Types of Waterproof Fabrics
GORE WEAR Men's Thermo Cycling Jacket, C5, Gore-TEX INFINIUM $220
- Gore-Tex: This is by far the most popular material for waterproof clothing and is also one of the best. Gore-Tex is made from polyester or nylon fabric coated with a thin layer of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) resin to create an outer membrane that keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture from your body to escape. It's durable, lightweight, and breathable--and it'll last years if you take care of it properly!
- Neoprene: Neoprene is another excellent option if you want something durable but with more flexibility than Gore-Tex provides; this type of fabric stretches easily, so it won't restrict movement when worn under clothing like jeans or leggings during activities like hiking or biking where comfort matters most!
Choosing the Right Waterproof Clothing

Choosing the proper waterproof clothing depends on fabric, style, color, fit, and price.
The fabric you choose for your waterproof clothing will determine how it feels on your skin. The best materials are breathable (to prevent sweating) and flexible enough to move with you as you work or play in the rain. Cotton is an example of an absorbent material that can get heavy when wet; polyester dries quickly but can be stiffer than other materials; nylon is lightweight but less durable than cotton or polyester; wool is warm yet breathable, so it keeps moisture away from your skin while still allowing air circulation through its fibers--it's also naturally water repellant thanks to lanolin oils produced by sheep during the shearing season.
And lastly but most importantly: don't forget about fit! Nothing ruins an outfit faster than ill-fitting clothes.
Tips for Styling Waterproof Clothing

- Layer. Waterproof clothing is excellent for layering, especially if you want to add a layer of warmth or protection from the elements. Wear a waterproof jacket over a sweater or t-shirt or under your parka in winter.
- Accessorize or Mix 'N Match There are so many fun ways to accessorize with your waterproof pieces--think hats, scarves, and gloves that match your coat color scheme. If you're feeling really bold, go wild with prints. There is even waterproof jewelry you can wear! Just have fun with it.
