I need to replace my long riding coat and have been looking to see what is available. I don't want a wax coat as they are heavy and get rather smelly. I can't afford a new Musto Suffolk and when they come up on ebay they are always bigger sizes (I'm a size 10/12). Any recommendations or ones to avoid from the list below? Are there any that I haven't come across? I want something that will stay waterproof for at a least a couple of years.

Bridleway Yukon
Jack Murphy Malvern
Shires Nevada
Kramer Felix buhler
HKM Dublin

These are all around the £50 mark but I don't mind spending a bit more.

I also come across the HKM Seattle which has a really full 'skirt' and is about £130 - anybody got one of these? Is it worth the money?

thanks
 
Have you got a Musto outlet near you? Might be worth keeping an eye on.

Jack Murphy coats always used to be good, no idea if they've changed.
 
Have you thought about waterproof chaps / overtrousers instead? I find they keep me far drier than my old long coat did.
 
Ebenezer - thanks that's useful to know :)

teapot - I'm not aware of any Musto outlets but I do check the Musto website regularly for sales etc as I really rate their clothing.

annagain - I have got waterproof overtrousers but I find them restrictive to ride in. They never feel very comfortable but that might be just be the type I've got but I can't remember which ones they are.
 
I have the Shires Nevada (I think anyway) which will probably get more use now I'm not on a yard with big indoor barn stables and connecting indoor school ... oh and turnout and bring in included ... Yeah i think its going to get a lot more use this year. Beware you will get called a Wizard!!
