With al these new generation PU raincoats, there is a chance a new generation of people who develop a fetish for rainwear.
PVC is indeed bad for nature, and can also be bad for the wearer as it is contains some toxic additives (phthalates/lead/cadnium/etc).
PU is more friendly for nature and wearer, and very similar to the untrained eye.
What i dislike is that they often call this rainwear "rubberized", while its just PU being used and not rubber. But I guess rubber has its own problems for rainwear as it cannot handle the sun well and might dry out of time (flaking, cracking).
