Väliriieteks

Väliriieteks is an Estonian term that translates to "outerwear" or "clothes for outdoors" in English. It encompasses a broad category of garments designed to be worn as the outermost layer of clothing, providing protection against various environmental conditions such as cold, wind, rain, and snow.

The specific types of väliriieteks can vary greatly depending on the season and the intended activity. In colder months, this category includes items like winter coats, parkas, ski jackets, and insulated vests. For milder or wet weather, it might involve raincoats, windbreakers, waterproof trousers, and lighter jackets. The materials used in väliriieteks are often chosen for their durability, insulation properties, and resistance to the elements. Common materials include down, synthetic fills, fleece, nylon, polyester, and various waterproof or water-resistant membranes.

Beyond purely functional garments, väliriieteks can also include more fashion-oriented pieces such as trench coats, denim jackets, and stylish overcoats, which still serve the purpose of an outer layer but prioritize aesthetic appeal alongside protection. The selection of väliriieteks is typically a practical consideration, balancing the need for comfort and protection with the demands of outdoor activities and personal style.
