FEATURE | Rainy Season Essentials
Regardless of your appreciation for functional clothing, a raincoat should be a staple in anyone’s wardrobe, especially if you live in an area prone to unpredictable weather. In a country like Japan, for example, witha rainy season, locals must be equipped with a waterproof layer to keep the intermittent showers at bay and themselves dry. eye_C has compiled a variety of waterproof jackets alongside bottoms and headwear from the likes of FreshService, nonnative, isness and Goldwin 0, demonstrating the different examples of raincoats and their ubiquitous technologies. From PERTEX SHIELD to GORE-TEX 3L, each brand has a preferred technical fabric of choice for many reasons, whether it be the specific application or waterproof rating, usually measured via a Hydrostatic Head Test.
