waterproof coat

Impermeable outer garment

A waterproof coat is an outer garment designed to keep the wearer dry in rain or wet conditions.

The term covers everything from lightweight rain jackets to heavy-duty slickers.

Unlike water-resistant coats, which merely slow water penetration, waterproof coats block moisture entirely: Grab your waterproof coat—it's supposed to pour this afternoon.
