There's a reason why the Carhartt Storm Defender jackets, formerly known as the Shoreline Jacket, is the most popular waterproof jacket we make. Not only will it keep you dry in heavy rain, it's also breathable, versatile, loaded with pockets, and has thumbhole cuffs that can be tucked into the sleeves.

Storm Defender®
Storm Defender® waterproof, breathable technology stops rain, but lets sweat escape through a breathable membrane ― so you can work through a storm.
Staying dry, focused, and safer is easier with rainwear featuring Storm Defender® waterproof breathable technology. It’s made to keep you completely protected from rain and amazingly comfortable inside. Work doesn’t stop when it rains; it just gets harder. Lugging rain soaked garments around adds to the misery, but Carhartt’s jobsite worthy raingear cuts the discomfort.
Great look and durable feel with totally enough functional pockets! It's maiden excursion was on the Oregon coast during a Wet & Wildly Windy week. It did really well in crazy 40 mile wild winds and moderately heavy rains. It didn't live up to expectations during downpours though. I love that the fabric is not crackly & loud, but that must be what lends it to nor being 100% waterproof, which is why I gave it a 4 star & not 5. It is generously cut in size, I believe that I could have easily worn a large and still layered with a down jacket underneath. I opted for XL to ensure that I would be able to layer adequately and still have maneuverability. With a down jacket underneath I was able to scramble up & cliff sides and over log jams with ease. I recommend it for most activities. For ref. I am 5'7" & 170#. Even with a down jacket underneath, it probably looked oversized to any fashion divas, but I always strive for comfort.
