Three rain jackets in Rains' PU fabric: how they differ and which one suits you.
Rains was founded in Denmark in 2012, is based in Aarhus and started out with the idea of reinventing the raincoat. Today it has three main versions. Here is how they differ, according to their product sheets.
In short
Jacket: the unisex classic with a regular fit and a 5,000 mm water column. Long Jacket: the long version, rated W3. A-Line: a women's jacket with an A-line silhouette, also W3.
All three have PU fabric, sealed seams and a hood with a peak. What changes is the length, the silhouette and the waterproof figure on each sheet.

The Long Jacket is also unisex; the A-Line is cut for women.
