it works. period. but it is like wearing a plastic bag...no breathing at all. You get very sweaty when it is closed up.....it is only good for heavy rain protection, but nothing else. Better to spend a few more dollars and get a material that is both waterproof and breathes.

I bought this for my husband and he absolutly loves it.... alot of compliments from his coworkers, if you want to stary dry this is the perfect jacket and very lightweight.

This rainsuit is ideal to keep you dry even in the worst downpur plus keep you warmn in the middle of any chilly windstorm. It will make you hot because of its lack of breathability so dont consider it for trekking plus its not easily packable.

The good thing about this parka? It is waterproof. Don't buy this parka if you plan to active. It does not breathe and it retains moisture. Sizing is not true to size. Buy one size smaller if you are still considering a purchase.

My husband loves this raincoat. He works outside all day and he said it is comfortable and keeps him very dry. I am going to buy one for me.

Loved the product. Put it on in the heaviest of rains and didn't the my clothes.

This is an amazing product! This was found on sale, but is DEFINITELY worth the full price. Shipped quick and easy!

This rain jacket is not breathable. They say it is because they have two small holes under something on the front of the jacket. Right where my backpack shoulder straps go. I think you would stay drier without the jacket in the rain. I put it on and I was drenched inside. This is a jacket you throw on if your running to the store. Absolutely not for any serious outdoor activity like hiking.

Bought these raincoats for my 3 teenage sons. The sizing is really ample. (The large is really large.) They have been out in downpours and the parkers really are waterproof. They aren't full length, but that is clear in the description. My only concern is that they don't wrip too easily as they are not heavy (which makes them great for the spring/summer showers). So far, we have no problems with wripping.

These are cut a little big, and that's pretty typical for a rain jacket. It feels rubberized to the touch, and does keep you very dry. There are air vents under the armpits small enough that they should't let water in-- great feature. There are also two huge pockets on the front to keep items you need to keep dry.

The only thing I don't like about this jacket is that it makes a lot of plastic noise. If you're out in the rain, this doesn't matter, but any time it's not raining you're going to be "loud".

If I am going to be wearing a jacket for rain purposes I would personally prefer the Columbia Omni-tech or Titanium Tech jacket. Far more stylish, quieter, and better ventilation, at more cost.
