I am in search of a rain jacket with a hood for casual use. I was going to just pick up something black from the north face, but perhaps there are other options out there.
any recs? tia!
(my only stipulation is that is parka length- rather than hip length)

I am honestly not sure. I'm hoping $200 and under will get me a good quality jacket, but if I find one that is more than that, I will hunt/wait for a sale.
Thanks so much for the jacket/brand recs, i;ll be sure to try on that outdoor research jacket once i begin to hit the stores! the problem i'm having at the moment is that I want something longer than hip length- and all of the marmots 's ive seen so far are too short :(
Arcteryx usually has jackets that are longer, but they are very pricey...but very well made. I like them, but they are always too long for my liking...maybe you'll find something in that brand?
Overstock and Smartbargains both have good prices on outerwear, but I don't see much that meets your specifics. If you're an XS maybe this is the one for you - was $260 now $150:
