It's washable too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-waterproof-lightweight-hooded-trench#post-952829 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:05:08 +0000 rebekahphoto 952829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this one, the Merrel Miette. It might be slightly heavier than you are looking for, might want to check the weight. it keeps the water off.<br />The zipper and button option on the front is great!&nbsp; and the pockets have zips to keep things in.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Merrell-Womens-Miette-Jacket/dp/B009LES3UA" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Merrell-.....B009LES3UA</a></p> <p>I also really like the more classic style of the northface allena.

I usually also prefer the look of a trench coat over a zip style, but do like some dressier raincoats with zip closure.</p> <p>ETA: I just saw that Soïa &amp; Kyo is having a flash sale on their raincoats:<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.soiakyo.com/en_ca/shop-online/women/rainwear">http://www.soiakyo.com/en_ca/s.....n/rainwear</a><br />(enter RAIN25 at checkout).<br />They all have a zip closure&nbsp;though, but I just thought I'd mention it for the other ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-waterproof-lightweight-hooded-trench#post-952664 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:30:51 +0000 Diana 952664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions so far!&nbsp; Keep them coming!</p> <p>I keep coming up with the gear vs. fashion problem.&nbsp; To me, a lot of the truly waterproof things (as opposed to "water-resistant" which in my experience usually means OK for light rain but not for massive downpours) look rather gearish.&nbsp; I like the Rainforest coats - I think it might be a good compromise between form and function.&nbsp; (Although I am not sold on the zip closures... somehow zips look very gearish to me).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-waterproof-lightweight-hooded-trench#post-952658 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:20:04 +0000 Raisin 952658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Rainforest asymmetric pacakble one that Inge linked.
