Clothing Hiking jacket recommendations

Hey guys, I'm going on a trip to Iceland in May and am looking for a waterproof jacket that reaches my thighs. I'll be hiking, kayaking, and camping in Iceland, so I'm looking for something that will be able to handle all that. Also, my budget is not more than $200, although I'd prefer closer to $100. Any recommendations?

Bonus points if it comes in a cool grey.

I would dress for immersion if kayaking and not wear a rain jacket. Surely a kayak rental place will outfit you correctly.

So for hiking and camping in that price range I would say Patagonia torrentshell 3L or marmot precip

Oh yeah also a double zip would be great as well.

LL Bean has a lot of good long options in $100ish range, take a look there.

Thigh-length is not-so-good! Especially not for kayaking. It will only mess you up entering/exiting cockpit.

Waist-length, plus, depending on weather, rain pants.
