waterproof Barn jacket?

[Dijos]

I've been looking for a barn jacket for some time. Since it rains horribly here, I'd like it o be waxed cotton, or oilskin. The problem I'm running into, is that the ones I find are also fleece lined; It is far too hot for a lined jacket here. Any body know where I can find what I'm a' lookin' for?

Not exactly barn coats but take a look at:

I was going to suggest an arctic extreme work coat by carhart.....until I saw your location :foot:
Thats what I wear all winter here. The outside is Cordura instead of the normal carhart material. Makes it shed water real well, and it holds up great. Has a 2 way zipper so I can unzip it from the bottom when I riding my horse.The arctic weight lining might be a problem down there in florida though
You might see if they have any lighter weight jackets with the same cordura material though. Its held up really well for me, and its alot more breathable than a normal raincoat which might help with the heat.

you might like this one http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=156485 you can go with or without liner. I have a friend that uses one to ride mules in the rain. he swears by it

Considering the heat down there, a traditional barn coat might be pretty heavy, even in waxed cotton.

Take a look at Helly Hanson and see if they have something for you http://hellyhansengear.com/catalog/ -- especially the Men's Shells & Rainwear.

I've got pants and parka. Very light but effective for warm weather downpours.

I have had a Border jacket for about ten years. Liner for winter but it's comfortable in the summer. Utterly practical - pockets for everything including game.

I' ve used Kakadu Traders, Australian Outback, and Barbour oilskin/ wax coats. All only lined with light cotton or flannel to help minimize the "wax" from coming thru. With only a sweatshirt underneath in the cold weather, I still sweat like I' m in the summer! Maybe it' s just me. But if you heat up easily then this type jacket is not for you! Sorry if I' ve upset your cautious equilibrium.

easy - get a drizabone, (www.drizabone.com.au) i have the short coat and the full length one and i love them they are expensive but they will last for years. when i last saw my cousin he still has his and its 10 years old, it looks worn but still has many years left in it

I got one of these recently. I have not yet tried it out in a downpour but it's great for $50
