Waterproof trench coats are designed to combine the classic trench coat style with waterproof materials and features to keep the wearer dry in wet weather. These coats often use water-resistant or waterproof fabrics (such as polyester, nylon, or special membrane fabrics) and may include taped seams, adjustable hoods, and water-resistant linings for enhanced protection against rain. Key features of waterproof trench coats include:
- Water resistance or waterproof fabric with water columns often around 10,000 mm.
- Breathable and warm inner linings to maintain comfort.
- Classic trench style elements like double-breasted fronts, belts, and buttons.
- Additional practical features such as adjustable or removable hoods, hidden or zippered pockets, and taped seams for 100% waterproof performance.
- Many are designed to be lightweight while providing protection from wind and rain.
Examples range from coats suitable for light to moderate rain (water- resistant) to those offering full waterproofing for heavy showers with taped seams and high-performance waterproof membranes. Some brands also offer eco- friendly versions with recycled materials. Waterproof trench coats are versatile for different weather conditions and stylish enough for casual or business wear, with a variety of colors and fits available from multiple brands and retailers for both men and women.
