Fully waterproof coat that looks vaguely stylish

I’m hoping I can find something in the sales that fits the following criteria:

  1. Navy or khaki /dark green
  2. Sits below the knee (I’m 5ft 6)
  3. Fully properly waterproof
  4. Robust enough for woodland dogs walk
  5. Not too thick - menopausal hot flushes so prefer layers I can quickly remove
  6. Budget ideally sub £150 but happy to buy on Vinted

Any suggestions? I like the look of the rubberised coats from places like Didrikson but theirs all seem to be very thick lined plus I do wonder whether those coats are breathable as rain proofing I want over even into the warmer months.

Seasalt?

Seasalt Janelle ticks those boxes.

I bought a Protected Species jacket on Vinted. It’s lovely. Properly waterproof but soft and lightweight. They do longer styles too. https://www.protected-species.com/product/waterproof-odyssey-dark-olive/

Seasalt Janelle is padded lining and to thick - I already have a super warm padded waterproof but finding it too hot so really want something more suited to Spring/autumn rather than winter weather. I've added a Vinted alert for one of those @kohlrabislaw their parka would be perfect but out of budget & sadly no sale on

Sweaty Betty do one - you’d need it in the sale, birthday 50% thing or outlet to be in budget though

Protected Species coats are lovely BUT unless they've changed the design, there are no inside pockets for a phone.

I checked mine and you’re right… no inside pockets.
