I once thought rain coats should be big, shiny, and yellow, but now I know that those are not the elements that keep me dry in the rain. Now I am loving my microfiber rain coat (in sand) from Lands’ End. The coat seems to be worth a few versions so you may also wish to look at the Microfiber Rain Coat with Zip Out Liner (pink or blue, $69.99), Regular Microfiber Raincoat (navy or sand, $79.50), Microfiber Rain Coat (black, $59.99), or Regular SunShower Raincoat (six solid colors or four patterns, $79.50).
What makes this coat a personal favorite?
* It doesn’t look like a raincoat – Can be worn like a trench or overcoat, but I’m prepare in case of scattered showers or a surprise downpour.
* It is machine washable - I’ve gotten it muddy and washed it to look new again, still handles rain like a champ.
* It has a pretty lining – When I bought the coat I didn’t think much of the lining, but a few people have commented on the nice lining.
* It doesn’t wrinkle and is built to last - Even after wearing it in a rainy climate for over seven months and washing it at least once, it doesn’t wrinkle and resists the rain.
Not only does this coat not make you look like Paddington the Bear awaiting the rain when it has not yet arrived, but it resists wrinkles. I have made a habit of rolling the coat up to fit in my big handbag in case of rain and even after that it looks lovely. Did I mention they now have sweet Microfiber Rain Hats ($22.50) in coordinating colors and patterns? The coat itself does not have a hood, but the hat does the trick without taking away from the everyday elegance of the coat’s classic silhouette. They have a similar coat for men in their Regular Stormer Raincoat ($79.50-$89.50).
