There are different types of raincoats that can be distinguished through their features and design, including:
Rain coat
A rain coat is a more casual weatherproof coat made of a lightweight waterproof fabric, includes a hood and finishes between hip and knee length.
Poncho
Made of watertight fabrics, ponchos are an outer garment that protect the body from rain. It has no front opening and slips over the head and arms to be worn. Not immediately thought of as the most glamorous raincoat, there have been contemporary iterations of the poncho that have seen it make a case as a chic offering for use outside of a music festival or football game.
