Review on Levi's Women's Lightweight Rubberized Fishtail: Find Stylish Coats, Jackets & Vests by Rhonda Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Real raincoat for real rainy weather

I would highly recommend this raincoat if you live in an area where it rains properly. I live on the Virginia coast and it doesn't just rain here - we have hurricanes, Northeast, real gales and floods... Only summer campers and newbies come here without a legal raincoat. So I have 7 quality raincoats with a preference for buying the Columbia brand for their durability and weather resistance. I had never heard of a Levi's raincoat and was intrigued. This raincoat can be aptly described as "rubberized". The fabric is thick, durable, windproof and 100% waterproof. The sleeves reach to the wrist but are not so long that they have to be rolled up. The hood fully covers the head and has a drawstring with stoppers. The back of the coat is amazing, it actually covers your back, I never understood raincoats that only keep you dry to the waist. The coat closes with both a zip and a snap button, you might think it's overkill, but you've probably never tried running in a 40mph wind with the rain lashing around. The size is big. I'm 145#, 5ft 5ft and wear between medium and large. I have the large one, but the medium one would probably look more polished (although I'd rather look dry than polished). This style can be worn in daily life or work environment, the long length is good for covering up a skirt. While the big one on me sits very straight, there are darts on the chest that create a feminine shape. The stitching and finishes are of high quality. Some Notes: The coat is not breathable, it will keep you warm. I have raincoats with a visor on the hood, which I prefer to a regular hood, this one doesn't have that feature. The wrists are not elastic so water can run down but that hasn't happened to me. I have black and it doesn't have reflective dots or branding, it might not be the safest color to wear at night. None of this affects my rating, just for information so you can make an informed purchasing decision.
