You will find there are other discussions on these raincoats elsewhere on this forum , I have had one for a few months now and I am exceptionally pleased with it . I bought the Stockholm , they are expensive but I think worth it . I am not so sure about the lined ones - which are much more expensive .
It is of course totally waterproof and comfortable to wear any time . I would have liked it a couple of inches longer but perhaps the long version is too long for many people . You should persuade your lady friend to get one of the shiny ones which look just great on the fairer sex.
The quality of manufacture is exceptionally good and I may even buy another one !
