When it’s raining do you prefer a raincoat or an umbrella?

I rather just run..or wear a regular jacket. I honestly rather not carry a wet umbrella or raincoat. 
 

Plus umbrellas are useless unless you’re in pleasantville where rain only falls straight down. 

 
Depends.  If I'm mooching about outside at home, then it's shirt off and don't use anything.  If I'm out and expecting rain then a jacket, and an umbrella lives in the car for all those other unexpected wets.  Similar to Florida I guess, when the wet season kicks in here not much keeps you dry except keeping out of the rain all together.

I used to have a routine for when I was a student and had to be out in the rain sometimes to get to classes. I would wear shorts, a raincoat large enough to cover my backpack and my shorts, and rubber flip flops so they dried quickly/could be wiped dry. Worked like a charm. My legs would be wet, but my clothes/shoes wouldn't be, which was ideal since Florida practically insists on keeping buildings at 60, even when it's 80/90 out. Be hot as hell outside, and then inside you need a jacket. If you're wet to boot, you were freezing.
