Choosing The Right Waterproof Jackets
Consider these essential factors when selecting waterproof workwear:
Waterproof rating: Look for sealed seams and quality waterproof fabrics like 300D Oxford weave for durability. Consider breathability to prevent condensation build-up during physical work.
Visibility requirements: Select Class 3 hi-vis jackets for roadside work or high-risk environments, with contrasting colours and reflective tape meeting EN ISO 20471 standards.
Insulation needs: Choose between lightweight rain shells for mild conditions, padded jackets for cold weather, or versatile 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 systems with zip-out liners for year-round adaptability.
Specialist protection: If working near heat, flames or electrical hazards, opt for Bizflame, Modaflame or multi-norm jackets offering certified flame resistance alongside waterproof protection.
Fit and comfort: Ensure adequate room for layering underneath, adjustable cuffs and hems for weather sealing, and practical features like multiple pockets, storm flaps and hood storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between waterproof and water-resistant jackets?
Waterproof jackets provide complete protection against sustained rain with sealed seams and impermeable fabrics, whilst water-resistant jackets only repel light moisture. For professional outdoor work, always choose properly waterproof garments with taped seams for reliable all-day protection.
Can I wear hi-vis waterproof jackets over other clothing?
Yes, hi-vis waterproof jackets are designed to be worn as outer layers whilst maintaining visibility standards. Ensure the jacket is sized appropriately to fit over work clothing and mid-layers, and that reflective tape and background colour remain fully visible and unobstructed.
How should I care for my waterproof jacket?
Follow manufacturer care labels carefully. Most waterproof jackets can be machine washed on gentle cycles with specialist technical wash products. Avoid fabric softeners which damage waterproof coatings. Tumble dry on low heat or re-proof periodically to maintain water-repellent performance.
