The Latest Integrated Clothing Technology
The technical concepts behind waterproof rain jackets have come miles since their inception. Today, outdoor hikers, cyclists, and even casual urban dwellers will find that the engineering behind a rain jacket is out of this world. Older jackets were often suffocating against the skin, not allowing any air to flow through the thicker weather and windproof layers. Modern jackets feature multiple vents for increased breathability, both inside and out.Mobility has also witnessed a marked improvement. Today’s styles allow for a complete range of motion, never preventing athletes from utilizing their entire body. Stretch fabric is now common, replacing the bulky synthetic plastic layers that were previously used.
