Why is is so hard to find a reasonably stylish, young girls coat that it both warm and waterproof?!?!

Every thing seems to be one or the other.
We have a waterproof wax jacket that is a bit on the thin side, a rain coat that is v thin and a joules hooded puffa type coat that is warm but can only cope with a smattering of rain. Every day I try and make a call which is the priority. Struggling to find any coats that are both unless we go down the very technical route.
Anyone found any good ones?
Zara seem to have some but she is at that odd size of about to turn 5 and the young girls range is up to age 4-5 and older girls is from age 6. They seem to have forgotten about 5 year olds.

Polarn O Pyret tends to be very good but also worth checking mountain warehouse as they do a range of more fashion focused stuff but it’s still decent, warm and waterproof.

Another vote for Polarn o Pyret coats.
Fully waterproof and so warm.
Made to last and last and last.
I’ve just sold two on eBay which had been worn by two of my kids and the resale value is high. Such good value.
One of my kids has a gorgeous Didricksons too. It’s super warm, fully waterproof and stylish.
