For complete coverage, try Esja's Womens Rain Coat by Icelandic 66North, a brand like many others originally known for developing protective clothing for commercial fisherman.

The raincoat has a nice slim fit (hard to find) and is made from PVC, offering full length protection. The coat comes in three classic rain wear colors; orange, green and black and even has a matching Souwester (not orange).

This streamlined heavy rain slicker incorporates function and urban styling into one practical coat. With its retro fit and PVC fabric, not only is it completely waterproof, it's ideal for a quick trip to the city.

Subtle detailing like metal grommets, adjustable drawstring hood, and hole venting pockets provides a handcrafted touch, while paying homage to 66North's fisherman roots.

UPDATE: One of our readers have brought this raincoat and was very disapointed "The material is really cheap, crinkly PVC of a type that you'd expect from a $ 10,- Chinese raincoat but not from a 118,- € one! The front closure has no wind flap and overlaps a mere 2,5 cm so even from a practical point of view this garment is not worth the money." What a disappointment! One would think that a company such as 66North could design a proper raincoat, based upon their history!
