Bought this in anticipation of a summer trip to Scotland, and unfortunately it was a wise purchase. Spent an entire day walking around Edinburgh in torrential rain, topped off by sitting for two hours at the Military Tattoo - still in pouring rain. A rain hat gives much better all round visibility than a coat hood, and doesn't interfere with your hearing to the same degree. I stayed perfectly dry and warm after hours and hours of rain - just remember shake like a dog when you get under cover :-)

Recommended without reservation.
