New Waterproof Clothing
The first waterproof coat to be made in the world was the Macintosh coat. This process of making waterproof clothing started way back in 1823 when Charles Mackintosh came up with a method of spreading rubber onto cotton and hence the result was to produce a waterproof fabric. This was seen as the greatest achievement of the time but it had some shortfalls. The problem was in the smell and stiffness of the coat and the disposition to melt in hot weather. Through this method developed by Mackintosh, today we have several different types of waterproof products which each of them work in a different way.
A waterproof trouser is often a single nylon or plastic layer that is infused with a waterproofing substance for instance the laminate. Most of these trousers are lightweight and keep you dry even in deep of the waters but they are however noisy and some may have no space for breathing making the wearer to sweat. However, there has been the improvement in technology which is why there are tremendous changes taking place in the clothing industry. There has been the production of lightweight waterproof jacket by big names in the clothing industry like the Jack Murphy which are now waterproof, windproof and are even breathable. These jackets are ideal for everyday wear when you are out and about.
