Portwest S438 Men's Lightweight Waterproof Raincoat

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.

GREAT coat for the price. Durable, lightweight, keeps water out, and the elastic-banded inner sleeves even help to keep some heat in!THE coat to buy if you want that classic, utilitarian "Last Summer" look. 😉🪝

Plus sized gal here who knows how difficult it is to find a raincoat in women's departments! I ended up buying this men's rain coat & so glad I did!!! Of course the sleeves are ridulously long. I expected that. I just fold them over a few times. Again, because it's men's, I knew it would be long on me. That was a bonus! It comes down to mid shin which I appreciate as it keeps most of me dry. The hood is big, but it has a draw string so it's not flopping everywhere. I normally wear a 3X in women's & my height is 5' 4". I bought the 4X due to reviews. It is big on me but not THAT big. I wanted extra room for a sweater or my lightweight fleece jacket, as well as extra room to sit. We all want to quickly jump in our cars on rainy days and the quick movements put stress on clothing seams. The extra room deals with that issue so I haven't experienced tearing or ripping. I normally wear my regular jacket & use an umbrella, but lately we've been experiencing downpours! I use this raincoat for those heavy, saturating rainy days! One of my best purchases!

I bought my dad one of these several years ago for Christmas. He volunteers in rain, sleet, snow so I bought this is a larger size to cover his winter coat. I bought two more for other family recently. Hold up well.

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

Excellent product delivered quickly

Quality Raincoat. Will get the job done on those wet and windy days.
