"Rain-Coast": the Raincoat for Seattle

This project was inspired by a vintage Adidas rip-stop nylon in cobalt blue. The all-over abstract design is screen printed with a highly reflective ink.

This coat meets the needs of Seattlites and cyclists.
  • Eye-level drawcord on the hood ensures peripheral vision, and perimeter drawcord keeps hood snug around your face
  • Knee length coat protects from side-ways rain
  • Thinsulate insulation keeps you warm fall through spring, without adding bulk
  • Zippered "cash pocket" is easily accessible on left sleeve
  • Elastic and adjustable velcro cuffs help keep heat in and rain out
  • Two patch pockets with flaps
  • Interior zippered pocket, and inside storm guard lined with fleece
  • Drawcord at waist and hem.
  • Two-way zipper unzips from the hem so you can pedal easily
  • Reflective piping detail on front chest, back and sleeve
