I am after a cagoule (rain mac) that zips up (full zip not one that goes over your head) and can be folded away into it's own pocket (not a separate bag as this just get's lost at school!). Size 10 years (11 would do). In a colour that is not black as it's for my daughter - girlie colour preferred but even blue ok.

I have (obviously) looked before posting this so please don't post ones that are black, only half zip or pack into a separate bag as I have found these myself!!

Thank you to anyone who has found one. I can't be the only Mum who needs a cagoule for school and taking out and about surely!

    I got my D.D from Asda and they had pink or purple for a couple of pounds.
    Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.

    I don't think you'll get one, coz I'm sure the ones that fold into themselves are the half zip ones with the pocket over the tummy.

    How about getting one with a separate bag, & then sew a wee bit of the jacket seam (near the underarm maybe?) to the top of the bag on the inside just under the drawstring? Bag wouldn't get lost - coz it's sewn in - but could still stuff the cagoule into it? (Not tried that - just thought of it, so apologies if it doesn't work!)

    They are out there with full zip. We have one now but in smaller size. It folds into one of the side pockets. Can only find bigger size in black. Will try a trip to Asda tho so thanks to person who suggested that - I think it's going to need a shop solution as can't find an online one!

    I bought my daughters one from Sainsburys last year, it folds into a big pocket on the back of the jacket.
    Hers is lilac with dark purple spots on it! I think they are pink this year with darker pink spots, they also have Hello Kitty ones in my local store but not sure of the sizes.
    I cant remember how much i paid for it but Sainsuburys have 25% off clothing at the moment which i think ends tomorrow.

    I recall seeing them in Asda briefly but they were quite plain in comparrison.
    The Sainsbury ones are (imo) girly without being babyish.
