I need a lightweight, hooded waterproof coat, basically a kagoul, but I don't wish to join the berghaus league at the school gates, I'm 27 so want something quite trendy, but practical.
Help.

here

its a bit mission impossible. i jsut use a brolly

largeginandtonic · 30/04/2008 11:40

I have a very nice Gap Girl one form years ago. It is floral and loud and it fits me even when i am pregnant. I love it.

It is NOT a stylish choice though

So brolly is pretty good advice i think

brolly is no go really, a buggy to push and a three yr old to control as well.
That next one is the only one i could find too, isnt it festival season soon fgs?

Millets maybe? Will look.

Ha, ha. You are only looking for the holy grail. When you find one, let us know, it has been a long and tortuous journey and none of us is there yet. We had high hopes of the Boden Rainy Day Jacket but it was not to be.
