Rain Coats

A rainwear or slicker is a waterproof or water-resistant coat worn to protect the body from rain. The term rain jacket is sometimes used to refer to raincoats that are waist-length. A rain jacket may be combined with a pair of rain pants to make a rain suit. Modern raincoats are often constructed of breathable, waterproof fabrics such as Gore-Tex or Tyvek. These fabrics allow some air to pass through, allowing the garment to ‘breathe’ so that sweat vapor can escape.
