Waterproof clothing??

You might like to try the golf discount retailers e.g. Miss Designer Golf have great waterproofs and they look stylish but not 'golfy' all that stuff has been modernised.

Thanks for all suggestions. Lots to look at.

We booked with Trailfinders and they fully repaid our money when the previous trip had to be cancelled when the gov decreed no overseas travel. Our usual travel insurance is through our bank and we do have to pay extra for some health issues. If the trip has to be cancelled for the same reasons Trailfinders will step in again. We do need to contact our own insurance to see where we stand if we cannot go because one of us has tested positive at the last moment.

I have Seasalt and Jack Wolfskin coats, both tried and tested and definitely waterproof (I live in Scotland ).

I wear a fleece or a lightweight down jacket under the Seasalt in the depths of winter but the Wolfskin one has a removable quilted lining which can also be worn alone so it’s a really versatile garment.

Rosiebee May I ask if you have been able to obtain travel insurance, and did it cover covid?
I need to book to see my grandchildren but am having problems getting insurance despite being healthy.

Trespass do a really waterproof jacket which is light and foldable into its own bag and would be ideal for milder days, or as a top layer over a jumper on cooler days. Mine cost £25 two or three years ago, but in spite of being so cheap, it has done me very well and shows no signs of wearing out. I have Berghaus waterproof trousers which are also perfect for dealing with rain and snow. I am 5'1'' and not as slim as when I was young!

Rohan can be good too. As NotSpaghetti says, do check that what you buy is waterproof, not showerproof. If you go for a thicker jacket, look for Goretex or similar.

I have a Seasalt waterproof coat but I would say it isn't 100% storm proof. I wear my Jack Wolfskin waterproof over a fleece if I am likely to get really soaked.
Sounds like a nice trip!

Look at Rohan

We got Craghopper waterproofs with detachable fleeces for our trip to Canada. Snug as a bug with woolly hats, scarves and gloves.

If you are going for waterproof (and if they have advised, don't risk water-resistant) then you need to decide on the more expensive 'breathable' waterproof or cheaper.
As a lot of the 'breathable' are nice to wear, I would go for those, as you'll get more wear out of them.
I would advise going for a 'shell' rather than anything padded. This means that you can layer, always a good idea. Also if you ever go anywhere warm and wet, it's very useful, and can fold down to pack in a bag / rucksack.
Lands End are reasonable value, I would also look at Cotswold and Rohan (expensive, but think 20-30 years' wear)

Have you got a Go Outdoors?
They do many brands of quality really waterproof stuff. For all the seasons.

Go to an outdoor country sports shop and ask for advice. So many clothes advertised as waterproof put fashion first and are only designed for English rain, even the very expensive Barbour.

I will second that. I have a Seasalt raincoat and it is brilliant. Looks good and is perfectly waterproof and also cosy. Enjoy your cruise.

Would check what is actually waterproof. There are ratings (like tog ratings but for water).
Some websites say "waterproof" and they are only waterproof in light rain for example.

LandsEnd Squall raincoat.
I bought the Spiceberry shade this summer and it is excellent. It has a warm lining but not too warm or wintry and the colour range is good too.
Apologies for the tiny pic! My second attempt is slightly better.

Seasalt. Waterproof, warm, practical and not too 'puffy'. They do a petite range for up to 5.3inches.

Have a wonderful holiday.
