Why we love this deal

As much as we appreciate the April showers that bring those May flowers, it still somehow manages to surprise us each year when most of the spring is saturated with rain. After a cold winter, it feels like quite an unfortunate follow-up having to deal with overcast skies and freezing rain, but deal with it we must. And one of the best ways to be prepared for it is by having a heavy-duty rain jacket on standby to throw on whenever the sky opens up. Nothing is worse than when your outfit or your hair gets ruined by a quick rain storm, and a waterproof jacket helps keep you nice and dry as you power through April for what we hope to be a super sunny, warm May. 

Instead of paying a fortune for some designer apparel, you can get the Amazon Essentials Rain Jacket for 42% off. Originally $45, the jacket, which comes in four colors, is available for as low as $26 in Black, and just $38 in Dark green and Eggshell White for the time being.

Made of 88% nylon and 12% elastane, this jacket is all about flexibility. The stretchy blends that it is made from help you move with ease no matter what you’re doing while still providing structure and a sleek silhouette when it hangs off your frame. Nylon is extremely sturdy, known for being abrasion-resistant, and the two together are fairly breathable and quick-drying to prevent overheating and keep you cool and dry. This jacket specifically has a matte-finish waterproof coating on the outside, as well as waterproof sealed seams, to provide protection against moisture and keep you from getting saturated as soon as you step outside. 

As a long length jacket the rain coat falls about mid-thigh on the average-sized person. It has long sleeves that provide a comfortable, relaxed fit. The interior is lined to provide more warmth, and the exterior has both a zip front closure and snap front closure for extra protection when the weather is bad. There is an adjustable hood with a drawstring that provides more coverage in super damp conditions, as well as an adjustable drawstring waist that you can tighten or loosen for a comfortable, customizable fit to your body. The two front pockets which have zipper closures keep hands warm or small items like keys and phones safe, secure, and dry.

Shoppers love that this jacket offers ample protection from the elements without being heavy. The lightweight raincoat is “perfect for stormy weather” and very comfortable. The drawstring waist allows you to change the fit of the jacket on your body for a cinched fit or more relaxed, oversized look. It doesn’t feel stiff, according to shoppers, like some rain jackets, but effectively keeps you super dry even under pouring rain.
