Not sure if this is the place for this...I’m asking on behalf of my dad, who is planning to walk the Camino to Santiago de Compostela in Spain from St Jean Pied de Port in France.  He is looking for a “three-quarter length” lightweight waterproof jacket in a breathable fabric.  None of the jackets he's seen come below mid-thigh and he was hoping to find something which would cover more of his leg. 
Many thanks, Rachel

Can't say I've ever seen what you are looking for. Wouldn't breathable waterproof trousers be more suitable - you can wear them with shorts underneath?

i've passed your suggestions on, thank you.
i think waterproof trousers could be too hot but i've never tried breathable ones.
he's thinking a poncho might be a better idea as it would be well ventilated, but he's got plenty of time to decide.

thank you for your help, any more suggestions anyone?

He could try Paclite gortex over trousers they cost about £100:00 but are very breathable  as for the longer jackets don't think they make them any more they used to be around in the late 70's and early 80's tell him good luck with the walk
