Why can't I find an ankle length raincoat?

[Flamingoose]

I do realise they're not stylish but I walk to work and when it's pissing down I get wet trousers. I want a large plastic ankle length mac like my Granny used to have. My desire to be dry is far greater than my desire to be stylish.

Try Iran?

I would probably just get waterproof trousers, cheaper and more practical, then you can have a normal waterproof cost that you would wear more often.

Wow, would an ankle length raincoat work? Would it not get all wet on the bottom from puddles and splashes?

Do you mean like a plastic see through one or one that works more like a coat?

I presume you've dismissed the idea of tucking trousers into wellies...

Van you still buy pac a macs?

Erm... That escalated quickly!

But yes, waterproof trousers?

I know what you mean though, I'd probably call it a Mac, or search for fishing coats???

Looks a bit mad but this one is full length: www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/outback-full-length-waterproof-raincoat-deep-sea

Didriksons do extra long raincoats. Or how about Rains?

Or if you fancy dragging it over your head to take it on and off: rainkiss.com/collections/adults

Lol

It's not going to be dragging through the puddles.

Not a coat - a plastic mac to go on top of everything.

Why does it have to be see-through??!

How tall are you?

Could you reduce your height to 4'11" ? All regular length macs will be near ankle length then. (Speaking from experience)

Ooooh I kind of like the Dijriksons yellow one

the clue is in the name: www.longcoats.co.uk/collections/hers-wear-it-light

Or Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/LHHMZ-Waterproof-Jackets-Lightweight-Rainwear/dp/B09KXJQFWX/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=Long+Waterproof+Coat&qid=1657491407&sr=8-8

OK so I didn't know what you mean! I was thinking more like the link above.

I definitely think then that a pack away top and trousers would work best.

Hahaha the way they're making the rain kiss ponchos sexy with the models wearing nothing underneath. Omg, yep, that'll be me off to work in the rain.

Ooh. My apologies - see you're asking about the light plastic type.

Talipesmum - those are so much nicer than my gran used to have! I'm pretty sure she had one that was see-through with a mint green stripe 😂and an oversized gnome hood.

Hahaha, are you serious ?
Sorry I’m not being disrespectful but I’m here in London with 3 fans on as it is absolutely boiling as we are having a heat wave at the moment and it’s very uncomfortable as we are just not use to this weather .😥

I think the Amazon one is the winner!!
I'm enjoying this thread.

avamiah - always plan ahead

I know exactly what you mean - my grandma had a nice long brown mac that she wore at all times (it usually rained) and it was also useful in rare sunny climes as a picnic rug to sit on. I was laughing a bit at the links but actually some of those long macs are quite handy! If I was out on an Actual Walk I’d be in coat and waterproof trousers but it’s a faff with waterproof over trousers and normal clothes and shoes, esp if you’re in a skirt. A massive lengthy coat might be the thing!

I was joking

I just thought it was a comedy qu mid heat wave

lol,
but I have to agree with you as no doubt after this hot spell here we will have thunderstorms for at least 6 months .🫣

Drizabone are really long. Cotton traders I use this one 50"

Rats try again
