waterproof Vest

If you live in a rainy climate, are planning an outdoor adventure or just want something for those occasional rainy days then buy yourself a waterproof vest. Vests are perfect for that trendy layered look but their appeal goes far beyond fashion. Whether you are camping, hiking, mountain biking, running errands or just hanging out a vest can keep you warm and dry. There are many different manufacturers of vests made from warm waterproof materials. One is Columbia, a brand name you probably recognize if you are the outdoorsy type.


For women heading to the ski slopes or out to play in the snow with their kids, there is the Columbia Powder Dreams Vest. This reversible vest comes in the feminine Prairie Rose color and the spicy red Daredevil color, and is stuffed with the warmest down for ultimate insulation and heat retention. You can wear the solid color side or the two-toned side depending on the look you are going for. Made from polyester on both sides, this vest is meant to repel both water and cold. It is ideal for layering over thermal tops and under ski jackets for a versatile outfit that takes you from the slopes to the lodge.

Men who love to fish should check out the Mens Brule River Vest also by Columbia. This vest is more than waterproof -- it is a fisherman's dream apparel item! Made from Omni-Tech nylon material, this vest features a rod holder and pigtail clip retractors that can carry your tackle. A variety of pockets and a sporty look make this vest a must have for any man planning a fishing trip. If you're not fishing but want a vest to keep the water away, check out the Alpino II vest, perfect for snowy conditions because it is waterproof and very warm.

In addition to the Columbia company, you will find waterproof vest choices available from companies like The North Face, L.L. Bean and Cabela's just to name a few. Not only are these vests made for men, women and children they are also made for dogs. If your pooch hates the rain but needs to go outside regularly check out the offerings from Puppy Angel and Pet Crazee, two top dog apparel boutiques on the Internet. Petsmart and Petco may also have dog raincoats and vest that are waterproof.
