Unitika has developed a raincoat using an ultrathin waterproof material “Celtech.” The 0.15mm thick waterproof material is made of light materials in which fine fibres having a thickness of one-sixth of human hair are used, and films that lets wetness go and stops rain leak into the inside of the coat. The 170-gram coat lighter than cell phones is foldable to sizes of collapsible umbrellas.
