Abstract: An air vent for an article of rainwear is provided wherein the article has at least a planar surface having an aperture therein. The air vent comprises a member which is provided with a rearwardly extending projection adapted to space the air vent from the wearer of the rainwear to permit the flow of air therethrough. A through opening is provided in the member and a forwardly projecting cover is similarly provided on the other side of the member which covers the opening to prevent the entry of rain therein. A peripheral flange on the member is adapted to engage the edges of the article adjacent the aperture to position the air vent in the aperture and to connect the same to the article of apparel.
