Raincoat – The Front Closes Twice, So the Rain Has Nowhere to Get In

This raincoat runs past the knee and closes with a zipper plus a snap placket laid over it. The hood pulls in with a cord so it holds position when the wind picks up. It is cut for riding a bike, waiting on a platform, or walking the dog in weather nobody planned for.

Why choose a knee length raincoat?

Most rain gear fails at the seams of the design rather than the fabric. Water finds the gap along a zipper, and a short hem leaves everything below the waist exposed. This one answers both by covering more and by closing the front twice.

Below-the-knee coverage — the hem carries far enough down that your upper legs stay out of the rain.
Cord-cinched hood — pull the cord and the hood stops moving around in a crosswind.
Sealed outer face — water beads and runs off instead of soaking into the surface.
Double-closed front — a snap placket lies over the zipper so the closure line is not the weak spot.
Zippered hand pockets — what you put in them is still dry when you take it out.

You get off the bike, shake it out, and carry on with dry trousers.

Zip the front, press the snaps down over it, and draw the hood in to your face. After a wet ride, hang it open rather than folded so both faces can dry. A damp cloth is enough for mud along the hem.
