Gorgeous coat and worth a second try. I recently used a breathable waterproof spray on a pack able raincoat I purchased at Nordstrom. It seemed water resistant, but I couldn't take a chance on a trip. It worked out great after it was kept hanging in the garage for a few days to air it out post-spray. </p> <p>Good luck with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578403 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 11:47:41 +0000 Elizabeth P 1578403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really Sveta, that is very interesting.&nbsp; Thanks so much for chiming in.&nbsp; I will definitely call them armed with that info!&nbsp; Maybe they'd be willing to exchange it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578396 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 11:32:53 +0000 Sveta 1578396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really strange. I wore mine on a recent trip with 3 really rainy days and we stayed outside for hours. My shoes got wet but the jacket kept me dry. &nbsp;Maybe yours is defective? Definitely call Nordstrom to complain about the quality.<br />:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578294 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 02:08:21 +0000 Aquamarine 1578294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad.

(I did some time in Moncton and Fredericton - can you say 'snow-belt'? ) </p> <p>Along Lake Ontario we are getting the tail end of some hurricane or other. Lots of rain yesterday, and cold today. I got myself a collapsible umbrella at Harry Rosen that is quite lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578284 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 01:55:21 +0000 Elizabeth P 1578284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry folks, ended up spending the evening sewing a Halloween costume. I'd assumed I had sat to work on it, but turns out it's needed for school tomorrow. still some work to do, going to be an interesting morning...</p> <p>I have always gone with real gear raincoats in the past, and actually have quite a nice Columbia coat that doesn't scream gear, but it's in a colour that isn't my best. North face had a nice one a couple of years ago, which I have kicked myself for not getting. But I would have had to get black, which I was hoping to avoid (too many black coats!). </p> <p>I'm someone who refuses to be bossed around by the weather, you just can't be, living in the maritimes. </p> <p>Anyway, thanks for the commiseration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578255 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 01:20:46 +0000 Dee 1578255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I've worn mine a few times, but always had an umbrella so far. I wasn't expecting waterproof, but kind of assumed water resistant. I really wanted this to be my bad weather trench for the foreseeable future too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578244 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 00:27:58 +0000 Anonymous 1578244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I followed your link and I agree with Aida that calling it a "raincoat" means it's for wearing in the rain.</p> <p>I'd call Nordstrom about it. At best, they'll refund you, at worst they'll note your complaint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578228 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 00:07:33 +0000 retailgirl 1578228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only coats that are waterproof are rubber or some similar type of fabric...with sealed seams. This one did not say it was "waterproof", so caveat emptor. Rubber slickers and their ilk are waterproof. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578213 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 23:52:14 +0000 JAileen 1578213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry. That's really too bad. My husband always says to go with gear companies for function. He does not like fashion companies for this kind of thing. I'd return it unless you just like the looks of it.</p> <p>I have a Patagonia Vosque 3 in 1 coat and on the Patagonia website it says "waterproof". A couple weeks of drizzle, rain and snow in Turkey last winter proved them right. However, it's not a trench, I'm sorry to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578180 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 22:49:32 +0000 Angie 1578180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really? That's sooooo annoying. Perhaps it's water-resistant?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578176 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 22:38:00 +0000 Aida 1578176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That seems odd. "Rain coat" sort of implies water proof or at LEAST water resistant for more than 10 minutes :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578172 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 22:34:48 +0000 Anonymous 1578172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear that. &nbsp;I would be so sad. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578163 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 22:21:11 +0000 Peri 1578163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How can something be a raincoat and not be waterproof? That is pretty ridiculous. I'd return it and hold out for something better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578153 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 21:48:25 +0000 Elizabeth P 1578153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just checking that Lisa, and technically, no.&nbsp; It calls itself a raincoat, but nowhere does it say it's waterproof.&nbsp; Go figure.</p> <p>Ummlila, I do have various waterproofing treatments, meant for Goretex once it's aged/washed/no longer pristine, that I may use.&nbsp; Or I may just resign myself to it being a nice trench coat that MIGHT be water resistant enough for the two blocks I need to walk between work and the car, and keep looking for something else.&nbsp; I don't think I'm going to complain/try to return, as I DO like it, esp the removable lining feature, just was hoping for more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578144 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 21:30:19 +0000 Anonymous 1578144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? That's ridiculous. Did it claim to be water-resistant/water-proof?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578143 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 21:24:21 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1578143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a drag. And it was such a good color for you. Would you consider Scotch garding it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-nas-micael-kors-raincoat-is-not-waterproof#post-1578141 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 21:19:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 1578141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very disappointed :(.&nbsp; That was a real HEWI for me... a trench/dress coat that looked good, AND was waterproof.&nbsp; Well, wore mine today for the first time in wet weather, and when I got home, after only being outside for about 10 min, the sleeves of my sweater were soaked.&nbsp; </p> <p>Back to the drawing board. </p>
