There are many different types of women's rainwear from pants to jackets and of course, raincoats. Now choosing a raincoat isn't as simple of just finding one that fits. Season plays a big part in the type of raincoat you'll need as does the activities you'll take part in while wearing it. For example, if you are going camping, you'll most likely want to choose different wear than if you were choosing a raincoat to wear for everyday work purposes.
The end use and planned frequency of use will help you when determining your rainwear needs. If you are a runner, you may want to purchase rainwear that will allow you to run even when it is raining cats and dogs. Likewise, if you just need rainwear for casual use, you will want to choose something made of a different fabric and that is comprised of different features.
How often it rains in your area will probably determine the feature you require and how much you are willing to spend on women's rainwear. If you live in an environment where it rains frequently, you will need to choose a raincoat that will withstand frequent use; however, if you live in a relatively dry area, you may be able to get away with one that is just mean to keep you dry in ordinary situations.
Since you are shopping for something that may receive frequent use, depending on where you live and how often it rains, you will probably want products that will last you a long time. That is why it is important to choose rainwear that fits your specific needs. For example, a raincoat purchased for casual use may not withstand the conditions of camping if you plan trips on a regular basis.
Choose the most appropriate fabric for your women's raincoat or other rainwear. There are three general types: water-resistant/breathable, completely waterproof/breathable and ultralight waterproof/breathable.
Water resistant fabric is made to withstand lighter precipitation and is constructed so the water will bead and roll off the raincoat. The other two types are better for harsher weather conditions. The breathable factor will allow sweat to escape through the fabric which will keep you more comfortable. Again, the fabric you need will depend on your area and predicted frequency of use.
