not sure if they do long ones but I love my trespass jacket it's really warm and hood does stay up. I would look at The North Face ones to I think I will have one of those for next winter. :)

HI

went to tkmax only short ones seen one north face £233 waterproof but didnt want to pay that much cheaper ones are only water resistance so when you are standing waiting for children to come out of school I get wet as it comes through coat.

I bought mine online and as it has my name and registered childminder embroidered on it, it was all tax deductable... worth a look around maybe ?:)

I got mine from Cotton Traders. Long, waterproof and the hood stays on. It's only thin though, so I put a fleece on underneath when cold or just the waterproof if a little warmer. Also got a pac a mac from there too, ideal to leave in the pushchair!

I'm also looking for a new long waterproof coat. I'm currently using my DH's ski jacket as I've discovered that my coat is not up to wet school runs. This is one that I'm thinking of getting.

My DH has just bought one of the long wax coats from Drizabone. I thought I'd go for something a bit less expensive. :) Hx

I usually go for North Face but only when they are half price in the sale:D Although I do have a craghopper waterproof that I have had for years. I keep bunging it in the washing machine with the waterproofer and it still works great.

I've recently bought one of these. It's lovely and warm, long and waterproof. The hood stays on well too.
