Professional Rain Gear - April Showers Bring Thunderstorms and May Flowers.

"In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours."
                        - Mark Twain

April showers bring May flowers, and rainstorms, thunderstorms, tornados, and hurricanes.  The weather changes so fast during the spring that you can leave the house in the morning sunshine, eat lunch during a rainstorm, and enjoy dinner while watching the Weather Channel on the television because of a possible approaching tornado. 

It's not so bad if all you have to worry about is going from the house to your car and from the car to your office at work.  Usually an umbrella will do just fine, or maybe a light raincoat.  But for the people who have to work outside in the rain, like policemen or emergency road crews, storms and foul weather can become bothersome and uncomfortable very quickly.

"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet."

The hood is detachable and the raincoat is extra full sizing so it can fit over work clothes.  This coat comes in colors of yellow or lime.

Another style choice is the Storm Breaker Rain Water Suit.  This two or three piece suit is also a heavy-duty .35mm PVC on polyester rain suit with a cape back and corduroy collar.  It comes with two pockets with flaps and has snap closures and built-in vents.

The hood is also detachable and the rain water suit comes in extra full sizing to fit over work clothes and comes in either yellow or orange colors.

If you are looking for just a rain jacket, then the Viz-Polar Bomber Jacket, Class III for Winter Use may be just what you need.  It is coated with a PU membrane for higher water repellency.  The Lining is a 300 gram Premium quality Black Polar Fleece for exceptional warmth.  All major seams are double stitched and taped for extra strength.

The jacket includes two 8 inch x 9 inch wide front zippered pockets, two 8 inch x 12 inch wide inside pockets with Velcro closures and one 7 inch x 7 inch wide inside pocket with a zipper closure.  It also has one left triceps pocket with two compartments and three compartment pockets, one being a clear see-through compartment, on the front right chest.  It also has a 2 ply roll-up hood with draw strings equipped with cord locks that is stored inside the back of the collar and secured with a zipper.  The Viz-Polar Bombers Jacket comes oversized to compensate for heavy work clothes.

These types of rain clothes are a good idea if you have a job that often takes you outside, or your travels take you in different types of climate and you would like the security of a good rain outfit to have in the trunk of your car. 

Why get wet when you don't have to?  It's easier to put on a rain coat or rain suit and stay dry than it is to try to get you and your clothes dry after being caught in the April showers that brings May flowers, and thunderstorms, tornados,and hurricanes.
