What Is a Waterproof Jacket?
A waterproof jacket is an outerwear garment that is intended to be worn in wet weather or in wet conditions. Some waterproof jackets are designed for use by the general population. These are tailored to adhere to current fashion trends and to fit well over both business clothing and sportswear. Other waterproof garments are intended for industrial use and are designed for function rather than for style. A waterproof jacket designed for industrial use may be part of an entire waterproof uniform. These garments may be worn by any number of professionals whose jobs require them to spend time outdoors, especially in rainy weather. Many police departments outfit their officers with waterproof garments for use during outdoor patrol. It is also common for transportation professionals who work at airports, train stations, and boat docks to wear waterproof clothing as part of their uniforms.
