Here are 3 rainy day must-haves to help you stay dry in the new normal

Imagine going out for an important errand, but it begins to rain and you need to keep your mask and face shield dry.

To help Kapuso viewers prepare for the "new normal" rainy season, "Unang Hirit" featured different kinds of casual outerwear that were designed with detachable face shields.

An expert also explained how these "rainy day essentials" can provide additional protection from COVID-19 as well as other diseases you might get from the rain.

1. Jacket with face shield

This jacket is made from a water-repellent microfiber material that can shield you and your clothes from the rain.

It also comes with a special hood with a detachable plastic face shield, making it easier to wash.

2. Protective outerwear with face shield

There are also fashionable coats you can buy with the same easy-to-wash, hood-and-face-shield combo.

Apparel and clothing store K-chat, for example, sells protective outerwear that combine safety with style.

3. Coverall PPE with face shield

This version of the detachable face shield jacket covers a person all the way down to the legs, almost like a PPE.

This can be helpful for employees who want to double up the protection everyday, whether it's from COVID-19 or the rain. —Margaret Claire Layug/JCB, GMA News
