A good raincoat? [View all]

I need some advice. I just got back from a tour to the Adriatic including Croatia and Slovenia. It rained a couple days and my new Lands End "raincoat" was worthless. Wet hair, and wet arms! It was sold as good for light showers. No!
Looking online I see some but several revues say they do not keep out rain. Even some ponchoes.
Does anyone know of a good womens raincoat with hood that actually keeps you dry?
Appreciate any suggestions.
