Hey guys, and ladies. I'm looking for a warm, waterproof jacket. But it can't be nylon. It'll get ripped and torn, plus I can't stand listening to myself walk. Like hearing snow pants. Overall feeling of that "zzippyness" isn't a turn on. Pricewise, I'd like too keep it low as possible. Atleast under 150. But if it's good quality and what I'm looking for, it's flexible. Uhm. Black is pretty boring. Along with silver. But bright red or blue is kind of faggy. I live in Vermont so I pretty much have to look online. Macy's is like 2 hours away. Hmm. It has too be something you could wear out too dinner with a ladie friend. I guess that's about it. I've looked at a countless number of sites, but looking over a couple hundred coats is making me nutty. Thankyou everyone who tries to help! Waterproof isn't a huge dal. I just hate throwing it in the dryer everytime I get home, or over the heater. Hoods are also fine either way. Thnx again
