Lightweight waterproof

Evening all!
I’m looking for a lightweight, stylish, waterproof jacket if anyone can help?! I’ve been looking on various websites (next, superdry, m&s, topshop, north face) but can’t find anything.
I currently have a superdry jacket but the lining is too sweaty 😳 it’s shiny polyester.
I just want something i can throw under the pram when I’m not using it.
I’m early 30s, not particularly stylish, normally wear jeans and pumps or boots.
Thanks all!

I have this in grey, it's properly waterproof, really practical and I'm always getting complements when I wear it. Looks quite pulled together and stylish I think!

Uniqlo jacket. Very good waterproof

I just bought the Taylor coat from fat face. Not padded but completely waterproof. I like the fact it’s not padded as I can comfortably wear jumpers underneath. It has a drawstring waist and is fairly stylish as waterproof coats go.

I came on to say Rains, like @Zinnia Smile

It's completely waterproof and I think it's stylish for a waterproof anorak type coat. ASOS sell them or they have a website and a few shops in London.

@MigGril that’s the length I’m after, and I like the drawstring waste to nip it in a bit. The camo colour is nice. Do you find you get hot in it, it doesn’t look breathable?

I like the Peter Storm parka as well. I'm tall and like the nipped in waist, but lightweight feel (due to hot flushes).
Also wondering if it's sweaty. Hopefully not, as the price is great.

My Sea salt coat is not particularly stylish but it's long, so no wet thighs , and it's 100% waterproof.

MigGril · 29/09/2019 08:29

I only find it gets sweaty if it's a hot summer day already. I think you'd get sweaty in any coat then. I also have the full heavy weight one but it would be a bit bulky for what your after I wear that one in the winnter with a fleece. I'm so glad I discovered the extra length one's they really do keep you dryer.

Thanks MigGril and there is 20% off too!
Even better.

PinkDaydreams · 29/09/2019 09:20

I’m going into town today to try one on for size as I’m so in between sizes!

@MigGril thank you so much, just bought the camo waterproof Grin cheap and cheerful to throw under the pram. Got the 20% off instore too.
@beautifully mixed I’ve gone for a size 10, could have even bought the 8 but wanted space for a jumper without it being too tight. I’m normally between a 10 and a 12.

Joules GoLightly are very lightweight and come in nice colours.
Probably not as technically good as Patagonia.

beanaseireann · 29/09/2019 11:41

The Joules ones are longer than the Patagonia one.

PinkDaydreams · 29/09/2019 11:43

I saw the joules ones but I couldn’t find a pattern I liked! The black with bees is nice but my mums got that one so didn’t want to walk round looking like twins!

Pink well done! I will be going for the black and white polka dot, and if not in stock the camo. Fab prices!
Thanks for telling me your size for guidance, unfortunately I am nowhere near any of those sizes, and although reviews say size down, my main hope is that it zips over my rather ample chest Blush

FluffyEarMuffs · 29/09/2019 13:04

I love my Uniqlo one. It's not heavy duty, and it wouldn't be for the depths of winter, but for this relentless rain, it's perfect!

@Beautifullymixed I only saw navy and white spotted, I’d have got the black and white spot otherwise. Never mind! I’ve just had mine on, the hood isn’t that big.

Gosh I must be blind as it is navy!
I'd only looked at it quite a few times. Blush
