I took this raincoat with me to Ireland. It was so lightweight, easy to pack, taking up vitually no room at all in my suitcase. Also, when I did need to wear it, the extended hood kept my hair and face from getting wet. I am really happy with this purchase.
I absolutely love this coat. I live in Florida and you never know when it's going to rain. I have a shorter coat that I also bought from LLBean. It is very light weight and definately keeps you dry!!
This is a great raincoat. I had a small problem with the zipper, but am returning it for the same coat. It is totally breathable in wet weather and long enough to keep jeans dry too!
