Best lightweight waterproof jacket/coat....

[Micky]

All the coats/jackets i try on always seem to be too short in the arms...does anyone else have this problem? Which jacket/coat ( not showing tweeds etc) do you recommend for my ape like arms

I find most ladies jackets sleeves are to short so I buy gents jackets, my apologies if you are not of the female persuasion and this wee gem is of no use

Go on ebay and get an ex police coat. Great quality at bargain prices. I got a full hi viz coat, windproof, breathable and waterproof with removable lining for £37 delivered. It's the best coat ever!!

Wow, thanks everyone

Jomiluti ones are the only ones I've ever found to be long enough for my arms. They are designed for jockeys so cut to allow for arms forward. Also have elastic ayes sleeves, very lightweight and breathable. A great investment.

My friend has go-go-gadget arms and is waxing lyrical about her Zara Phillips Musto jacket...
