What Are Different Types of Raincoats?
The types of raincoats available today vary widely. A cheap plastic rain poncho may be a valuable asset when camping, while an elegant trench style raincoat can be perfect for wearing to the office. Raincoats are available in many lengths, colors, styles and weights. They are a popular outerwear garment in rainy weather for both adults and children. Children’s raincoats are often brightly colored and may feature cartoon characters or animal designs. They may have snaps or a zipper fastener. Some children’s rain jackets are longer with rolled up or cuffed sleeves to allow them to still be worn as a child grows a size or two. Rain wear made for adults is typically made in solid colors, but the selections may include pastels and brights as well as neutrals.
