Can anyone recommend a good - long- raincoat?

Just to be sure if you're buying SeaSalt online to check the various lengths. My dog walking one is the same type but the extra length on the newer one makes all the difference.

This one is £52 and available in all sizes from 8 to 28

AND it’s Sea Salt, AND it’s brand new!

Can anyone tell me about the fit of Sea Salt? I'm between sizes, so go for the bigger or smaller size?

I want one that comes to the top of my short wellingtons. One dog walker I meet has one that does that but she only comes up to my chest.

The alternative is to struggle into waterproof trousers every morning - so I get wet trousers instead which is a pain.

The one I’m wearing at the moment is one I’ve had for at least 20 years, and still going strong. It is a full on wet weather walkers jacket and cost an arm and leg at the time , but so worth it.

It depends what you want to wear underneath. I went bigger this time because I often wear a fleece or thick jumper underneath.

My DH has the man's version and it does the job.

The longer length seasalt tsincoats are lovely. I think they're influenced by the recent dryrobe craze, as they have the same furry lining as a dryrobe.

I find my Windermere by Cotton Traders, as pictured above by Joseanne very useful. They are reduced by £10 to £65 at the moment.

Try looking on Vinted .Great bargains and very easy site to use .I have just bought( albeit a short raincoat ) a Joules waterproof for £10 + postage very happy with purchase.

Yes that is what I mean.

Has anyone tried Tog24?
I've had a look, and there are a couple of coats in the sale that I like, but I've never heard of them before, or what their sizing is like.

Since hoods are always huge on me I bought this one from QVC. I have it on three payments of £36.

I have a Seasalt coat bought 5 years ago and still going strong.

I should have added that on me, the Ruth Langsford coat comes to just below knee length. I'm 5' 3".

Thank you for all you help

Thanks Joseanne, I'd not be wearing a fleece or thick jumper so I think I'll go for the smaller size (and hope to lose a pound or 10 as well!)

I bought from M and Co a lovely waterproof coat with a thin winter lining for about £79.00 I am very pleased with it. If I still feel cold I wear a thick sweater underneath. It is navy with white spots.

I have a Sea Salt raincoat which keeps me bone dry. However the hood is too big and won't stay up as it doesn't have pull ties the wind blows it off so I wear a hat. I'm pleased with but it's not the most stylish item. I have Hobbs Trench coat which is much more stylish but only shower proof. Can't win the all!

Many years ago, I had a gorgeous navy trench coat, almost ankle length, great with boots, from Robertson's Rainwear in Ayr. It was a size 14...so was I in those days!!
I still miss that shop, lovely fashionable rainwear.

I have a Regatta warm lined waterproof jacket, which needs replacing. I would prefer to get a longer style this time, but the ones I’ve seen - in Seasalt for instance - are hugely expensive. Is it worth investing? Are they good? Or any other recommendations? Thanks

My DiL gave me a Seasalt long rainproof coat, pretty and light, I cannot recommend them enough, yes they ARE expensive but if you can manage, worth every penny IMO. love it.

and Seasalt have superb customer relations - long chats on phone, discussion of detail of fit of different styles (ie see good for my T shirt shape, others good if you are a bit more "pear".sizing etc.

Sarah74, my riding raincoat is long - and waterproof with taped seams:

I’ve just bought a gorgeous raincoat from Ilse Jacobsen. Danish company - 40% off for Black Friday and in a huge range of colours and lengths. They sell them in John Leriscand similar shops but cheaper from their website.

I bought a good quality wax jacket with hood from New Forest Clothing through their eBay store. £39.99. It’s very good.
