    Default Waterproof coat - suggestions

    Hello

    I am looking for a WATERPROOF coat preferable a bit longer more thigh length than bottom length! If you get what I mean!
    I have shorter waterproof coats but can't find longer ones?
    Any ideas, also seems hard to find waterproof not just shower proof
    We do get very wet doing the schools run!
    Thanks
    Sarah

    I got a great purple one from Amazon, it goes almost to my knees - It's made by Jack Murphy for about £40 I think

    I really like the didriksons ones, they have a range that is longer and they are warm and windproof too.

    After getting soaked on a few school runs I bought one of these by Craghoppers.

    I find it really good, especially when it's cold too as it's windproof. Hx

    I went to TKMax and bought the thickest, longest coat I could find last winter and it's served me well.

    My tip - get one with extendible hand warmer bits built into the sleeves - saves pulling gloves on and off all the time.

    I think footwear is also very important. My work boots are waterproof and fleece lined
