Oddly enough, I saw something like this in use a couple months ago. The crew at a drive up coffee shop were using it while they delivered orders to parked customers. They are called "Walking Pods". https://utwpods.com/collections/wearable-pods

Been in some storms when I woulda liked to have had this. But knee-length rubber boots, too.

If the contraption doesn't reach the ankles, it's worthless.
