Im looking at buying a parka/jacket soon for rain/cold... Looking for everyones opinion on a good parka/jacket that is good for cooler weather AND for the pouring rain as well.... And is ANSI compliant. I want lime green with reflective striping.

One jacket Im looking at is the VEA ANSI Class 3 waterproof system. The inner jacket can be taken out and is ANSI compliant as well, and can be used independently of the parka or vice versa. Here's a link to the system here:

Anyone have any suggestions on a similar jacket?

This is the jacket my department has issued to its members:

Really a wonderful jacket. Tough and warm. Even with the armpit airflaps/zippers, it can get pretty warm in humid weather in the rain. Highly recommended.

If your looking for a cheap jacket that when it gets dirty you can toss it once it's past the point of getting it clean ,have a look at these.I've bought several of these for guy's i work with in the towing and they all seem happy with them .They are a fall type jacket some what water proof and machine washable.
