Two Rain Jackets Compared Side by Side
Two Rain Jackets Compared Side by Side. I have purchased two rain jackets and I have worn them in different occasions this past year. This has given me a good idea how good these rain jackets can be and for what climate they work for best.

How does it feel
This rain jacket to me is a great one if you are needing not only protection from the rain but protection from the cold weather. The jacket has a micro-fleece body lining, which helps tremendously for the cold weather. I feel like it is a bite heavy for an everyday use as it is advertised. I live in Miami, FL, this jacket would to hot for me to wear on a everyday purpose. Once the sun kicks in, you will have to take it off because it will be too hot for comfort.
Who would wear this rain jacket
Fire Fighters, Policemen, Security Guards, are a few key people that would benefit from using this rain jacket. The one thing I notice is that the jacket would need to be embroidered only for the back of the rain jacket. Just incase you wanted or you were thinking of printing a logo on the back of the jacket. I did use this jacket when I went to London and Scotland. It did rain at both locations and it was nipple. I can tell you that the jacket not only kept me warm and dry. It really did its job. For a cold climate area this jacket is 100% worth the money.

How does it feel
After trying on this rain jacket, I feel that it is really light weight. It has a light mesh inside that help the rain jacket from not sticking on your skin. I have used the rain jacket on a rainy day while I was fishing in the Miami Bay. It really helped protect me from the elements. I would say that this rain jacket is perfect for a everyday use.
Who is the perfect customer for this rain jacket
I think that anyone that works outside will benefit from this rain jacket. The rain jacket could be used in all weathers. It is light weight but it also protects you from the cold, it has a zipper for easy access for embroidery or screen printing on the front part of the rain jacket. It also has a zipper for access to the back of the jacket but it is limited access. You will have a hard time printing on the back of this jacket because it is not a lot of room to play with. Overall I love this rain jacket.
