Hi
I'm looking for a winter , waterproof coat. I've had a Didrikson parka before. Looking for a another one or any other recommendations welcome.
Looked at the Didrikson website and I'm totally confused with different styles.
Looked at meja, valentina and Angelina. Didn't like Angelina only because of the threads at the back. Any suggestions welcome.

Hi This winter I bought the Didrikson Mea coat and it’s nice and warm, not too bulky, a great length and not noisy! I tried the Agnes coat on and the fit was lovely but the material was a bit stiff and it wasn’t as warm. I have the Didrikson Ilma coat for the warmer weather; it’s very thin, but a great fit. They look like they’ll last ages! When I was choosing a coat, I tried on some nice ones in Joules, and Barbour. I can’t remember the names. Skogstad coats are brilliant but hard to find in stock. I used to have a Seasalt Janelle coat which looked like it’d last decades it was such good quality. But it was a bit too long. I love the Bergans Oslo 3 in 1 coat but I was worried it might be too short and it was a bit too expensive.

Thanks @HollsLolls . I'm glad you mentioned mea.
I did try Mea at cotswold and liked it.
Was trying to look for a different colour online but couldn't a blue one in my size.
Also tried Angela but it was fleece lined and made it bulky.

@mumno11

Hi,which coat did you go for in the end?
I'm looking at this brand as I need something warm for standing on the rugby sidelines!

@Bingowin I haven't bought the coat yet..partly due to Covid and then couldn't find the Mea at that time. You've reminded me to look again!

ha ha.There are so many different ones I haven't got a clue.Not sure if I need fully waterproof or extra warm etc etc

I'm looking too. I want warm and fully waterproof (tired of the wet shoulders that come with so-called "water resistant" coats). Plus I want it knee length.

Bought a Didrikson Nicolina online which was perfect in terms of spec but way too big and unflattering so it had to go back. Back to the drawing board!

Wish I could go and try a few on. Any recommendations? I'm willing to spend up to £300 for really good one that'll last.

I’ve been looking at this brand too but wondering if it actually might be too warm for the Uk?
