What's the difference between a rain suit and a rain jacket?

A rain suit includes both jacket and pants, giving you full-body protection and better coverage around your waist and legs. A rain jacket alone leaves your lower half exposed, so you'd need separate waterproof pants if you want complete protection.

Does waterproof rating really matter, and what number should I look for?

Waterproof ratings (measured in mm) tell you how much water pressure the fabric can handle — 5,000mm is fine for light rain, while 10,000mm and above handles heavy downpours and outdoor work. Anything below 3,000mm won't protect you properly, so avoid lower ratings even if they're cheaper.

What should I check to make sure a rain suit will actually fit comfortably over my clothes?

Choose a size up from your normal clothing size so you can wear it over layers without restriction, and check that the sleeves cover your wrists and the pants reach your ankles. Look for suits with adjustable cuffs and waistbands, which let you get a tighter seal to keep water out.

When is it worth paying more for a rain suit?

Spend more if you'll use it regularly or in harsh conditions — better seals, reinforced zippers, and quality stitching last longer and stay dry when cheaper suits start failing. If you only need it for occasional light rain, a basic suit does the job fine.

What features make a rain suit actually practical to wear?

Look for sealed seams (stitched then taped), ventilation panels or back vents to reduce sweating inside, and pockets that stay dry. Reflective strips are essential if you'll wear it while driving or cycling, and a hood that fits over a helmet makes it useful in more situations.
