5 Trail Model RainwearCoat
2013年2月28日5 Trail Model RainwearCoat
Otherwise, all these coats are lighter than the classical raincoat. All have a zipped closure, with a rainflap secured by snaps. It looiks like the longest is the LL Bean version.
I think I had noted that, and of course, for urban travel I’d only get a darker color, gray or black, and I need an XL. I do get the impression that for urban travel, likely the Nau might be the best choice, most likely to look reasonable over a sport coat and dress slacks. My guess as to relative length would be that the Marmot Traveler is the shortest, and the Bean coat the longest, but that the Nau is at least close to knee length. coat like my Burberry is no big deal, since it has about the same bulk as a sport coat, but as always, carry-on has a different set of dimensions. As best as I can estimate, the Nau (or the other two options) are half the weight and bulk (and probably more waterproof to boot.)
I called the very nice folks at Nau in Portland, a city that, by the way, yearly gets twice as much as London. As I inferred, the Succinct Trenchcoat in my size is 41.5" in length, probably coming to the top of my knee, which would be 10.5" shorter than my mid-calf length microfiber/nylon Burberry trenchcoat, and 7.5" longer than the Solstice hip length Gore-tex jacket I have used for years. Marmot lists their Traveler as 34.5", but likely that’s in a Medium to perhaps Large, so I’d think their Extra Large might be 37". As to weight, likely the 15 oz. Nau lists for their www.burberrybagoutlet.co.uk Succinct Trenchcoat is for a Medium. Their representative kindly weighed their XL for me, and called back to advise that an burberry XL is 22 oz. That compares with my 13.25 oz. Large-Tall Marmot PreCip, clearly a great travel jacket, at , save that it’s clearly shorter, mine coming in at 29.5", a full foot shorter burberry bags than the Nau garment; the matching full zip rain pants from Marmot come to 10.5 oz. However, I can’t quite see wearing rain pants on a city trip, unless one of the events was sitting in an outdoor stadium with the pending weather questionable. Burberry, by the way, is rather generous on their sizing. Mine is a 42, but feels fine on my nominally now size 44 body, likely related to its being sized for someone wearing a shirt, a sweater and a tweed jacket, more than I’d ever wear, I think. Usually in cool weather, walking around a damp city, probably I’d just have a sweater on beneath it.
A CAGOULE is a mountaineer’s bivouac garment, NOT BREATHABLE, that has only a short front zip. These features make it not very suitable for the sort of urban travel that most forum readers do. I have one of these, very lightweight, and breathable, clearly a potential choice for light travel, though it does nothing to protect one’s pants. With due respect to the water-logged folks in the East, who won’t be convinced that it’s not still the rainy season, for a mass marketer like Landsend, the rainy season is ending, and with that, it’s time to move out the winter merchandise.
"I prefer to use a slightly below waist length goretex jacket www.burberrybagoutlet.co.uk/burberry-shoulder-bags-c-4.html with a quick drying pant"As I think I posted elsewhere, that’s a good reason to travel with at least one pair of pants like the REI Adventure pant, BUT, if one’s urban ventures involve wearing wool slacks or the like, then the longer raincoat becomes more desirable, up to an including a trenchcoat. My Burberry is 22" longer than my Marmot PreCip, but of course the latter is incredibly less expensive, 60% lighter, etc. Somewhere between those two extremes, a traveler finds his (or her) comfort point, which beyond that, may VARY one trip to the next.
Thank you Dan. I did look at the Aqua0 website, and concur that these might work well for travel. In fact, I have dropped them a note, to get more details. Presuming that they respond, I will probably do a separate posting of the further information. While the site states that the coat weighs 11 oz., almost surely that’s for a Small or perhaps a Medium. , which still would be maybe half of what my Burberry trenchcoat weighs. But in case it’s useful, I thought this would be a good time to say hi. ("hi!")I have the short version of the LL Bean raincoat, in the Tek 2.5 fabric. I also have the matching rain pants. I wear both for commuting by bike all winter and wet spring/fall days in Boston. Absolutely and completely waterproof in my experience, I haven’t had any leaks, the zips are properly sealed, etc. Breathability is OK, I kind of think there is no such thing as a truly breathable waterproof, but this is decent. I would get a weird thing where it felt like I was getting wet, but at the other end, clothes were not wet at all. I think it was just internal moisture that eventually went away. If you’re looking for something fairly light and waterproof, it’s a good option (plus their warranty is great)Personally, I wouldn’t bother with something like this for a London trip, which I believe is one of your stops this summer? I had 6 summers in London and never wore my waterproof other than at Glastonbury. I would suggest a good umbrella (which you can buy at any boots, superdrug or m for 10-20 quid), and a light trench-style coat or blazer. That’s just to keep your elbows dry. For guys, I don’t know how to avoid damp trouser leg bottoms, but these coats wouldn’t stop that either. For ladies I cannot recommend tights, ideally with boots, enough, it is wonderful how quickly they dry once you’re inside. Shoes that won’t fall apart in water are key as well. So, yeah, if you’re keen to buy a raincoat, that is a decent one. If you already have some light outerwear that you can layer with, I really think that’s all you need. Hope that isn’t too off topic to try to discourage a whole class of item?!
