Didriksons or Trespass

[CrawlingFromShitshowToAfterglow]

I know there have been a few really helpful threads recently on winter jackets. I've narrowed my options down to either a Didriksons or the Trespass Audrey.

Due to health reasons, I need to keep really warm and the recent cold weather has chilled me to the bones!

Can anyone recommend which one out of these? If I'm looking at a Didriksons, which specific one is good at keeping the cold out?

Thanks

How was it for the school run in the snow? I’ve just ordered one and a bit worried it won’t be warm enough for me, I really feel the cold!

It felt fine but not as cosy but I have lost 4 stone this year so maybe I’m feeling the cold more. My school run is partly along the north east coat line and it held up really well against the wind.

Didrikson have a clearance bit on their website. Really warm coats. Highly recommend

These two are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

I live in the frozen north. Today its -4 and what i have found that is a game changer is wearing a Uniqlo ultra light down jacket under it. I picked mine up for less than £10 on vinted!

Bought a Didrikson’s Erika today on the strength of this thread and looking forward to wearing it.

Update: my Didriksons Erika arrived yesterday. I wore it this morning to take DD to her sporting activity. It was quite cold as it was early morning and I was standing outdoors. The Didriksons really did its job! I was really warm from the knees up. I usually feel the cold a lot and most of the parents were complaining it was bitterly cold today. I actually felt so toasty! Thank you to everyone for the suggestion. I'm so glad I bought it!

Oh and the black is on offer at Griggs currently for £164 if anyone is looking.

Great news OP..it’s so nice to be toasty warm on a cold day. Next step is long boots!

That’s great news, glad it did its job! Did you size up or anything with yours? I’ve read mixed reviews on that.

Didriksons!

Ooh, yes. Some recommendations on boots would be great!

I didn't size up. I am usually a 12 in jackets/coats, so I got the same and it fits really well

I’ve just got some country boots…I’ve got toasty feet now too 😀

I need some new boots too.

Mine arrived this morning and is rather snug! I’ve lost quite a bit of weight recently and in everything else I’m an 18, but this coat has me questioning it all! Insane really as I could fit 2 of me in the Joules size 20 I wore all last winter…

Just found this thread and wondered if anyone had any feedback on Didrickson's sizing? Some places say it comes up small. Also, those with the Erika, do you wear it in, say 10 degrees or would it be too warm for that?

Cosy at 10c but also held up well last nigjt when it was freezing cold, thick ice every where.

The sizing is spot on but the online meaurements on their website suggested I would need a much bigger size then I usually wear which just wasn’t true.

I’d say Didrikson’s is true to size. I would wear mine, if it’s 10 degrees outside; but I wouldn’t wear it, if I was wandering in and out of shops. IMO, it’s too warm for shops!

I think the Erika is slightly on the neat side although I have big boobs.

I bought the Erika two weeks ago. I’d say it was true to size and that it is a neater style. I will also say I have not regretted purchasing this and is honestly the best coat for warmth as well as wind and rain protection. Worn it every day since I’ve had it. Hood also stays up in strong coastal winds. I would wear in and
out of shops but unfastened.
