That's a really cool looking thing! reminds me Russian military plasch-palatka. Perhaps slightly on a heavy side, but still it should do a good job

Long enough to cover legs and feet. A hood. Fully waterproof. Able to cinch shut the opening for hands and feet and therby have a protectiv sack. Weight only 1 pound 4 oz.

This is also a great thing! Amazing!
