Re: [RC] Rain coat - Flora Hillman

I purchased a lightweight US Air Force rain coat from the Army/Navy outlet.
The coat goes down almost to my ankles, has air holes for each arm pit and a
open weave mesh on the back under a short shoulder cape, and is double
layered with a fabric exterior and a rubberized interior. Breathable, yet
waterproof. 

I tested it out this morning in the rain  -- wanted to see how well the
leg-loops worked that I had put on to hold the coat against my leg to
prevent flapping, and also to see how well it would shed water.

The answer was excellent on both counts.  It was very comfortable for
riding, kept my saddle and legs well covered, and kept me warm and dry.

Title: Rain coats

Ok, does anyone know where I can get a good rain COAT?  I've been searching
for a while and all I can find are rain JACKETs.  I need something that
comes down past my butt, >because with the jackets, all the water runs
straight off the jacket to my butt and it's not a comfy feeling.  K
