How It Works

1. Protection from Rain:

   • The rain coat’s waterproof material repels water and prevents it from soaking through the fabric, keeping the wearer dry even in heavy rain.

2. Breathable Design:

   • Moisture from sweat is allowed to escape through breathable fabrics or vents, preventing the build-up of heat and moisture inside the coat.

3. Fit Adjustment:

   • The wearer can adjust the cuffs and waist to secure the coat more tightly, preventing rain from entering through gaps.

4. Ease of Use:

   • Quick to put on or take off, the rain coat provides rapid protection from rain when sudden showers occur.
