Waterproof coat with hood possibly found at last!

I know our collective searches for a waterproof coat with a hood for buggy pushing is well documented on here
so I wondered what you thought of this?

No pink it's not a contradiction, there are 2 points
1/ nobody cares when it's pissing with rain what you look like
2/ in my personal opinion that coat is hideous and I woulnd't be seen dead in it raining or not
But if you like it, then help yourself!

I like it op.

I have a similar one from Barbour it's waxed silk, very light but warm as well.

oh sorry mine has no hood so no good to you. It is lovely though.

NOwt wrong with looking lovely in the rain! (and I live in rainy Scotland too)

Is Boden a total sweary word? I wore one of their printed raincoats for months last year kept me toasty dry!

Of course it's a contradiction - you are saying when it is raining you/others don't care what you look like - which is an utter nonsense if you are also saying you wouldn't be seen dead in it because of how it looks.

get my fashion have a navy spotty one by Noa Noa - don't know how waterproof it is, but the spots liven up the hideous raincoat shape.

Whatever pink

There are 2 points.... do you know what, if you like it, then buy it, if you don't like it then don't buy it.

And it's not a contradiction because I have already got a regatta jacket which you probably wouldn't be seen dead in otherwise you wouldn't be considering/researching alternatives.

eh? I know I being a bit of a pedant Humpty, so I'll end here, but your last post doesn't make sense logically. What's what you wear got to do with it?

OP posts:

If you say, within the same sentence (paraphrasing): 'nobody around here cares what you wear when it's raining,' and 'that one looks like something the oaps wear around here and I wouldn't be seen dead in it,' you're contradicting yourself, which was all Pink was pointing out.

I don't think it was a personal attack, but it was true.

As you were.

I think I'd better go - the stress of trying to find a waterproof coat with a hood is getting to us all!
