I was very apprehensive about this rain coat because of all the bad reviews, but then it hit me... all raincoats are kinda thin aren't they? I mean the regular ones, are a one time use only, so I decided "what the heck" and purchase it. Now that I have it, I can see that is not as flimsy as some of the reviews say. I'm very happy with it since there was no other way for me to adquire such a long and sturdy (at least for me) raincoat that goes to my mid calf (I'm 5.4). The bottoms are snaps but they don't look like they will be un-snapping soon.
And the hood is detachable, look at that. Plus it has a little cord to adjust it to your needs. So bottom line, I'm glad I got it.
