Worth the money
I really love this rain jacket! I ordered it and it arrived just in time for me to try it out in a heavy rainstorm that gave us more than 8 inches of rain over two days of steady rain. I live on acreage so I spend a lot of time outdoors. The jacket kept me dry and didn't get soaked through like other jackets have that caused me to have to leave them hanging up because they were too wet to wear. Another jacket that I had tore if I breathed wrong. Well, actually, I brushed up against a door frame that had a small tab of metal sticking out that wasn't even sharp but it was enough to tear the fabric of that jacket, but fortunately, the fabric in this jacket is much more durable.I am pleased with the fit of the size that I ordered. I ordered an extra large because I wanted to have plenty of room if I needed to layer up for those cold days, and it fits about right for an extra large. I should mention that I am a woman but I ordered it in men's size for the extra room. I really like the way the sleeves have extra fabric with elastic at the wrist so that you can have your arms extended while doing things like mending fence or cutting fallen trees and the rain doesn't just pour down your arm inside your sleeve. It doesn't keep it all out, but it works well enough.The price is right too. I would expect a jacket like this to be more than $100 so you're getting a good deal that sadly, is kind of rare these days with most things costing three times more than they did just a few years ago.I can't think of anything that I hate about this jacket, nor is there anything that's mildly annoying except that the snaps don't stay snapped if you are moving around a lot, but I would expect that anyway from snaps. The good news is that the jacket has a zipper too, and, as long as I'm not too lazy to make the effort to zip it up first before I head out into the storm, it works great for keeping me dry all the way down past my boot tops.One thing that I would like to add is that the jacket comes with a hood that's built into the jacket itself. That seems like a really good idea but I haven't tried it out because I really hate things around my head, so I can't say whether the hood works or not. I would think that, even if the hood itself sucks, the jacket is still worth 5 stars because you can always use an umbrella or hat and the jacket will still do its job.

Major waterproof raincoat
Wore it in one heavy rain with big wind and so far so good. I'll update if it doesn't stay waterproof after more rain exposure. The great stuff? Comes in a large turquoise pouch trimmed with orange that has velcro closure and there's a wrist strap to carry the pouch. Nice. The coat is heavy thick fabric, mesh lining, between my knees and ankles, nicely finished and sewn, gorgeous color but not the lighter turquoise in the photo, it's a darker and richer color. Has a yellow zipper which contrasts nicely with the turquoise coat color and also has snaps. There are reflective strips across the back and on the front chest pockets. The sleeves have an elasticized wrist part attached at the end of the sleeve, underneath the whole sleeve. The sleeve pulls down over the elasticized piece. The elastic around the wrists is thick but not tight. So, double coverage at the wrists and no water will get in. The not quite great? The hood is weird. Very close fitting, almost too small, with velcro to snap under the chin and a bill like on a sports cap. The hood folds away in the neck portion of the coat. I'd rather have a detachable hood or larger differently shaped hood. The snaps fasten as on a man's garment, but no big deal. The lower pockets are just made of the mesh lining so they won't hold very much. The zipper isn't heavy duty, looks light weight, don't think it'll last, but with snaps to close I'll deal with that. And now about the fit. I usually take a 6, rarely an 8, in USA women's garments. I ordered a medium in army green camo (this color wasn't available at the time) and medium was HUGE. Then I ordered this color when it became available in extra small. I couldn't even zip the extra small coat or snap it closed. The wrists were too small. I finally ordered a small. The small fits just barely but I'm keeping it. Don't know if sizing is off or different for different colors. Check the size chart and keep sizing and the smallish weird hood in mind. Two different people told me I look like a London "bobby" (metropolitan police officer) in this coat. Check out a pic of that, see if that works for you, think it's because of the hood and shoulder epaulets. In spite of the "not great" stuff this is an excellent value for a major raincoat with sturdy waterproof fabric and everything I wanted and needed. I tried a number of other "raincoats." They were all actually just ponchos with thin flimsy fabric, flimsy zippers and snaps, I looked like I was wearing a big baggy trash bag, and they were the same price as this raincoat. This one is twice the value of the others for the same price. Recommend it.
