I love this rain coat! An updated approach to the old "slicker". It is light weight and not overly hot, like the old version. Plenty of waterproofing with velcro at the wrists for a snug, custom fit, flaps over zippered pockets and front zipper. The hood is a great size; plenty of coverage against wind and rain without weighing down your hair! Everytime I wear this coat I get a compliment about how nice it looks! My daughter liked it so much I bought one for her as well.
The coat is just the length, color (yellow) and water protection I wanted. I've had several comments on it. I do find it a little warm on a summer day (not so breathable) and the zipper is often difficult to get started. Overall I'm happy with the coat. A little expensive. It has room for a jacket underneath.
I wished I had sent this product back. The quality of the item was very poor. Wearing the item is no better than wearing a cheap poncho. My husband told me I would be better off wearing a trash bag. I was very disappointed with the purchase, but I had already trashed the paperwork that came with my purchase.

ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
Have the Gortex raincoat, but I like this one much better. Not so noisy Pluse this is a 3/4 length and is very comfortable.
