Actually, not to be an annoying nerd, but technically SBR stands for a synthetic rubber compound called styrene-butadiene rubber. It was made primarily in black, so it's become interchangeable with the term "shiny black rubber". But I have a yellow Lacrosse-Rainfair raincoat made from SBR.

I always imagined it was shiny black raincoat.
I've seen plastic coats described as SBR.
