I have a Rains raincoat (not that it ever rains here anymore.... sob...). I like it a lot. Mine's the longer length, unisex XS, and it also comes in hip length. I would get sweaty if I did anything active in it, since it's coated fabric, not breathable. Very waterproof though, and I like the Scandi minimalism. But also, expensive. I debated it for years, since we get so little rain here and I hadn't ever bothered owning a waterproof 'city' jacket...

All that said, I think you might be happier with the Everlane one or a city style from North Face etc.

Update: placed an embarrassingly large Everlane order, including the ReNew Anorak in Seaglass. It's beautiful! The colour has some grey to it and can definitely work as a light neutral. It looks great with olive green (which is, like, half of my pants these days), and I think it will be perfect with rust/toffee/brown shades too, and blue or black denim. The cut is perfect over anything with volume: full skirts/dresses, culottes/cropped wide legs, chunky knits. I can see using it over blazers in the fall. Fabric is really nice, not crinkly, has a cottony finish. Definite keeper!

Oh, I’m glad you got that one. I really like that color.

Wow. I was in love with that cut but we have no Everlane presence in Europe, sadly.

Then again I own this parka below so icy blue is represented in my outerwear ;). And yes, its's pretty versatile!

That is a beautiful anorak, LaPed! I love the length on it.

If the ever lane one does not work, you can consider aritzia

Wow, that is lovely and a great colour, especially for Spring.
