Buying raincoats is a yearly job and it can become quite a cumbersome task trying to choose well and not end up with a flimsy piece that barely keeps one dry or lasts through the season.
Not that buying a good raincoat is rocket science but still, there are a few things to keep in mind while choosing suitable rainwear. Consider the material and see that it is sturdy and will repel water.
Check that the fastenings are strong and stay closed so water cannot get in through any gaps. Buy the correct size so it comfortable to wear and you can move in it easily.
A hood is recommended to keep one’s head dry, be it attached or detachable. A pocket to keep wallets and keys handy is very convenient.
There are many brands from well-known companies available in India today.
Keeping all these features in mind we have put together a list of the best raincoat brands in India for both men, women and kids to make it easy for you to choose a raincoat best suited to your needs.
