coats made out of protected species. I was imagining polar bear fur or auk lining or something. Glad I got it wrong!

Hard discussion but waterproof commuter in dark olive green. More fitted and stylish, but waterproof for when it rains when I'm dog walking!

Kittyme · 02/07/2019 20:35

I would choose the Waterproof Commuter in the Burnt Horizon Red, size 12-14, it's a lovely colour to jazz up my daily commute.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 02/07/2019 20:37

Gutted.

I thought I was going to be able to choose a coat made out of chervil or red squirrel.

What have you got in a size 18?

Rubytinsleslippers · 02/07/2019 20:39

The waterproof parka in dark olive green in a size 16-18.
It looks comfortable, stylish and practical. I like the fastening at the neck as it's just that wee bit different other waterproofs.

gotmychocolateimgood · 02/07/2019 20:41

My favourite is the waterproof commuter in grey (6-8). It's hard to find smart waterproof coats and this one is so stylish too! I really love it.

WitsEnding · 02/07/2019 20:47

I'd choose the Waterproof Commuter in Dark Olive (12/14). I walk everywhere, need something smart enough for the city that will keep me dry enough to look polished when I get where I'm going?

Bodyonme · 02/07/2019 20:50

A Waterproof Commuter in Burnt Horizon Red in 16-18 would be wonderful! These coats remind me a lot of a Berketex raincoat I inherited from my grandma; they have a very classic look but with a modern twist.

BursarsDriedFrogPills · 02/07/2019 20:53

Waterproof commuter in navy - I'm starting a big grown up job imminently, and I live in Scotland. This coat would help me on both those counts.

HairyMaclary · 02/07/2019 20:53

I realise I meant the Burnt Horizon red not the rose pink. I hadn’t seen the colour names!

City Walker, Olive Green

Having read about this brand here in MN, I treated myself to this jacket to encourage me to walk more, prompted by a promotion offering nearly 50% off. It really lifts my heart, I find myself glad when rain is forecast so I can wear it. Equally suitable for walking and work, I luffs it.

Thank you to whoever originally posted about it.

ImperfectTents · 02/07/2019 20:59

Waterproof parka in olive green in 12-14. As a new dog owner I NEED it!

Ffeyone · 02/07/2019 21:03

Waterproof commuter in burgundy size 12-14 looks very elegant and perfect for work or evening out.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/07/2019 21:03

Waterproof commuter for me please in a standard 12, love the deep burgundy colour as a change from greys and neutrals.

Kb12 · 02/07/2019 21:11

City walker in black 10-12 I think it will go with everything :)

Wotsitdooda · 02/07/2019 21:12

The Waterproof Mac in Burnt Horizon Red: the colour is eye-catching and the back with the belt done up and the overhanging flap looks amazing!
Plus whenever you put it on you'll be able to sing: I'm bringing Sexy Mac ♫

The waterproof city walker please. Navy blue would be great as it will match with more outfits and can be dressed up or down easier.

I love this coat, it looks so practical and stylish at the same time. A fantastic all rounder.

Bezza2 · 02/07/2019 21:19

The waterproof parka in olive green is perfect for walking the dog in cold wet weather as it has a super hood and is still great as a casual jacket in olive green with jeans and practically anything else because it goes with any colour. Love it 😍

Binglebong · 02/07/2019 21:20

I like the waterproof winter parker. www.protected-species.com/our-products/waterproof-winter-parka/ shame it doesn't come in other colours (and a reflective option would be good for night) but it looks really warm and would be brilliant for dog walking in winter. Hope it's back in stock soon!

Janene · 02/07/2019 21:24

Hard choice, I do love the look of the waterproof computer but I’d have to choose the waterproof winter parka because I always choose warmth over style 🙈

startalovetrain · 02/07/2019 21:26

I love love love the storm grey colour. I'd choose the waterproof mac in a 16-18 in that colour. It would be great to wear when trudging through rainy Yorkshire streets with the dogs. I could also even wear it when travelling long distances on the train for work in my comfies to elevate me from a bad-clothes-day to a well-put-together day with very little effort!

veneeroftheweek · 02/07/2019 21:27

I love all of them. If I had to choose, I'd go for the waterproof parka in storm dark grey.

footdust · 02/07/2019 21:28

I would love to win the Waterproof Winter Parka in Black because it would be lovely to feel stylish, dry AND cosy.

simontink · 02/07/2019 21:31

waterproof parka in night sky navy in size 12-14 please. Looks lovely and great for our weather

JoyceDivision · 02/07/2019 21:32

Oooh City Walker in Night Sky Navy 16/18 looks beautiful Smile
