We just went through some crazy Illinois weather, with rain-snow-rain, repeat. I have two dogs who beg to be walked twice daily and both my husband and I have utilized this rain coat. I love the fact that it's long on me and covers me from my head to below my knees and almost to my boot tops. The head covering stays in place as do the wrist snaps. After reading other reviews that mention the pockets tearing, I am very careful when I use the pockets, but I do use them to carry the poop bags and they have held up well. It does cover my husband well, too, but it's much shorter on him and his legs do get wet. I also love the bright yellow color--very retro!
