raincoat

Waterproof outer layer

A raincoat is a water-resistant outer garment worn to stay dry in wet weather.

Most raincoats are lightweight and designed to be worn over other clothing: Grab your raincoat—it's supposed to pour this afternoon.

The word sometimes appears as a euphemism for condom.
