Alizé Rain Trench Coat

The coat is beautiful. The style and the material is exactly what I was looking for in a raincoat. However, I'm perplexed why they would "hidden snaps" that are cheap velcro. The velcro is not easy to snap because they are thin and definitely will not last overtime. If you leave the jacket open the velcro has a plastic sheen that doesn't look good either. Lole should have used magnetic or button snaps or something more durable for the price. Had to return.

Packing for a trip with rainy weather in the forecast, and needed a dressier rain coat. This is perfect. The mocha brown color goes with everything and the quality is fantastic. So much attention to detail. Even though water does soak into the outermost layer of fabric, it is waterProof (not just repellent). The fabric is undercoated with an impermeable layer and all of the seams are heat sealed, not stitched, so water's not getting in. There's a hidden zip pocket under the front snap flap where a phone fits well. Love the hood that easily & neatly folds up into a standing collar. One thing....the sleeves a little long which should not be a prob when wearing a sweater underneath - that should take up some of the slack My usual size small fits (32" bust, 27" waist, 37" hips, very square shoulders, long arms)
