Not suitable for actual rain, not remotely "waterproof"
This is a cute, lightweight jacket that works fine in light rain. It utterly fails, however, when the rain is more than a light drizzle. After walking my dog for about 20 minutes in steady, but by no means torrential rain, I was soaked through to the skin. For reference, I was wearing three layers- a t-shirt, a cardigan sweater, and this "rain" jacket. I had to take off all three when I came home, and the jacket had to go straight to the dryer. I was wearing it with the hood up, zipped and snapped to the chin. The added pic is how I looked directly after removing the jacket. I considered rating at 3 stars because if you do not live in a particularly rainy area, this may suit your needs. That doesn't negate the fact, however, that the product description misidentifies this as suitable for rain.
