or rather, i would have needed it this afternoon when i was forced by a saturation with Peppa Pig to take my dd to the playground in the pouring rain...

so i want a rainjacket (not a raincoat, i have nice ones for work), with a hood, that looks COOL/STYliSH and not too mumsy. I want to buy it online and i want it delivered asap.

PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSEEE help

OMG - Was just about to start same thread. Yes, also want a cool hooded jacket that is not hideous mummy anorak!

Majeika · 09/09/2008 18:39

me too!

TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor · 09/09/2008 18:39

Me too. I went out with one rainmac zipped up the front, and another one; the type you pull over your head, around my middle to keep my legs dry. I looked about ten sea miles beyond fcuknig ridiculous. But I was dry

SoupDragon · 09/09/2008 18:41

Do you want it to be waterproof as well?

beforesunrise · 09/09/2008 18:42

this is an eternal mn quest
the options are
a barbour

a boden thing
a northface idn of thing
a drizabone

TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor · 09/09/2008 18:43

That's nice, but is it rainproof or shower resistant. A shower proof coat is just not good enough!! I have to walk over a mile to dc's school and back in the rain some days. Hence, hideous homemade arrangement using two rainmacs.

SoupDragon · 09/09/2008 18:43

Boden aren't waterproof.

Majeika · 09/09/2008 18:43

am liking the green one on the left of the first link

TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor · 09/09/2008 18:44

next have a rain mac, rain proof, but it looks like an 8 yr olds. =Red with flwoers on it.

TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor · 09/09/2008 18:45

Are those Boden ones rainproof? I'm a single mother so I don't think Boden would send me a rain mac!? It's not in their mission statement to provide SMs with patterned appareil.

Saw a nice Banana Republic one in Grazia today. But can't find it on their website. It's a black parka.

squeaver · 09/09/2008 18:47

Sorry looked again, it's dark blue. £140.

Carmenere · 09/09/2008 18:54

I bought this today. It is GREAT, looks lovely on me and keeps me really dry. Ok it is not stylish but, hey, dd seems to like me in it.

cazzybabs · 09/09/2008 18:55

I like the pink ones in joules. I really like all the stuff in their at the mo

SoupDragon · 09/09/2008 18:57

Not exactly stylish flowery version

PatsyCline · 09/09/2008 19:08

I just bought this from Planet. It has kept me dry and toastie warm through several downpours and it looks great (even though I say it myself!). The hood actually looks nice up AND keeps the rain off. It's a miracle.

CostaRicanCod · 09/09/2008 19:09

beforesunrise · 09/09/2008 20:30
