A raincoat, also known as a rain jacket or waterproof coat, is a garment designed to protect the wearer from rainwater. It is typically made from water-resistant or waterproof materials such as rubberized fabric, PVC, or coated nylon. The main purpose of a raincoat is to keep the body dry during wet weather conditions.
Raincoats usually have a hood to protect the head and neck from getting wet, and they may feature drawstrings or adjustable closures to provide a snug fit and prevent water from seeping in. Some raincoats also have additional features like taped seams, storm flaps, and ventilation systems to enhance waterproofing and breathability.
Raincoats are commonly worn by people who need to spend time outdoors in rainy or wet environments, such as hikers, cyclists, commuters, and outdoor workers. They are also popular among individuals for everyday use during rainy seasons. Raincoats come in various styles, lengths, and colors to suit different preferences and purposes.
In addition to protecting against rain, modern raincoats often incorporate lightweight and breathable materials, allowing for comfort and ease of movement while preventing overheating and moisture build-up inside the garment.
