Best Cycling Rain Jackets for Women on Adult Tricycles
Five women's jackets, from vented 10000mm shells to a long trench cut that covers you while seated upright.
Updated · 3 min read · 5 products evaluated
Women's rain jackets vary more in cut than men's, and on a tricycle the cut matters because you sit upright with your hips and thighs exposed to spray from the front wheel. A short jacket leaves your seat wet, while a long one has to stay clear of the seat and rear wheels.
These five jackets span three styles: a vented 10000mm shell, a soft-shell trench with a cotton lining, and a long packable coat with a two-way zipper. Each is compared on hem length, hood adjustment and how it handles a seated posture.
Short answer
The 33,000ft jacket is the best overall, with 10000mm waterproofing, vents and a drop tail hem. Outdoor Ventures is close, baleaf is the lightweight option, SaphiRose is the best long coat for seated riding, and LOMON is the soft-shell trench for cool, light-rain days.

Best Overall1 of 5
33,000ft Packable Rain Jacket for Women
A vented 10000mm jacket with a drop tail hem that covers the seat when you lean forward.
Best for
Everyday rainy rides
Why we like it
The jacket is rated at 10000mm, with armpit air vents, a mesh lining, fully sealed outside zippers and a drawstring hood. Its drop tail hem is 1.5 inches longer at the back, designed for cycling and running.
Compared with SaphiRose it is shorter and more athletic, but it keeps the hem drop where a trike seat needs it. Against baleaf it is heavier but vents better. Check the cuff fit over gloves, since elasticized cuffs can be snug.

Best Alternative2 of 5
Outdoor Ventures Packable Rain Jacket for Women
A 10000mm TPU membrane jacket with the same hem and vent design, sold with a packable pouch.
Best for
Riders who prefer this cut to the top pick
Why we like it
Outdoor Ventures is made of high-density polyester with a TPU membrane at 10000mm and fully sealed construction. Armpit vents and a mesh lining help ventilation, and the elasticized hem, horse hoof shaped cuff and 1.5 inch longer drop tail hem are made for cycling.
It is very close to 33,000ft, so choose by fit and color. It packs into its pouch for a handbag, which is useful if you leave the trike basket empty, and the ride-ready hem details are what separate it from the soft-shell LOMON.

Lightest Pick3 of 5
baleaf Packable Rain Jacket for Women
About 285g with five pockets and back vents, ideal for riders who value carrying a phone and keys on the jacket.
Best for
Light carry and pocket space
Why we like it
baleaf weighs about 285g and packs into its back pocket. It is fully seam-sealed, rated above 5000mm, with back vents, an elastic rope hood and five pockets that hold a 6.5 inch phone.
It carries more than the 33,000ft jacket and weighs less, but gives a lower waterproof rating and lacks armpit vents. It suits riders who use pockets instead of a basket, and it should be your choice if weight is the main concern.
Key specs
| Size | About 285g |

Best Long Coat4 of 5
SaphiRose Women's Long Packable Rain Jacket
A longer trench cut with a two-way zipper so you can open the bottom while seated on the trike.
Best for
Seated riders who want coverage over the seat
Why we like it
SaphiRose is a long trench cut with a drawcord waist, elastic cuffs and a longer back hem. It uses a 2-layer shell with a DWR finish, has two zippered hand pockets and a two-way zipper that lets you sit and reach your layers.
It gives more coverage than 33,000ft or baleaf, and the two-way zip helps when the seat bunches the fabric. The sizing guide says sizes are garment measurements, so choose a size larger than your body size to allow layers, and keep the hem clear of the rear wheels.
Key specs
| Features | Long cut, two-way zipper, 2-layer shell with DWR, OEKO-TEX certified |
|---|
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Long coverage over the seat

Best Soft-Shell Option5 of 5
LOMON Women's Softshell Trench Raincoat
A cotton-lined polyester trench with an attached hood, made for light rain and wind.
Best for
Cool days with light rain
Why we like it
LOMON is 100% polyester with a striped cotton lining and an attached hood. It has a drawstring waist and is meant to be breathable, windproof and quick-drying in light rain or snow.
It gives no waterproof rating and no taped seams, so it is the weakest here in heavy rain. It is warmer and softer than the technical shells, which makes it useful for cool days, and the size chart should be checked carefully before ordering.

