Waterproof jacket for walks

[WorldWideWords]

Yesterday was the first day after many months that I didn't go for my 5Km walk because it was so windy and raining and had no suitable jacket. In the winter I wear my coat, but until that's needed, I am looking for a jacket I can wear for my walks that's breathable and reasonably stylish as I often go straight to town to meet someone for coffee.

I'd like it to be black and not drown me as I'm barely 5.2", Thanks!

North Face do a really good proper waterproof, but I’m not sure it would be classed as stylish over practical!

I wear Protected Species jackets and love them. They are quite thin but completely waterproof. I would layer under them in spring and autumn.

I love my Barbour cavalry jacket, but the lack of hood can be annoying in such weather. I think Barbours generally look stylish too, but it obviously depends on your budget. A style like the below might work? -

I was also going to recommend Barbour jackets. Their wax ones are very waterproof and you can get zip in linings for them for the colder weather.
I would highly recommend you try them on before buying as the sizes tend to be on the slim side .

I have several protected species jackets. They're fab.

The Protected Species jackets are gorgeous. I worry that size 6-8 will be too small and won't allow for a warm layer underneath, and that size 10 might be a little big and the sleeves too long.

I love the City, the Quest and the Bomber. Is there anyone that's familiar with the styles and can give me a bit of a comparison?

I have a city walker, a commuter and a trench. City walker is my favourite. I think they're slightly on the small side so would say get the 10. Or order both sizes and send one back.

I think this looks good and it's not too costly

I treated myself to a Didriksons this spring, it's been great and sadly well worn this summer. I'll be getting the winter version of it as well.

Uniqlo have some great ones

The quest looks the most roomy and also covers your bum.

Feedback time.

I got the Quest and the City from Protected Species. Both gorgeous, but none at all suitable for a short person.

I bought the smallest Quest (S-M) and it was huge on me, very boxy at the front. Lovely shape from the side and back though.

The City I bought the smallest size and the fit was fairly good, but it left no room whatsoever for a warmer layer underneath, and the sleeves were still too long. Two reasons why the next size up wouldn't work for me: the sleeves would have been even longer; the back had a puffed area, this was weirs, almost as if there was extra room for something, a bag? I don't know.

Gutted because they're truly gorgeous, but both totally wrong for a small person. The search continues.

How about a waterproof Rains jacket

I do like those @RubiesandRose but I want more of a jacket. * *

I just bought the Lululemon Rebel rain jacket in black and it's perfect! I'm 5ft 3
