Tips for choosing raincoats, must be comfortable and tough

Everything must be well prepared for trips to the wild and raincoats are one of the important equipment that must be prepared during the rainy season. Raincoats are highly recommended because they are easy to carry everywhere compared to umbrellas, but must be properly chosen.

We will explore the bushes and touch the twigs in the wild. Raincoats must be comfortable to wear, not easy to leak and have a quality lightweight material. For this reason, here are simple tips for choosing a good raincoat to use.

Dlium Tips for choosing raincoats, must be comfortable and tough

Avoid ponchos and plastic materials

This model raincoat has a robe-like shape and is not recommended. Besides being unable to wrap our bodies tightly, this type of raincoat is also prone to getting caught in bushes and tree branches. Use a raincoat consisting of two parts, the jacket for the top and pants for the bottom.

Also avoid using raincoats made from plastic and parachutes. Choose a raincoat that uses polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material which is more waterproof than ordinary raincoats made of plastic or parachutes.

Forging connection

Don't choose a raincoat where the parts are sewn. This method allows water to enter through the pores formed due to the sewing process. Choose a hot pressed raincoat to reduce the occurrence of this.

Bright colors and scotlight

Heavy rain comes and we will continue the adventure in very limited visibility. It is recommended to use a raincoat with bright colors such as red, yellow or orange. We will be easily seen by others if we need help.

Scotlight has the ability to reflect light when illuminated by lights. Choose a raincoat that has this feature in one part and we will still be seen by others, even in the dark of the night.

Evolution theory goes beyond

OPINION - As a Wallacean and Darwinian, I have always viewed life from the perspective of evolutionism. I see the world of plants and animals always using evolutionary theories. How a species develops functional organs, forms morphology, adapts to ecosystems and so on as a natural laws. This perspective ultimately forms my framework for thinking about various things, including the way I see myself, everyday problems and the way I think about big things such as economics, geopolitics, war and so on using an evolutionary perspective. Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck are three great figures who really inspired me. They are well known as pioneers of evolutionary theories. They start from small things in the sub-subject of biology, although they also discuss geology and so on. Wallace focused on species adaptation and Darwin on sexual selection. Both developed evolutionary thinking using observational methods. Lamarck focused on structural morphology using l
