About this product
During the long rains in Dar es Salaam the dangerous part is not always the water. It is that visibility collapses for drivers at the same moment that pedestrians, riders and outdoor workers are on the road in dark clothing. This raincoat treats both problems as the same problem.
The waterproofing is straightforward: durable waterproof fabric, a full-length cut for genuine body coverage, an adjustable hood and adjustable cuffs. Those two adjustments do more than people expect – an untightened hood funnels water down your neck, and loose cuffs let it run up your forearms when you raise your hands.
The part that sets it apart is the reflective strips across the chest, the arms and the back. Under headlights they return light from every direction, so a driver picks you out at a distance rather than at the last moment. For anyone walking, riding a bicycle or boda, working on a site, directing traffic or delivering in the rain, that is not a cosmetic feature.
It is light and breathable enough to wear through a working day rather than being abandoned after twenty minutes, and it comes in a dark finish and a high-visibility version. Tell us which you want and we will confirm what is on the shelf in Dar es Salaam.
