Have you ever been outdoors when it begins to rain? Being wet is no fun at all! But guess what? Rain jackets are basically magic shields that keep you dry and comfortable. VideoWe’re learning all about these special jackets and how they work.
Rain jackets are not your ordinary jackets. They do this cool thing with the materials they are made out of — they repel water! Think kiddie pool water, slicking up the jacket like a little water slide. They’re made of nylon, polyester, and the likes. They are treated with a special coating that causes water to roll off rather than absorb into the material.
Consider a rain jacket as an umbrella that you wear. If water falls on the jacket, it stays away. With a special coating, water rounds up into small droplets and simply slides off. Vitals: stay warm and dry even when it’s raining cats and dogs outside!
Not all rain jackets are created equal. Some jackets are constructed with a single, water-repellent layer. They can also feel hot and sweaty which isn’t very comfortable. But other jackets have a special additional layer that allows air to move through. These traction jackets breath like you do, keeping you cool and dry.
Selecting a rain jacket is akin to selecting a correct device for a job. Do you want to go hiking? Play outside? Go to school? And different jackets are better suited for different activities. Others are lightweight and packable. Some are tougher and can survive rough play. Choose a coat that feels right and suits what you’re trying to get done.
Rain jackets are not just clothes. They are an individual shield for the rain or a wet weather. They keep you dry, comfy and ready for play or adventure, regardless of what the sky delivers.
