I did go with microfiber. I got my coat at LL Bean, and it has been really one of the best purchases of my life, but it was not inexpensive. The coat has a zip-in lining, and a detachable drawstring hood. The lining must be dry-cleaned, but the coat itself can go into the washing machine, and then hung up to air-dry. It washes and dries beautifully. Where I live, I wear this coat in spring and autumn, but it's a little too cool in winter for me to wear it throughout the entire season.

Book Chick,<BR>Whereabouts do you live? In the northwest it doesn't get that cold, so microfiber is often sufficient. Also we wear fleece and wool a lot. We get plenty wet, too. Only when we venture to higher elevations, do we need to pull out the toasty clothes. Not to ramble, here, but today I saw Mt. Rainier looming above the hills. It is an awesome sight.<BR>G'night!

Michigan. We have snow on the ground, usually starting around Thanksgiving (we have it now) & it does not disappear until March or April. The lining of the microfiber coat I bought is simply a bit too "cold" or "light" or "inadequate", in the sleeves especially, to get me through an entire winter here.<BR><BR>BC

I HATE having my feet "trapped" in boots. I live in Southern California where it is over 80 degrees at this moment, and any form of sandels, is heaven.<BR><BR>However, I bought a pair of AEROSOLES, ankle high just because they were really on sale thinking I would not need them EVER. Within the next month, I took the train from California to Santa Fe, NM and wore them 8 days in a row, and did lots, and lots, and lots of walking!!! I even wore them with long wool, denim, and cordoroy dresses with matching tights and felt pretty terrific. Who knows, maybe I even slept in them!<BR>Anyway, my vote is for AEROSOLES.<BR><BR>A can of waterproofing spray, applied several times. letting them dry inbetween, will keep those tootsies dry.<BR><BR>Ciao

try Born Brand shoes, boots and clogs. Bought a pair on my honeymoon so we could hike the gorge in upstate NY (forget name of town) and they were super. Go to www.born-brand.net or try jjill.com, they carry the brand as well. Good luck/LGoussard
