There is a similar one out by Patagonia, but it is 3-4 inches shorter. I don't think I want black, white or beige. :T </p> <p>Suz, I'm happy I'm not boring everyone to tears. I feel bad because I *just* had a trench saga last year! Who knew I wouldn't be able to handle a polyester lining?

Quite apart from not liking the colour as much, the sleeves are just stupid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841752 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:46:24 +0000 catgirl 841752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gear</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/marmot-womens-destination-jacket-black~1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/marmot-w.....et-black~1</a></p> <p>Cute</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/vince-camuto-asymmetrical-zip-trench-w-button-out-liner-navy" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/vince-ca.....liner-navy</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841750 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:44:48 +0000 catgirl 841750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the TNF one you tried?</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/the-north-face-raincoat-stella-grace-hooded-trench-coat?ID=706875&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....sn_results</a></p> <p>Also</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/dkny-coat-quilted-trench-raincoat?ID=684911&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....sn_results</a></p> <p>Have not checked breathability on these though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841741 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:37:11 +0000 rae 841741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, that is beautiful, Una! It doesn't say anything about breathability, though... I'm trying to be a stickler about that, since it was the main catalyst for the new trench hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841739 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:34:49 +0000 rae 841739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that is that! The Spiewak goes back and the Nau is the current reigning champ. I just ordered this one to try from Timberland, but I suspect it will be too heavy. Reviews of other garments have also commonly stated that the colors online look nothing like real life, so I'm not holding my breath. But I had a 20% off code and free 2-day shipping, so no harm in trying.</p> <p>Mia, I SO hear you. I wish we could add on features like with a car.... hold the down filling/power windows, but can I get a wicking liner/sunroof? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841734 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:32:39 +0000 catgirl 841734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Randomly found this... but you don't want indigo, right?</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/green-with-envy-coat-hooded-belted-quilted-raincoat?ID=685132&#038;PartnerID=LINKSHARE&#038;cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-4-_-41-_-MP441&#038;LinkshareID=J84DHJLQkR4-l_qTM8cHfYKPTAK.IljexA" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....TAK.IljexA</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841733 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:30:00 +0000 catgirl 841733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Nau!

NAU is much more better except in the slightly too long looking dept. I find it so frustrating when I find aspects I want in 3 different garments but not one that does it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841582 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:11:31 +0000 Angie 841582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The NAU looks better than the budget anorak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841577 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:06:33 +0000 rae 841577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, interesting. DH said the only better thing about this one is the color. I added a flash-less pic above for comparison. </p> <p>Hm, I do agree that this is the least versatile, I think. Even though the Nau is more gear-ish than the classic trench style, it seems more dressy than the anorak because it is long and could protect the hems of shorter dresses. And yes, wet knees are just as irritating as wet, soggy bootcut hems! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841563 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:50:29 +0000 Aida 841563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm in the photos the color of the jacket stands away from you (if that makes sense) but if I picture the color as you describe it seems like it'd work on you. So, not too sure on the color. The style looks the most gearish (the sheen probably adds to that), but is decently cute for gear that's obviously gear. As far as being useful at keeping rain off of you, I prefer the longer length of the Nau (I haaaate having wet knees!). Because it's so casual it's definitely the least versatile of the lot. I think I prefer the Nau!</p> <p>(Love the choppy hair today!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841560 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:46:58 +0000 Jjsloane 841560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I like better on this one is the shoulder fit and the length. (sorry when it's side by side I still like a little shorter) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841557 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:43:10 +0000 Anonymous 841557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't care for it on you, and the sleeves are just weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841551 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:41:06 +0000 Anonymous 841551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the style, but I don't like the color on you. Much prefer the Nau overall in general compared to the budget anorak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-slicker-saga-continues-moss-green-budget-anorak#post-841530 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:30:14 +0000 rae 841530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, this Spiewak Moss green anorak is a couple inches shorter than even the North Face trench was. It also has a mesh lining instead of the wicking fleece, NO secure pockets, and strangely open parts in the sleeves (#3). However, it *does* have a hood, is just as lightweight, and it was only $40. Breathability is being tested, not sure yet. </p> <p>How is this color on me? It is about the color of the green olives one gets in the jar with pimento, just a bit lighter. I can't quite tell if it washes me out like a pastel or if the sheen brightens me up. Also, any thoughts on the style overall? It is much less dressy than either coat I've tried so far. </p>
