Different Types of Raincoats

[abby12]

The types of raincoats available today vary widely. A cheap plastic rain poncho may be a valuable asset when camping, while an elegant trench style raincoat can be perfect for wearing to the office. Raincoats are available in many lengths, colors, styles and weights. They are a popular outerwear garment in rainy weather for both adults and children.

Rubber or plastic raincoats let water drip down and away from clothing, while cloth varieties are treated with a waterproofing material to keep rain from soaking into the coat. Plastic, or polyurethane, rain gear is often less expensive than fabric coats, but it often causes the body to sweat more easily.
