this raincoat is one of the few i have seen which is long enough for those very windy,rainy days.  i would have prefered a different closure than the buttons.  they can be tedious when one is in a hurry. this raincoat is so light weight it can be worn in warm weather (and is not hot plastic) and layered in cold temps. it also has a hood, which is also a challenge to find on raincoats, these days.
