Overcoat is designed for pair? No! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rainproof

'overcoat' is the definition.
(an overcoat is a rainproof item of clothing)

'designed for pair? no' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates an anagram (designed with the letters).
'for'+'pair'+'no'='forpairno'
'forpairno' is an anagram of 'RAINPROOF'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rainproof that I've seen before include "Impervious" , "coat" , "Like protective cover" , "protected from storms?" , "top of home should be this!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
