-a raincoat is a [(waterproof/water-resistant) coat] worn to protect the [body] from [rain]-
.
The term rain jacket is sometimes used to refer to raincoats that are waist length.
A rain jacket may be combined with a pair of rain pants to make a rain suit.
Modern raincoats are often constructed of breathable, waterproof fabrics such as Gore-Tex or Tyvek and coated nylons.
These fabrics allow some air to pass through, allowing the garment to ‘breathe’ so that sweat vapour can escape.
(the amount of pouring rain a raincoat can handle is sometimes measured in the unit millimeters, water gauge)
