Best rain jacket so far!

Strictly as a rain jacket, this one has been the best for me. I work for the Park Service and wore this doing field work in the torrential rain. I was the only one that was bone dry at the end of the day. I got it in this very light blue color, which tends to get dirty real easily, but that's negligible. The only tiny detail that was a con for me, personally, was that the jacket wasn't as long as I would ideally like, the pockets are kind of small, and since its pro-shell gore-tex the jacket can be a little loud (I was told to take the jacket off during my road test because it was distracting!) Other than that it does its job, I would especially hope so for its price!
