In search of THE PERFECT COAT
After borrowing THE PERFECT COAT in Ireland last year, I set out to look for one that was similar, but more suited to southern Australian conditions (read: toasty, but not too toasty, but also fully waterproof with a generous hood).
My algorithm started to pick up what I was putting down and, voila! Nothing could compare to the Red Slimline! I went back and forth between competitors and kept coming back to Red.
I’ve got a long weekend of soccer tournament spectating, a winter of pony club rallies, winter surfing, winter soccer coaching and school yard duties to get through and shower-resistant down coats don’t cut it. I tried.
The fit is generous - when the temps drop in Victoria, I’ll be able to fit a cosy knit underneath. I’ll be able to stretch forward to pick things up without tearing seams at the shoulders.
The length means no cold wind will get up my back and I can get a decent walk stride in.
And the comments from all who see it - coat envy is real!
