|The Carhartt PVC Rain Coat is a rubber slicker. Period. All 4 1/2 pounds of it. But that's a good thing if you want to stay dry. I've tried Gore-Tex and all the new variations of breathable, water-resistant fabrics, and none of them keep you dry like a rubber slicker. I bought this for a trip to Alaska and it did the job.

The only issue is the full-size cut of the coat. I'm a big guy and I ordered a tall-medium which turned out to be enormous.

Highly recommend if you want to stay dry and have room for a friend.
