Fit issues in outerwear are tough for me too. You gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince!</p> <p>I like the first black one and the grey one you added. Hope one of these will work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1260195 Sat, 24 May 2014 17:52:06 +0000 Astrid 1260195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah. :)</p> <p>Glory, it was Lands End - we don't have LLBean here.I did look at Lands End but to be honest I'm not sure I'm trusting their jackets enough to really keep me dry in a downpour or all day drizzle out in nature.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1260056 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:39:14 +0000 Glory 1260056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid did you buy your Puffer from LLBean or from Lands End? I can't remember. You had such excellent results I am wondering if it is worth trying them again. LLBean has wonderful rain jackets in many colours that look like they could be just right and at reasonable price points. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259947 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:53:53 +0000 Deborah 1259947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed for you. I do like the look of the black one:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259945 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:48:18 +0000 Astrid 1259945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaileen! That's a good point of course and probably the reason why there are so many bright colors available when it comes to gear. I just have to take care to always keep close to one of my siblings who all have brighter jackets. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Ummlila! I actually tried that one a while ago when it was on mark down in early spring, but the cut didn't work for me. It would have been too thin besides. </p> <p>Thanks Aida. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259683 Fri, 23 May 2014 23:44:12 +0000 Aida 1259683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm crossing my fingers for you! Especially for that second one, that looks way more you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259620 Fri, 23 May 2014 22:19:27 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1259620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this one. <a href="http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/womens-torrentshell-waterproof-rain-jacket?p=83806-0" rel="nofollow">http://www.patagonia.com/us/pr.....?p=83806-0</a> But my neighbor has it and we already have matching Patagonia winter jackets so I can't get it. She looks glamor fit in it (she is 74) when she comes to pilates class. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259513 Fri, 23 May 2014 20:00:03 +0000 JAileen 1259513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey one. Black is probably more practical than blue, but I was hoping for a really bright color. When it's rainy is when drivers have a hard time seeing pedestrians. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259509 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:55:52 +0000 Astrid 1259509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks - I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much though, I've tried on too many jackets already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259505 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:49:24 +0000 Alassë 1259505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, now <i>that </i>looks like Astrid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259502 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:46:35 +0000 Astrid 1259502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Alasse! I think you're right, the blue is too bright. I think I'm going to try the black one. I found another jacket I'm going to order too, the one below. Less technical but it might be enough to keep dry. Also quite a bit more expensive, but if it works out I'd have a jacket in a nice color that doesn't look so much like gear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259495 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:39:53 +0000 Alassë 1259495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Eva? I know black isn't your best, but the blue is so electric.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259487 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:29:24 +0000 Astrid 1259487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks gardenchick! I will keep you posted if it works out or not.</p> <p>Thanks Eva. You know, I feel just like you about the black. I don't really want black, but I had so many fit issues that I tried on everything in the store regarless of color (and still found nothing). Of course a navy or a grey would be awesome, but that might be asking for too much. I'm going to browse the store before I order this one, maybe there's one in a nicer color I could try additionally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259484 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:25:02 +0000 E 1259484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, commiserations! With those two options, I'd (grudgingly) go with black, because bright colours like that blue don't flatter me at all&nbsp;and look more gear-ish. But I'd secretly be hoping a navy blue or charcoal grey option would show up. Don't know if that's any help to you, and sadly I don't have any other recs (I inherited my mom's old raincoat, 20 years old and still working beautifully: I love it because the hood rolls up/snaps away and there's an inner&nbsp;drawstring at the waist so I feel less swallowed alive. Maybe features to keep an eye out for? Though it sounds like you have a severe lack of options.).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259481 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:20:44 +0000 gardenchick 1259481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that shopping for jackets is quite challenging, which is why I don't own enough of them!<br /> Like the black, hope it works for you.

I could always add a scarf to soften the black near my face. I really hope this works out, I want to have it over with. At least I know that it's a good jacket, my brother has stayed dry so far in his. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259476 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:15:18 +0000 Anonymous 1259476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with black as more versatile unless you want something sporty. The blue looks more sporty and gear like to me. Great looking jacket. I hope it works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-rain-jacket#post-1259473 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:07:58 +0000 Astrid 1259473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really fed up with rain jackets, I can tell you. I feel like they just don't make ones that fit me. Biggest issues are that they're too tight in the hips and that the sleeves are way too long. I was in a big outdoor department store today and tried on every rain jacket that was in the budget. Nothing worked - I can tell you the SA despaired.</p> <p>I'm giving online shopping another try and will order the women's version of the rain jacket my brother has. In another color though, he has it in red. I'm wondering whether I should go with the more 'dressy' black or with the blue. I normally like blue better than black, but this looks very bright. The first two are the stock pics, the last three are pics I found at other sites.</p> <p>What do you think? Any other recommendations what I could try? </p> <p>ETA</p> <p>I ordered the black and also&nbsp;additionally the jacket down below in the thread. Keep your fingers crossed!</p>
