01

Start with the route

Consider the walk, commute and weather you regularly meet. A brief trip to transit asks for something different from a long outdoor day.

02

Test the fit over clothes

Try the layer over the thickest ordinary outfit. Lift your arms and close it fully; a raincoat that restricts movement tends to stay unused.

Give it a drying place

Hang a wet layer where it can dry without soaking nearby clothes. Check the care label before washing or reproofing any fabric.
