Whether you’re standing all morning in a mountain stream or vigorously hiking the several miles it takes to get there, you need reliable rainwear. Fortunately, fishing rainwear can be the same as your other rainwear – just keep in mind the activity at hand when comparing features.
Water-Resistant/Breathable
Rainwear,http://cgwave.dothome.co.kr/renew/sm...2203#msg902203, the outer shell of any layering system, is offered in 3 basic fabric categories.

Types of Rainwear Fabric
Positives – Waterproof/nonbreathable shells are completely waterproof for the ultimate protection from rain and snow. They are more durable and less expensive than most other outer shells.
Negatives – Nonbreathable shells can become very uncomfortable when temperatures heat up and/or your activity level rises. The moisture and heat that your body produces can’t pass through the fabric itself (like it does with breathable fabrics),http://www.gsmdunyasi.net/showthread...098#post757098, so these shells have to be cut extremely loose (like ponchos) or they must have vents or openings built in to let the heat and sweat out. This typically results in a heavier, bulkier and warmer garment.
Best Uses – Because of the lack of breathability, these shells are the best choice when temperatures and activity levels are expected to be low,http://www.amiguinhas.com.br/index.p...er-miss-any-t/, but the chance of heavy precipitation is high. Because they’re so affordable, waterproof/nonbreathable fabrics are also used occasionally in moderate conditions (usually in inexpensive rain pants and emergency ponchos).
Positives - Water-resistant/breathable shells repel wind and light precipitation while providing excellent breathability to keep you cool when your body heats up. They tend to be lighter, less bulky and less expensive than other shells.
Negatives - They are not waterproof enough to protect you in harsh weather conditions or during extended periods of rain.
Best Uses – Water-resistant/breathable fabrics are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who travel in arid and/or warm conditions where good breathability is important and the chance of heavy precipitation is low. They’re perfect for short trips in good weather, or if you need weather protection during strenuous hikes to your favorite fishing hole.
Positives – Waterproof/breathable shells are an excellent choice for a wide range of weather conditions and activities. Their combination of breathability and moisture protection means that you can use a single shell for everything from summer sprinkles to heavy,http://cgwave.dothome.co.kr/renew/sm...7461#msg857461, wet snowfall.
Negatives – Waterproof/breathable fabrics are more expensive than other types of rainwear. While generally outstanding, even they have their limits. Exact performance depends on the type of waterproof/breathable fabric, the extent of the downpour, the amount of activity and other factors.
Best Uses - More and more outdoor enthusiasts (of all kinds) are choosing waterproof/breathable fabrics for their outer shell. These fabrics are comfortable in a wide variety of conditions and activity levels. Combined with the latest design features, the current generation of waterproof / breathable shells offers the best performance you can buy.
