Can you wear a wool coat in rain?

Wool coats can be worn in the rain. Wool doesn't absorb water quickly and resists moisture well. It is also durable and good at holding in heat.

The characteristics of a wool's fiber determine its quality. Fiber diameter is the most significant factor. Wool has a variety of uses besides clothing, such as carpeting, blankets and insulation. Wool can also be blended with kevlar to make water-resistant body armor. The most common wool color is a creamy white, although other colors such as brown and black are seen as well. As of 2005, Australia was the largest producer of wool in the world.
