There are few things more annoying than walking through a downpour with your hair dry thanks to your coathood, but your face getting soaked and battered. I propose that raincoats with hoods include something to cover your face - a clear plastic panel, attached by snaps at the sides and open at the bottom
for air. When not it use, it tucks into the hood; when in use, it deflects anything that approaches your face.
Or you could wear one of these...

Wouldn't a fine screen be better? I think plastic would fog and get creases when not in use. I think the screen would stop most rain and could double as a mosquito net. |

Try wearing a baseball cap under the hood. It works really well, especially if your wear glasses. |

[UnaBubba], I generally wear a fedora; however there are times when it is insufficient, and others when it would be difficult to manuever when not in use. |

If you spell it sideways it's a horse bridle leash from a Colorado ski resort town... |

If the weather turns smowy, a motorcycle helmet with visor will offer warmth, dryness, protection from wind, clear vision, and ridicule from passers-by. |

But this idea has merit [+]. |

Lifejackets quite often have these. In a rough sea you can actually drown from the spray. |

Truly, if I had to choose between dying of cold and wearing one of those I would have to think really hard... I would eventually put it on. |

Can they come with wipers? |

- and the reason for wearing a rain veil
? to counter the evil rain of course.... |

Chemical suits work much better than rain jackets. |

This year's performance of Bolero just isn't coming together - the musicians just aren't listening to each other. So the conductor taps his stick angrily, and proclaims, "Come on people! Let's get it together! There's no I in Ravel!" |
