I'm a huge fan of Hatley. I discovered this brand buying my kids raincoats last year. They were AWESOME. In fact, my kids are still wearing those rain coats a year and a half later and they look brand new. And they have the cutest designs ever. So this year I bought my daughter a couple of pairs of rain boots and another matching raincoat for the fall. She doesn't even really need it, but we like to splash in muddy puddles and stomp around in rain year round- so we like boots. And these were so cute I couldn't stand it. Quality of construction is very high on Hatley products- and I am very, very picky. The boots are sturdy and well made and the coats are impeccable- high quality fabrics, good fit, zippers that don't stick and a nice warm liner for those chilly fall, early spring, or not quite too cold and snowy winter days. A bit too warm for a summer rain storm, so for that I just got them a lightweight rain shell. I really like these boots, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them- but if you are in the market for a raincoat that's where this company really shines. I will honestly never buy another brand of raincoat- my kids are each getting one every year. They are that good.
