As Longfellow might have said: Into each life spent commuting, running errands, or watching a kid’s soccer game, some rain must fall. We spent two and a half months researching 134 raincoats and testing 30—with a panel of six testers in a range of shapes and sizes—to find seven of the best rain jackets in a wide variety of sizes, styles, colors, and lengths to keep you dry and comfortable.

Columbia Women’s Arcadia II Rain Jacket, sporty and practical

Columbia Women’s Arcadia II Rain Jacket

Sporty and practical
Our least expensive women’s raincoat pick was just as good in the rain as pricier coats we tried. But its no-frills construction misses out on features we like, such as taped seams and placketed zippers.
Budget friendly
Columbia Men’s Watertight II Jacket, sporty and affordable

Columbia Men’s Watertight II Jacket

Sporty and affordable
This affordable hip-length jacket repels water as effectively as coats that cost three times as much, and it comes in a wide range of sizes and colors.

The Torrentshell 3L is designed with outdoor adventure in mind. The deep hood and extra-long sleeves keep rain off your face and out of your hair, and the generous cut makes it ideal for layering over other clothing.

Hunter Men’s Original Waterproof Cotton Hunting Coat

Modern and British
This treated cotton coat repels water just as well as any jacket we tested, but the soft fabric and sharp details place it a step above the average crinkly rain shell.
