Every time I’ve visited Europe, there has been at a notable amount of rain. I now know to never cross the pond without a sturdy raincoat tucked into my luggage. Yes, you can wear a regular coat and take an umbrella but if you’re being very active at all, an umbrella can be cumbersome.
It is helpful to wear a jacket that allows you to quickly pull up a hood when a light shower pops up. Also, look for one with large front pockets for your cell phone, tissues and anything else you want to keep dry but close at hand. The best kind of hood will allow you to fully cover your head loosely. Drawstring hoods are nice if you’re hiking in the woods during a monsoon, but if you are checking out the sites in London or Paris, you’ll want a hood that will cover your hair without scrunching it up and ruining your hairstyle.
You'll need a jacket that is long enough to cover your tush. Trust me on this one. Not even a good umbrella can keep your rear dry in a good London downpour.

Price is also a consideration for most of us. You need not spend a fortune to get a coat that suits your travel needs. This Columbia jacket from Amazon is functional and affordable. It comes in a nice range of colors that should fit just about any travel wardrobe color scheme.
