GorTex Rain Coat
GorTex raincoat 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 and coated nylons. These fabrics allow some air to pass through, allowing the garment to 'breathe' so that sweat vapour can escape. The amount of pouring rain a raincoat can handle is sometimes meassured in the unit millimeters, water gauge.A Rain coat by this period was a ten-buttoned, double-breasted
long coat made with tan, khaki, beige, or black fabric. Rain coats
often have cuff straps on the raglan sleeves, shoulder straps and a belt. Rain coat was typically worn as a windbreaker or as a rain jacket, and not for protection from the cold in winter or snowy conditions.
