Question

On a rainy day, the raincoat and the umbrella have been necessary for people to protect themselves from the rain for decades, probably even centuries. However, Chinese designers are trying to challenge a new product called an umbrella raincoat.

As the name suggests, this wonderful invention combines the raincoat and the umbrella. First, it looks kind of strange, which is the only disadvantage listed by sellers on Chinese Websites. They actually describe it a little differently---"You will get a 100% rate of second look"--- you actually know what it means.

Like the umbrella, it only protects your upper(上面的) body from the rain, with the lower part being almost completely exposed(暴露). Besides, it frees up both your hands, which is obviously the main advantage of it. But isn't the classic raincoat just better? I hear you asking. Well, it is not if you want to show off your clothes while still enjoying some protection from the rain. Though those clear raincoats become foggy (模糊的) in the rain, making it hard for passers-by to look at your fancy dresses, the umbrella raincoats still have a clear view. Other advantages include a lightweight, foldable design and two belts that keep it from being blown away by strong winds.

The umbrella raincoat comes in all kinds of sizes and colors, and as the Chinese online stores show, it will soon take the place of the traditional umbrella, and go into the houses of hundreds of millions of people. I think such a kind of raincoat will play a key role in peoples everyday life in the future.
