rainslickers
Waterproof outer garments
Rainslickers are waterproof coats designed to shed rain, typically made of rubber, vinyl, or coated fabric.
The term is most common in American English and evokes the bright yellow slickers worn by fishermen and children: The kids grabbed their rainslickers and ran outside to splash in puddles.
