Rain Jacket – Knee-Length Cut With a Drawcord Hood and Zip Pockets

Rain Jacket – Long Enough to Keep Your Legs Out of the Weather

This jacket runs past the knee instead of stopping at the hip, which is where most rain shells give up. A storm flap with snaps sits over the main zip. The hood pulls in with a cord so it stays put when the wind picks up.

Why choose a knee-length rain jacket?

Short rain jackets protect your torso and leave everything below it soaked. Extra length changes that, especially when you are seated on a bike or a scooter. The rest is detail work: a covered zip, a hood that holds, pockets that close.

• Knee-length cut — the hem reaches past the thigh instead of stopping at the waist.
• Drawcord hood — cinches down so it stays on your head in a crosswind.
• Waterproof outer shell — rain beads and runs off rather than soaking in.
• Snap-over storm flap — covers the zip, the usual weak point on a rain jacket.
• Zip pockets — whatever you put in them stays as dry as you do.

You get off the bike and walk in without changing anything.

Zip the front, then press the snaps closed over the top of the zip. Pull both hood cords until the brim sits just above your eyes. After a wet ride, hang it open somewhere with airflow instead of folding it away.
