London Fog raincoats

Sure but are they waterproof as opposed to water resistant? I did write to London Fog to ask which are water proof but, as seems to be common practice nowadays, I got no reply. Of course, that may be an answer right there. They don't have any.

London Fog changed significantly and their quality went down over the years.
The low price probably attracts you, but you usually get what you pay for. Most aren't waterproof, including many that are specified so.
There are endless alternatives (albeit at higher price). I would look elsewhere.
Good luck and stay dry.

You are right but they aren't the only ones. I was quite disappointed at what I saw. I bought another so-called "high end" brand and had to take it back because the zipper kept getting stuck. The store associate tried several and they were all impossible to work smoothly, if at all.

The whole garment industry has gone to -------------------- "over there"?

Some labels (perhaps even London Fog) aren't the original companies. Someone just bought the name.
There are still few good labels around, but they are quite expensive.
