Portwest Classic Rain Coat Adult Waterproof Long Protection Hooded Work Wear Trench

Very nice raincoat, bought it for a trip to Quebec and received several comments about how nice it looked. Very sturdy, and quite rainproof. Really glad it had the full trench length. Like any raincoat it retains the heat so had to open it up a bit at times but very impressed overall. Will buy it again if/when this one gets too old.

Really good rain coat

I use this at work as a landscaper and the length of this coat keeps most me dry during rain showers. It's a nice compromise instead of wearing a full rain suit and I don't get to hot and sweaty at least in the cooler temps of the cloud forest I live in. The fit is pretty good and the quality seems good for the price. I wish it had a mesh lining but then the price would be twice as much probably. My last Port West jacket was pretty durable so I expect this to be as well.

This jacket is waterproof and reasonably well constructed. I also like that it is quite long and thereby keeps me completely dry if I'm wearing shorts. Obviously, if wearing long pants then the area from about knee height and below will get wet but this is a lot better than most rain jackets which will allow your bottom to get soaked. I bought this because I needed something to replace my very expensive Patagonia jacket that I'd had for several years that had begun to leak badly. Truth be told I've come to doubt whether those expensive rain jackets that rely on Goretex or equivalent technology are really any better than a simple PVC coated jacket - like this one. The Goretex types claim that they can 'breathe' and thereby keep the wearer of the jacket less humid and sticky but I've never found this to be something than I can personally verify. Therefore, why pay over a $ 100 for hi-tech rain jacket for a supposed technology advantage when you can't really feel the difference. My only complaint, if you will, with this jacket is that it doesn't have lining and so, if wearing a short sleeved shirt then you'll be feeling the PVC against your skin. But this is minor issue. One other thing . . . as other reviewers have mentioned the zipper has the 'pull' on the left hand side of the zipper and not on the right side like most American's men's clothing. But so what? It works the same. Finally, I'm 6'1" and quite trim (170 pounds). The large size fit me perfectly although it would be somewhat tight if I were putting it over thick winter clothing.

My husband loves his rain coat.

Keeps me dry in heavy rains. Think materials and good quality. Long enough to keep my legs dry .

The coat fits well. But at the bottom where the zipper starts it has already torn. Not well made.

So the fit is fine, I ordered a bit too big. My complaint is that I wear short sleeves for work as a dog walker, and the material inside of the jacket sticks to my skin and is kind of a sensory nightmare
