BGSD Women's Alexa Waterproof Classic Hooded Trench Coat | Windproof Raincoat for Outdoor Activities, Commuting & Travel

I walk between two elementary schools 4 times a day while pulling a cart of supplies so I needed a raincoat that would keep me dry even if I can't carry an umbrella. I am 5'3'' and the coat stops just above my knees. I ordered the large based on the size suggestions because I am in between medium and large. It is a little bit large compared to my ideal raincoat but that's to be expected for things that come in S, M and Large. The hood stays up even when I'm walking against the wind and it comes out past my face a bit so that my hair and face don't get wet. I read a few comments about the buttons being of poor quality and I would disagree. The buttons themselves are fine and they even have a smaller button sewn on the inside of each button which helps support the fabric. After a few weeks of wear, the buttons have loosened up so that it's easy to button and unbutton and it's possible that thread will stretch farther and break. Even if it does, this coat is still more than worth the money. Just get a needle and thread and sew them back on. Buttons are hard to do well with machine sewing and you won't get a coat with hand-sewn buttons for this cost. The fabric is much thicker than I expected and is very good quality. The seams are well done on the coat and the lining. It was 18 degrees out this morning and I was not cold wearing this and a long sleeve shirt. Again, very surprising from an inexpensive coat! My only complaint is that the straps around the wrists and the belt at the waist are very, very long. If I don't tie the belt, it bangs into the back of my calves. I will just cut them shorter and resew them but they could be much shorter in the original design. Overall this is a very good quality coat especially given the price. I'm very satisfied and would recommend it to others.
