Rain Gear For Girls

There are several types of waterproof materials that are used in rainjackets, but most fall into three categories: Rubberized raingear, Coated Nylon By stretching Teflon into a thin membrane, Gore created a fabric that repelled water in it's liquid form (rain), but allowed it to pass in a vapor form ("breath"). This waterproof membrane is often embedded beneath an outer layer of nylon in Gore-TEX jackets. Though often considered the top-of-the-line jacket, they are quite expensive. DWR: Durable Water-Repellant Finish (DWR) is a final coating put on coated nylon and Gore-TEX jackets that causes water to bead up on the shell rather than soak in. When the DWR coating washes or wears off, the jacket will absorb more water. To restore the DWR coating, see Raingear Care.When looking for raingear, you can use a few basic features to distinguish between pants and jackets in order to decide what you want to buy.
