That pic makes it look like it might be lighter and drape better than other photos I'd seen. </p> <p>Not to beat a dead horse, but I also found these, made specifically for cyclists. But yeesh, I'd have to buy from the UK, and they are like $500. Getting to the point where I could get a Burberry off ebay for that much $$. </p> <p>The one thing that makes me wonder about the Nau is that Angie didn't like it. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae---another-trench-coat-option#post-842991 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:43:27 +0000 catgirl 842991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, what is that? It looks pretty darn awesome. </p> <p>I think the liner is the real issue. It's hard to find something breathable WITH a liner, and hard to find something fashionable without. Are you trying to find something liner-free?</p> <p>I like the Nau, but I was thinking it was your holdover because you had a couple of issues with it? If not, then you should be done.</p> <p>I'm having fun searching for stuff for you and other people here - keeps me from itchy shopping hands of my own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae---another-trench-coat-option#post-842978 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:28:35 +0000 rae 842978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, you are so sweet to be looking for me! I feel like my eyes are going to bleed from all the coats I've looked at. </p> <p>I am pretty paranoid about breathability, because I believe the Scottevest and the Norma Kamali I had were *supposed* to be water-resistant and breathable, yet I did not find that to be so. After reading a bit on gear WPB ratings, I'm wondering if I just give off vapor too fast for "standard" breathability rate. I dunno. I just haaaate that feeling of a lining sticking to me - bleah! Then there is the weight issue, since you never know when the sun is going to come out and force the coat off...</p> <p>I considered the Patagonia in "molten lava" red, but most of the reviews are very critical of the hood.</p> <p>Are you thinking I should give up on the Nau? I was leaning toward keeping it, as everything else seems to come up lacking either in the weight, lining, or color category.</p> <p>ETA: Part of me wants to run with the whole gear thing and get the olive version of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae---another-trench-coat-option#post-842949 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:43:54 +0000 catgirl 842949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And as far as gear goes:</p> <p><a href="http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/patagonia-womens-arborist-trench-coat-waterproof-rain-jacket?p=27175-0-920" rel="nofollow">http://www.patagonia.com/us/pr.....7175-0-920</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae---another-trench-coat-option#post-842948 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:43:13 +0000 catgirl 842948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with a comment on the other thread that "waterproof breathable" is difficult to find in anything but actual gear. Water resistant is more of an option.
