ABSTRACT:
A body form-fitting rainwear is provided. In the rainwear, a first waterproof layer comprises a polymer material treated with an oleophobic composition to form an air permeable polymer material. The first waterproof layer couples to a first fabric layer. The first fabric layer faces the body and couples to a first side of the first waterproof layer. The first waterproof layer and first fabric layer are formable about a human body and are constructed and arranged to accommodate one or more human appendages. The rainwear may for example form a shirt, pant, underwear, long underwear, hat, hood or one-piece body suit.
