Shinamae I got my NF artic parka from ebay second hand, it's the old style with two pockets on the chest and two side pockets. Used to wear it in the Station in the winter! I like the two way zips, not all coats have them. I've had it five years now so my £125 investment has been great, it still looks new. I've just paid £15 to have the cuffs redone with bias binding as they were fraying, should last another couple of years.
Unfortunately I got caught out on the spring tide and flooded my trusty Sorel boots so I've had to buy some new ones, but they are a great investment too.
The Seasalt mac was in the sale and has a bit of quilting, I used to have a short yellow one but always got wet legs. I had discussed waterproof trousers with a friend, but didn't like the noise or feel of them, and wanted something longer. Hope it also lasts years, it was expensive but I'll look after it.