- Soft cotton lining

How We Chose These Cycling Rain Jackets for Women
- Hem length and seat coverage
- We favored longer back hems or trench cuts, because a seated trike rider is hit by spray from the front wheel and loses coverage when a short jacket rides up.
- Waterproof construction
- We noted ratings and sealed seams, giving more weight to jackets with 10000mm numbers, and noting where no rating was given at all.
- Hood and cuff adjustment
- We checked drawstring hoods, cuff tabs and hem cords, since a jacket that adjusts is easier to wear over a helmet and gloves.
- Sizing guidance
- We noted size charts and garment-measurement warnings, because women's sizes vary between brands and a jacket that is too tight restricts reaching the handlebar.
What to Look for in a Cycling Rain Jacket for Women
Drop tail or long hem
When you sit upright, your seat and thighs sit under the jacket hem. A short hem rides up and leaves your clothes wet.
Look for a drop tail hem, such as 1.5 inches longer on 33,000ft, or a long cut like SaphiRose. Keep the hem clear of the rear wheels and chain.
Two-way zippers
A two-way zipper opens from the bottom as well as the top. When you sit, the fabric bunches around your lap, and opening the lower zipper relieves it.
Check for the zipper by name in the details. It also lets you reach layers underneath, which helps when temperatures change during a long ride.
Hood adjustment
A hood needs a cord adjuster to keep it from covering your side view. On a trike you look over each shoulder at junctions.
Look for hoods with two-way adjustment or a brim, as on Bikewa-style hoods, and test with your helmet on. A detachable or rollable hood gives more choice.
Size by garment measurement
Some brands list garment measurements instead of body measurements. SaphiRose advises choosing a size larger than your body size to leave room for layers.
Compare the chart with a jacket you own. A jacket that fits snug across the back pulls when you reach forward to the bars.
How to Choose
By Riding Style
| Situation | Our pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Daily commute in steady rain | 33,000ft | 10000mm with vents and drop tail hem |
| Want long seat coverage | SaphiRose | Trench length with two-way zipper |
| Phone and keys in pockets | baleaf | Five pockets, including 6.5 inch phone size |
| Prefer a different fitted cut | Outdoor Ventures | Same 10000mm rating, pouch included |
| Cool day, light drizzle | LOMON | Cotton-lined soft shell with hood |
Technical Shell vs Trench Cut
- Technical shell
- 33,000ft, Outdoor Ventures and baleaf have sealed construction, ratings, and vents. They handle heavy rain better but cover less of your legs.
- Trench cut
- SaphiRose and LOMON are longer or softer, so they cover more of your seat and look casual. SaphiRose has a 2-layer DWR shell, while LOMON gives no rating.
Choose a technical shell for heavy rain and a trench for city rides and seat coverage.
For Commuting to Work Specifically
- Look for
- A jacket that looks neat off the bike, a long enough hem, zippered pockets and room for layers. A pouch lets you stash it at your desk.
- In this comparison
- SaphiRose has a city-ready trench shape with zippered pockets and a packable bag. 33,000ft is the sportier choice for heavier rain.
When to Spend More
- Spend more if
- You ride in steady rain. 33,000ft or Outdoor Ventures add a 10000mm rating and vents that cheaper jackets do not give, so you stay drier over long rides.
- Save if
- You ride only in light drizzle. SaphiRose and LOMON cost less, and their softer cuts suit short city trips more than long storms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hem length is best for riding a trike?
A back hem that is longer than the front covers your seat when you sit upright. 33,000ft has a drop tail hem 1.5 inches longer, and SaphiRose is a full trench length. Check clearance from the rear wheels so the hem does not catch.
Is a long raincoat safe on a tricycle?
It can be, if the hem stays clear of the wheels and chain. SaphiRose has a drawcord waist and a two-way zipper so you can open the lower part. Test it seated in the driveway before riding in traffic.
How do I choose a size for women's rain jackets?
Compare the size chart with a jacket you own, and allow layers. SaphiRose advises sizing up because its numbers are garment measurements, not body measurements. A snug fit across the back restricts reaching for the handlebars.
Can I wear a hood over a helmet?
Usually the hood goes over the helmet, so look for a drawstring that tightens. Test it with your helmet on and turn your head both ways. If it blocks your side view, tighten it or roll the hood back.
Is LOMON waterproof enough for heavy rain?
It gives no waterproof rating or seam information, and describes itself as suited to light rain or snow. For heavy rain choose a rated jacket like 33,000ft. LOMON is a better fit for cool days with light drizzle.
Bottom Line
The 33,000ft jacket is the best choice for most women on adult tricycles because it gives 10000mm waterproofing, vents and a drop tail hem. SaphiRose is the best long coat for seat coverage, baleaf is the lightest, and LOMON suits cool, light-rain days. Check hem length and sizing against a jacket you own before ordering.
