Warm coat that’s also waterproof

[BeenChangedForGood]

I’m in desperate need of a coat that’s actually warm! And waterproof. Needs to survive a 40 minute walk from home to nursery to work, on the west coast of Scotland 😅

I have a puffer style from Monsoon which is not particularly warm or waterproof 😅 and I usually live in my dark green Seasalt Plant Hunter which does the job in the rain but is freezing!

To add to the difficulty - I’m a size 22 so needs to be available in larger sizes. I also have a health condition which makes me feel the cold more 😬 so need it to be properly toasty lol

Any suggestions would be welcome ☺️

What sort of budget are we talking?

I've got a Seasalt Janelle that I wear for dog walking, it's a really good length (meets the top of my wellies) and completely covers the back of my legs as a result. If you look on the Seasalt Ebay site you can often get old colours at really good prices - I paid about £70 for mine and it's more than paid for itself on cold wet days.

Would highly recommend Mountain Warehouse - they go up to a 24 in almost all coats.

This one is 2 layers so you can take the internal bit out as it warms up, is waterproof and covers your butt:

And you get 15% off sale prices if your have a Blue Light card - I think their membership includes nursery staff now.

Seasalt Janelle the long version is excellent but look at their size measurements.

Landsend stadium squall great plus size options. I live on the west coast to of Scotland and live in this coat October to march.

A jumper under the waterproof coat would suffice

Not in the west of Scotland. I wear the above coat with a vest, long sleeve t shirt, jumper, warm socks, trousers and warm boots, scarf and hat. And am cosy and dry.
A jumper under my summer waterproof coat would not cut it during winter.

A two layer Berghaus. Only drawback is they aren't long but in your situation I'd wear waterproof trousers.

Ive got a Fatface long waterproof coat with a removable padded inner, it's so warm and great in Spring without the inner

I have the Landsend Squall and it’s too hot so hopefully perfect for you.

I walk to and from work and this coat is the goat

I’ve got a Regatta three in one waterproof coat. In fact two as my first is a size 20 too big and having lost weight bought a size 12. Highly recommend. It is currently in their sale.

Really doesn’t
I’m wearing a seasalt plant hunter with a long sleeve thermal top, a vest, a jumper and a cardigan underneath! I take the coat off but keep everything else on for work at the minute as no heating

I have a thin duck and down jacket I wear under my raincoat but it is not as warm as my landsend squall coat.

Another vote for the landsend stadium squall. Decent length and properly warm without being frumpy.

Very pleased with my Lighthouse coat. Warm and waterproof. Really keeps the wind out too.

Landsend Expedition Parka. I have a longline one that I wore in Norway in -15° in blizzard conditions and it kept me toasty. I've since lost weight (size 22/24 down to a 12) and it no longer fits me. I've had to buy another one, but they don't do the longline one any more unfortunately.

@umberellaonesie @RandomMess @Purplemoonboots Thank you! Can I ask what the sizing is like on the Landsend coat? I’m a 22 with quite a large chest. Size options are 20-22 or 24-26. Am I better with the bigger one or are they generous?

I'm wearing my Lands End Squall parka. Absolutely waterproof and so warm. There's a sale atm. There are different grades so read before buying.

Currentky on sale! I have this coat but I live in the south east if England and it’s never cold enough to need it.

100% recommend this ..bought to watch my son play Rugby ..wear it all the time now to walk the dog ..used to do winter mountineering so am used to down jackets/gortex jackets but this is better for warmth/windproofness than them all!! Bit of a Vera vibe with it though lol! There's various colours:
