I got this rain coat so I could take it to my 12-day Europe trip.  I was rainy season in Europe so this jacket was a life-saver.  I carried it with me in my backpack, and took it out several times a day when it started raining as I was sight seeing.  It is everything it said it was; it surpasses all my expectations also.  It is water proof, it is lined, it is long enough, it comes with a zipper and a waist tie, it has a great hood with a draw string in it, and it served it purpose of keeping me warm.  The other things I love about it, is that it is light, it is stylish, it doesn't make me overly warm, and it keeps me dry above all else.  I didn't even carry an umbrella; I just used this coat whenever I needed it.  It would dry fast and when it stopped raining, I 'd put it back in my backpack.  I always wanted a nice rain coat, but this is my first one and I'm 46!  It you want the best rain coat at a great price, I recommend this one hands down.  It is made of great materials, it cost-effective, does the job, and is made to last!
