I'm outside for much of my workday, so I needed a rain jacket that was affordable but that would do the job.  This coat is nice and lightweight but I admit I was a bit disappointed when it arrived and the tag said something along the lines of "water repellant in light rain"...which leads me to believe if I'm out in a downpour for more than a minute, I'm going to end up wet anyway.  It also does not have any kind of lining or inside waterproof pockets, so my phone will likely need to be sealed in a plastic bag in my pocket.  But for the most part it fits well, it's cute, bright, and should serve me just fine.
