I think this rain parka will work okay, and it seems plenty well-made - but it's going to be a lot warmer out walking/jogging than I was expecting. I give it 5 stars and not 4 because, while I was hoping for lighter weight, that isn't the parka's fault. There's a lining, which I knew there would be, but it's thick flannel that almost seems to have some fill, so it's considerably heavier than my Colombia rain jacket with a thin no-fill liner, and the outer waterproof layer is substantial so I don't think it will breathe much. I anticipate getting pretty warm wearing this while out exercising in the Northwest rain. I want to keep it because I need something out there, but I guess I'll just wear a tank top under it. Also, folks said it was oversized, but I ordered the XL since I wanted it big enough to wear over my hoody sweatshirt (which I clearly don't need with this warm rain parka), and it fits over the sweatshirt but with no room to spare. Granted, I'm 5'6'' 200lbs with most of my weight in my belly, but still... An XL unisex is typically more than adequate to accommodate layers.
