Ha, I feel like this is an ironic question because I'm living in an area where we are facing a drought right now! But I recently went back to work in-person after working from home for awhile and would like to get a decent raincoat to wear so I don't end up completely disheveled on rainy days. Has anyone found one they really like?

No
Any raincoat I have that actually keeps me dry makes me sweat at any temp above 40deg F
So the choice is either get wet with rain or get soaked in sweat

I’m totally casual so it’s not like the London Fog of the 80’s. I have a NorthFace one with a hood that I love.

I have an Eddie Bauer rain jacket that is still going strong and looking good since 1995.
It has a vent on the back and eyelets under the arms to keep me from overheating.

I live in SoCal. I do have a raincoat. It is one of those London Fog lightweight types. It is loose enough that if it is cold, I can bundle up under it. I usually wear it just to get from the parking garage to my office. But it has been a couple of years since I’ve worn it. Just doesn’t rain hard or long enough out here.

I also have an older Eddie Bauer raincoat. I use it frequently here in the PNW.

I love REI for rain jackets. They are waterproof, breath and last forever.

I wear one from Columbia Sportswear. It's my go-to three-season jacket.

Yes, it's a Ariat and amazing! My daughter wanted one but they no longer make it. I found a "like new" one for her on eBay, and she is SO happy. I don't think it was ever worn. I got it for a steal. I don't know if they have any other raincoats now but I would not hesitate to buy another Ariat!

I have a red double breasted London Fog trench coat that I absolutely love. I only wear it a few times a year, so it will last me forever. For more casual occasions I have both Land's End and a Columbia rain jacket. Most Minnesotans have a ton of coats...hence the 3 different types/weights of rainwear.

I love my Stierna Stella raincoat. It is meant for horseriding, but works perfectly when walking my dog as well.

I have 3 petite raincoats. I used to wear them when I worked professional jobs. It's hard to find petite raincoats that fit well. I have a yellow one that's lightweight, a pink one that's also lightweight and cute and a beige one that's heavier. None of them have hoods, which sucks. I also have a very lightweight short jacket (hooded) and it matches one set of yoga pants I have (black and pink).
With our type of very heavy, sideways rain (almost daily for up to 7 months), you need to come equipped with a rain jacket and/or a good umbrella.

I have several and like them for various reasons. I have 3? 4? That are mostly for looks. (It rains a lot in Belgium!) They keep the rain off for the most part and are a little bit for warmth. And they’re cute. I don’t think that any of them have hoods, so I wear this bucket hat lechapote.com/collections/chapeaux-de-pluie-femme/products/chapeau-de-pluie-bleu or I carry an umbrella. When we sight see, I don’t usually carry an umbrella so then I wear my Marmot or Columbia jackets. I like a longer length and when the underarms unzip.

I have a basic REI and like it. I bought mine a bit big so I can wear it over a sweater on a chilly day. www.rei.com/product/127274/rei-co-op-rainier-rain-jacket-womensIf you’re looking to save some money and don’t mind buying used, I’ve seen some great deals on ThredUp. You may have to search by brand and jacket …. Seems to be hit or miss with having them marked as “rain”

Not much rain here, although the last few days it has been pouring.. I can't stop looking at it.. I love it so much... but I am just a dash through person. Or an umbrella. In my airline days, I was issued a London Fog trench coat (liner, hood, the whole works).. I sure do wish it fit me now... that was a GOOD GOOD jacket. A classic as well.

Eddie Bauer rain coat fan here. I have many Eddie Bauer coats. My favorite rain coat is the "Girl on the Go Trench coat". It's waterproof, breathable, and doesn't get too hot/sweaty. I bought mine several years ago. I think they come on sale once in a while.

If you get an Eddie Bauer, make sure you love the color. It will last forever.
I have one I'd like to replace, but have no reason other than I'm tired of dusty blue.

I have an Eddie Bauer warm weather one and a Columbia milder weather one too. We get a decent amount of rain and I hate to be cold and wet. I’ve also bought my dd a Kirkland one from Costco that she likes. This is similar to the one I have from Columbia www.columbia.com/p/womens-splash-side-jacket-1931651.html
