Rain Defender®

Rain Defender Jacket
 

Rain Defender®, Durable water repellent—water beads up and rolls off.

Rain Defender® durable water repellent garments are just as functional and comfortable while fishing, hunting, working, or standing on the sidelines at a football game in a sudden November rain. Water will bead up and roll off your sweatshirt, jacket, overalls, pants, and more, so a little rain won’t stop you from finishing the job without changing your gear.

How to Measure

Diagram showing where to measure chest, natural waist, and hips.

CHEST:

Measure just under arms and across shoulder blades holding the tape firm and level. If your chest falls between sizes, order the next size up.

NATURAL WAIST:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

HIPS:

Measure the fullest point between your natural waist and crotch.

Note: For best results measure over your undergarments. Use a cloth measuring tape.

Fits

Relaxed Fit: closer to body Loose Fit: ease at body

Our guys love them because they are so light and comfortable'
Very light weight, very comfortable vest. Great for operating machinery because it isn't binding on your body. So light you may forget you have it on.

Gilliam Vest
This is the second vest I have bought my husband. He loved the first one but inadvertently left it at a gas station in Iowa. By the time we realized it, it was too late to go back. So I bought him a second one and he loves this one too. Thanks for helping me take care of my darling husband of 40+ years!
