Raincoat Fabric Olive

Raincoat Fabric Olive

Look at the photo and you'll see right away what this fabric is famous for - water droplets stay perfectly bead-shaped on the surface without soaking in. The olive green colour has a muted, earthy tone with a matte finish that doesn't shine obtrusively. The surface looks tight and closed, with a subtle sheen where light catches it, exactly what you expect from a well-coated raincoat fabric.

What is this material

This raincoat fabric is a combination of polyester with a polyurethane coating, giving you a sturdy, closed-weave fabric that stops water rather than letting it through. The structure is firm and won't hang slack, which is nice when you're making a jacket or poncho that needs to hold its shape. The fabric is opaque and has minimal breathability, so it's really made for protection against the elements rather than everyday comfort like cotton. It's important to know this fabric is water repellent, but never 100% waterproof. In heavy or prolonged rainfall, moisture can eventually seep through over time, especially at seams, so for extra protection we recommend sealing seams with waterproof tape.

Uses

This fabric is designed for projects where protection from rain and wind is the main concern. Think:

• Raincoats and rain ponchos
• Outdoor clothing and hiking jackets
• Water repellent bags and backpacks
• Covers for bikes, buggies or furniture
• Rain trousers and overtrousers
• Festival bags and outdoor accessories
• Luggage protective covers
• Children's rainwear

Conclusion

With its sturdy structure and water repellent finish, this olive green raincoat fabric is a solid foundation for any water-resistant project. Check out our other raincoat fabrics or explore the wider range of weatherproof fabrics and fashion fabrics at Rijs Textiles.
