A very nice rain coat. Now unless it's a downpour, I still walk places instead of driving if it's raining. And I stay bone dry.

How do you keep the pants dry

That's why I don't go out in a downpour. The coat goes about mid-thigh so my calves get a bit wet. But since my legs are mostly verticle and I'm fat, they don't get very wet at all.

What raincoat did you get?

Patagonia torrentshell. But I'd wager any similar product from a good brand works just as well.

$180 isn’t too bad. How warm would you say it is?

It's warm to around 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Really good at blocking wind but it's thin so it doesn't conserve body heat below a pretty cool temperature. It's definitely meant to be worn with base layers if getting close to freezing
