That's so weird and annoying about the lint!</p> <p>I am returning this one for sure. You've all confirmed my suspicion that it's too big and bulky. I'm going to try Isabel's if we can track one down in a reasonable size for me. (thanks, Isabel!). It's surprisingly hard to find a raincoat that's actually waterproof! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958817 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:59:22 +0000 rae 958817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, yeah, I like it but for the fact that it looks too big. Bummer! Have you checked Ebay? I think I remember seeing some on there back when I was looking for a similar thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, RE: the North Face, I do think it's too heavy for summer. AND, I was just considering posting a followup review of it, because I am returning it! The black attracts lint like <i>supercrazy</i> - tags aren't even off, it's just been hanging in the closet, and it's covered. My other black items are ok. So weird and frustrating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958787 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:11:24 +0000 Isabel 958787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is a clearance, but they have had some version of it for a few years now. Do you want a regular or a petite ? &nbsp;Because if you want a regular, they may have it at one of the 3 stores near me. I will gladly check on it.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958779 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:03:04 +0000 Diana 958779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, I like that coat a lot! And it's not double breasted! Unfortunately navy is not available in S or M... Do they generally restock as returns come back in? I will keep an eye out. I know I want a dark color. I feel like raincoat material looks less gearish if it's dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958751 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:26:55 +0000 Anonymous 958751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about the cut for you. It might technically fit, but it adds so much bulk where you don't need it. I love Isabel's idea for you. The navy is gorgeous and that silhouette would look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958719 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:00:21 +0000 Glory 958719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like this colour quite a bit but have to agree with some of the others that it appears too large for you. Very frustrating to try and find but is worth the effort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958715 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:56:29 +0000 Isabel 958715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I voted nay. It just doesn't seem right on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have had 3 of the coats below. As I have gained weight, I have bought one. They are completely waterproof and uber lightweight. They run large so you might want to size down. &nbsp;( my sister has one too ) They also have petites.&nbsp;</p> <p>They are an absolute bargain at $40 right now. The great thing about Land's End is that you can decide 10 years from now that you don't like it and they will take it back &nbsp;( same policy as Nordstrom and LL Bean ). The pic does not give it justice. It doesn't look as A line IRL. &nbsp;I own the latest version...but mine was $90.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-sunshower-coat~238187_59.html">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....87_59.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958703 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:45:04 +0000 Suz 958703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. Yes, I agree the fit seems not quite right on this. So frustrating. I quite like the colour on you, though, and I don't mind the double breasted style either, at least not in theory.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958652 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:02:31 +0000 Diana 958652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Adelfa, the waist is actually at my natural waist. I am just that short waisted. :P. but I do agree there is too much material. Not sure a smaller size would be better actually (and it is not available anyway) since a lot of double breasted styles just look too disproportionate on my short upper half regardless of the actual fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958649 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:57:21 +0000 Adelfa 958649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The waist seems high and there seems to be too much material at the hips and hem. I vote keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958644 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:53:25 +0000 pil 958644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, it's close but I think it looks a bit large too. Raisin has a cool gearish fabric (I think) jacket but I can't remember the brand. I looked at the site once when she mentioned it - very interesting.</p> <p>ETA <a href="http://www.rudsakstore.com/ladies-outerwear-c-1/gender-women-p6-5/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rudsakstore.com/lad.....omen-p6-5/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958641 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:51:39 +0000 Diana 958641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, most of the gear companies make trenches that look too... Well, gearish. My big thing is I want buttons and a belt, not zip and drawstring. There is the north face one that Rae got, but I have a suspicion it's too heavy for summer. I may try it anyway though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958633 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:46:04 +0000 DonnaF 958633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color on you, but to my eye it looks a bit big so I would really like to see the U/A medium on you.&nbsp; Do any of the gear companies like Eddie Bauer and REI have waterproof trenches? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-rainforest-waterproof-trench#post-958610 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:15:01 +0000 Diana 958610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might remember that last week I decided I really needed a summer coat that was actually waterproof.&nbsp; A couple of you suggested Rainforest trenches as something that is waterproof but doesn't look too gearish.&nbsp; This olive one was on sale at 6pm for a really good price; unfortunately they only had a large available (I'm usually a Medium) but since some reviews mentioned that Rainforest jackets ran small, I thought I'd give it a try.&nbsp; Anyway, here it is.&nbsp; The color is a greyish olive - my pants are a true olive green and you can see the jacket looks much more grey.&nbsp; The material seems pretty waterproof and it was even somewhat breathable as far as I could tell.&nbsp; It's a little heavier than my current (non-waterproof) blue trench that I want to replace but it would be OK for summer rain.&nbsp; I can't really figure out the belt - it has a buckle but is super long, so I just gave up and tied it.&nbsp; <br />I'm a little concerned about the size - does it look too big, and is it swamping me?&nbsp; It doesn't actually feel huge in the shoulders but I feel like the style might just be overwhelming me, especially when open.&nbsp; Also, I know double breasted is not the best silhouette for me although my current blue trench is as well so sometimes I can get away with it.&nbsp; And what about the color?&nbsp; </p>
