Can anyone recommend the human equivalent of a 100g turnout rug please?
I want some filling/padding, so not a rain jacket, but don’t need ski jacket thick.
Needs to be waterproof and breathable, in black and quite long in the body (but not a knee length one, just one that goes past my hips!) budget £80-100.
I nabbed a le mieux one off eBay for a bargain but it’s too small and also really sturdy/stiff fabric, I can’t actually imagine doing yard chores in it?!

Weatherbeeta Kyla, can get them cheap if you're not fussy about the colour- they come in Navy, Grey & Mulberry, so not garish colours at all!
I've got it in the Mulberry at Christmas and it cost around £85 but have seen it in sales since for £50.
Edited to add may be a little longer than you are looking for but I'm really happy with mine, I'm 5'4 on a good day and it fits well

On the basis that I don't care what I look like on the yard, I buy Regatta Dover fleece lined jackets 2 sizes too big, which I can move in, don't overheat in, and they cover my bum (hate a soggy arse!). I could probably fit a lost puppy down the front if I found one whilst out riding and had to transport it home safely, which is always nice.
