Tingley Rain Gear

A Tingley Rain Gear 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.Washing Raingear: It's important to wash your raingear after every use to prevent dirt buildup. To do away with minor dirt, wash the raingear in warm water with no detergent. For a more thorough cleaning, machine wash with a mild detergent or non-detergent soap like Nikwax Techwash. Rinse the garment twice to eliminate soap residue. Dry the jacket on low or steam-iron it on warm or synthetic. Either process will redistribute the DWR finish more than an air-dry. NEVER use bleach, fabric softener or dry-cleaning solvents on rainjackets.
