Anyone seen this coat or have any comments?
Love Mycra Pac! Very chic. They're so dramatic, all swirly in the wind.

I got a knock-off on eBay and love it. It's basically an enormous hooded cloak (but with sleeves), reversing to a velvet embossed pattern. It makes a great evening coat for dressy occasions.

If you really want to go cheap, there is a line of men's and women's packable raincoats called "ShaynaCoat," that's very popular in the Orthodox Jewish world. They aren't nearly as stylish as Mycra Pac but they give very full coverage, fit over other coats, and are packable. $30 on Amazon and eligible for the free returns policy for clothing.

Check eBay for "reversible raincoat." They have a lot of Mycra Pac, you might be able to snag a bargain.
