Raincoat

[Blueberry]

Does anybody know where I can buy a raincoat from or does anybody have any tips on what to by? All the ones I've seen are horrible 'heavy duty' type ones and I'm after something a bit more girlie...

It depends on what you are looking for and your budget.

I have a showerproof coat from tesco's that I can easily roll up in a rucksack if light showers are expected but I also have a waterproof jacket (hideous - but bought it for £3 last year from Primark and does the job) which I can use for heavier rain. Both are just above the knee length and so can sit down in tents etc without worrying too much. I also have a poncho from asda that cost £2 I think.

they got plastic waterproof raincoats in pound land for £1 for if it gets really bad and you can just shove that over your normal raincoat i might spray my pack a mack with waterproofer tho, and it needs a wash from stains the past 2 years lol x

Jak in a Pak or Kag in a Bag from millets - loadsa colours and they can clip onto your bag or belt while its sunny, then when the rain comes you unclip it and "KAPOW" you have a lovely warm, dry and pretty rain coat.

Love them x

I got mine in about May last year for a tenner in New Look in the sale. It's BRIGHT pink, really nice though. Very waterproof

I would also like a new waterproof jacket, last year I got the 'Pack a Poncho' from ASOS and it was far from waterproof! I am going to see if spraying it with Fabsil sorts this out, if not I may go for the Regatta pack a mac as my boyfriend had this last year and stayed dry in the rain!

Top Shop have got some nice parka-style waterproofs for about £20. They roll up really small. But, if it's looking like it's going to be mainly sunny for the fest, buy one of those flat pack ponchos for £3 which you can slip into your bag in case of sudden downpours. They double-up as sit-mats.

If it's looking like another mudfest, then invest in proper waterproofs from Milletts, including waterproof trousers. Not glamorous, but they were a God-send in the 05 flash flooding and the 07 deluges.
