As title really, I got fed up last winter of getting a cold bum so am looking for a really warm and waterproof winter coat for doing the yard and riding in, that comes down below the bottom instead of riding up constantly. I had the Musto Combination (3 in 1) coat in mind but see that it has been discontinued :( Any recommendations for something similar please? Thanks!
 
I got given a riding 3/4 mac for my birthday thought id never use it. Well it's been a fair bit in all this rain, it's thin but big enough to put a warmer coat underneath.

I'm also going to buy the caldene catcliff coat as tried it on the other day and fell in love with it, just got to wait till I get paid now
 
I have a full length riding coat from Farmways, ideal for riding, but might be a bit long for yard work. My winter wear is thermal long johns under jods, they pull up to cover the lower back, then a jumper under my hi viz jacket, which is fleece lined and too warm to wear so far.
 
My Caldene wax jacket has just sprung a leak its only a year and a bit old and had light use

I now need a new one too
 
I bought a Mountain horse one last year, think it was called the winnipeg and I loved it, its still going strong now. They have bought out a new range this year though, just had a look and I think the equivalent would be the windsor jacket
 
I've given up on buying riding jackets as they are so over priced, I now ride in a ski jacket, I got mine from Helly Hansen (in the sale) I've had it for years & I'm really pleased with it.
 
Just make sure you tuck in your t-shirt/jumper into your pants so that no draughts can get in then fasten your belt and wear elasticated or close fitting cuffs; it all helps with feeling draughty!

Ebay is your friend for second hand Musto, all of mine has come from there (including a 3 in 1 almost brand new) and some of it is on a sixth winter. Whatever you buy, buy quality, it lasts and lasts, you'll probably get fed up of it before it wears out.
 
Another vote for mountain horse, TK Maxx is my second home and I have a couple of great lightweight down jackets for medium cold from there. But for serious cold and the very best quality nothing beats mountain horse, they are based in Canada so they know about cold.
