Do you think investing in a waterproof garment isn't as important? Think again! Would you feel comfortable staying all day in your office or college wet during rainy days? Do you want to get a cold after returning home after a long day at work? If not, investing in a waterproof jacket is a must.

Qualities to look for in a waterproof jacket before buying it

Some of the factors that you need to check before buying waterproof gear are:

1.    Fabrics

Polyurethane and PVC are the most popular fabrics for waterproof jackets. Craghoppers waterproof jackets are manufactured with these fabrics.

2.    Breathability

Materials like Gore-Tex are porous polytetrafluoroethylene have pores on the surface that are small enough to prevent water from seeping inside and big enough to allow the moisture to evaporate.

3.    Pay attention to the seams

Materials with critically woven seams are more effective in keeping the water out than sealed seams. Trespass waterproof jackets have perfect seams for best water resistance.

4.    Level of waterproofness
