Raincoat Recommendations?

<p>Anyone have any good recommendations for raincoats? I want something that is water proof and would keep me warm in cold rain. Thanks for any ideas</p>

<p>Get a shell at EMS. They have a longer one that is sort of mid calf length. It can be worn over a fleece jacket as well. DD took one to rainy equatorial Africa, and stayed nice and dry. Oh…it has a hood.</p>

<p>Agree with thumper. A shell and some fleece and/or wool layers would be more versatile than just a heavy coat. REI has all sorts of options. NorhFace, Marmot, Patagonia, REI’s own brand - they all are great. Look for “waterproof” not just “water resistant”.</p>
