rain slicker

Wet weather jacket

A rain slicker is a waterproof coat or jacket, typically made of rubberized or plastic-coated fabric, designed to keep the wearer dry in wet weather.

The term is most common in American English: She grabbed her yellow rain slicker before heading out into the storm.

Slicker alone can mean the same thing.
