Rain Jackets

Rain jackets are the garments that offer the highest level of performance in the rain. These jackets are designed for severe wet weather conditions and can also prove versatile on cold days. Rain jackets are for all; men and women, young and old. These jackets are available in a wide variety of colors like red, brown, black, blue, cream and grey, and have distinct patterns. Sizes for all body types are easy to find and fit perfectly.

How would you like a jacket that would work as both water proof as well as a wind jacket?  These jackets have thermal insulated coating on the underneath which prevents the loss of heat in cold weather. Rain jackets are light weight, durable and easily packable. They are also very comforting while traveling.

If you are looking for a rain jacket, look for a garment that is either water proof or water resistant. Waterproof fabric should be able to seal or tape the garment so that no water leaks in through small perforations made during construction of apparel. In place of water proof fabric a water resistant material can also be selected because they have a hydro-phobic coating on the fabric that resists water.

Criteria other than waterproofing and water resistant that one should look for in a jacket are that they should be breathable and have moisture management. These qualities are achieved when ventilation is provided in the garment. Rain jackets available in the market today are made from three kinds of materials: PVC (Poly vinyl), coated fabrics and laminated fabrics. All these fabrics are waterproof however PVC is the only fabric that is not breathable as compared to the other two.

Some of the special features that will be seen in rain jackets are fleeced lined collar which are not only soft but also comfortable and have the ability to absorb moisture, shock cords to allow adjustment of waist girth, wind flaps or storm flaps to prevent air and water blowing on face, hoods to save head from wetting and pockets to keep important stuff that needs to be saved from rain.
