- Both long Lomon rain jackets share a hood, a drawstring waist and a packable, windproof shell.
- Belted cotton-lined: 100% polyester shell with a striped cotton lining, the softer, cozier feel.
- Plaid-lined trench: an upgraded fabric that the listing calls lighter and more breathable.
- Want something sportier? The Waterproof Active Raincoat adds two front pockets and a waterproof zipper.
- None of them should be ironed; the waterproof finish depends on gentle care.
A Lomon rain jacket is one of the brand's longest-running products, and there are now three to choose from. The two long styles look alike at a glance, with a hood, a cinched waist and a coat-like length, but the lining and fabric make them feel different.
This comparison reads both listings side by side, then adds the shorter active raincoat for context. All three sit in the Outdoor Apparel collection.

Activities named on each listing
Count of uses listed by Lomon
The active raincoat lists the widest range of uses, from cycling to picnics, which matches its sportier build.
Lining: cotton stripe or plaid?
The lining is the biggest difference between the two long jackets. The belted style uses a striped cotton lining that the listing describes as soft to the touch. Cotton feels warmer and less clammy against bare arms.
The plaid-lined trench uses what Lomon calls a newly upgraded professional waterproof fabric, lighter and more breathable than before. The big plaid lining is also the more visible style detail when the hood is down or the front is open.
Style is the tie-breaker for many buyers. The striped lining is low-key; the big plaid shows every time the hood falls back or the front swings open, so it reads more like a fashion trench.
Fit, length and the waist
Both long jackets use a drawstring waist, so you can cinch them into a trench shape or leave them loose over a sweater. The listings call the fit lightweight and casual.
Both listings send you to the size chart in the photos. Measure a jacket you already own and compare, especially if you plan to layer a hoodie underneath.

How to choose a rain jacket
Whichever Lomon rain jacket you lean toward, run through these points first.
- Rain type. Light rain, wind and snow flurries are what the listings name. For hours of heavy downpour, a technical shell is a better tool.
- Temperature. Lined jackets add warmth; unlined, lighter fabric breathes more.
- Pockets and zipper. If you carry a phone in the rain, the active raincoat's two front pockets and waterproof zipper help.
- Packability. All three are pitched as light; the long styles say easy to package.
- Care. Gentle wash and no iron, to protect the waterproof finish.

When the active raincoat is the better buy
The long jackets get most of the attention, but the Waterproof Active Raincoat solves a different problem. It is shorter and sportier, with a drawstring hood, an elastic waist and a waterproof zipper.
The listing calls it a windbreaker and names camping, hiking, riding, cycling, climbing, running, walking and travel. Two front pockets give it more storage than either long style states.
- Pick it for bike commutes, where a long hem gets in the way.
- Pick it for runs and dog walks, where you want your hands free and your phone dry.
- Skip it if you want hip and thigh coverage on a city walk; the long styles cover more.
In short, the long jackets are everyday coats for wet weather, and the active raincoat is a piece of activewear that happens to be waterproof.
Caring for a waterproof jacket
Lomon is specific here. The belted jacket listing recommends a hand wash or gentle machine cycle and says do not iron, to protect the waterproof material. The plaid-lined listing adds hang to dry.
Skip fabric softener, which can coat the fabric, and let the jacket dry fully before you pack it so the lining does not stay damp.
Store the jacket loosely on a hanger or folded in its own space rather than crushed at the bottom of a bag for months. A quick rinse after a salty coastal walk also keeps the shell fresh.
On paper, both long jackets are close. Pick the Belted Cotton-Lined jacket if comfort against the skin and a cozier feel matter most. Pick the Plaid-Lined Trench if you want the lighter, more breathable fabric and the plaid detail. If you need pockets and a waterproof zipper for active days, the shorter Active Raincoat is the practical third option. Pair any of them with a top from Casual and Stylish for city days.
