Full Length Men's Raincoat with Hood

A full-length raincoat with an integrated hood is engineered for sustained protection in prolonged wet environments, combining extended coverage with functional head coverage to maintain thermal regulation and mobility in industrial, utility, and field operations.

Material Composition and Waterproofing Performance

The outer shell utilizes a 3-layer laminated fabric system: a 100% polyester face yarn with 150D denier for abrasion resistance, bonded to a microporous PTFE membrane with 20,000 mm hydrostatic head rating and 15,000 g/m²/24h moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), sealed with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) tape on all seams. This construction ensures complete waterproofing under continuous rainfall while allowing sweat vapor escape to prevent internal condensation buildup during extended wear.

Hood Design and Functional Integration

The hood is constructed from the same 3-layer laminate as the shell, featuring a three-point adjustment system: rear drawcord with cord locks for circumferential tightness, side tabs for fore-aft positioning, and a stiffened brim made from injection-molded polypropylene to maintain shape and deflect rain away from the face without obstructing peripheral vision. The hood stows into a concealed collar zip compartment when not in use, reducing bulk and preventing snag hazards in confined workspaces.

Cut, Length, and Ergonomic Considerations

The coat extends to mid-calf (approximately 115–125 cm from nape to hem, adjustable via internal snap tabs) to protect the upper legs and groin area from splash and wind-driven rain, critical in utility maintenance, irrigation, and outdoor inspection roles. Raglan sleeves increase shoulder mobility by 22% compared to set-in designs, while articulated elbows and gusseted underarms prevent binding during overhead reaching or tool use. Internal rib-knit cuffs with thumb loops seal against water ingress at the wrists without restricting glove compatibility.

Closure System and Environmental Sealing

The primary closure is a YKK® VISLON® nylon coil zipper with storm flap overlap, protected by a dual-layer magnetic snap closure at the neck and a secondary inner storm flap with hook-and-loop fastening to eliminate wind-driven water penetration. All zipper pulls are oversized and textured for operation with gloved hands, and the flap edges are sealed with ultrasonically welded TPU strips to prevent capillary leakage along stitch lines.

Pocket Configuration and Utility Features

Two angled chest pockets with water-resistant zippers and internal mesh lining provide quick access to radios or tablets, while two lower welt pockets with flap covers and drainage grommets accommodate tools or gloves without retaining water. An internal napoleon chest pocket with zip closure secures documents or electronics, and a hidden interior drop pocket with elasticated top holds a safety harness or fall arrest lanyard when working at height.

Thermal Layering Compatibility

The coat is designed as a shell layer, accommodating insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets via 10 cm of internal clearance at the chest and back, measured under ASTM F739 standard conditions. Internal snap-in liner loops allow attachment of optional quilted thermal liners (sold separately) rated for -10°C to 5°C ambient conditions, transforming the system into a three-layer cold-weather ensemble without compromising waterproof integrity.

Durability and Abrasion Resistance

The polyester face fabric achieves 40,000 cycles on the Martindale abrasion tester (EN ISO 12947-2), exceeding EN 343 Class 3 requirements for rainwear in high-wear environments. Reinforcement patches of 600D nylon oxford are applied to high-stress zones: shoulders, elbows, seat, and cuffs, extending service life in applications involving frequent contact with rough surfaces, ladders, or equipment housings.

Visibility and Safety Enhancements

Optional retroreflective tape compliant with ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Class 2 can be heat-sealed to the sleeves, shoulders, and back in 50 mm widths, providing 360-degree visibility at 300 meters under low-beam headlight conditions. The tape is laminated with the same TPU adhesive used for seam sealing, ensuring durability through 50+ industrial wash cycles without delamination or cracking.

Sizing, Fit, and Customization Logic

Available in standard chest sizes from 90 cm to 140 cm in 5 cm increments, with corresponding sleeve lengths and coat heights graded using ISO 8559-1 anthropometric data for male industrial workers. Custom length adjustments (±5 cm), hood depth modifications, and pocket repositioning are available upon request for OEM orders exceeding 50 units, with fit validation conducted via 3D body scanning and wear trial feedback from target user groups.

Quality Control and Testing Protocol

Each unit undergoes hydrostatic head testing at 20,000 mm water column pressure (ISO 811), spray testing per ISO 9865 (4-jet nozzle, 20 L/min for 5 minutes), and MVTR measurement via ASTM E96 desiccant method. Seam strength is validated via grab test (ASTM D5034) with minimum 250 N resistance, and colorfastness to light and washing is assessed per ISO 105-B02 and ISO 105-C06. Final inspection includes functional checks of all zippers, snaps, and adjustments under simulated glove use.

Packaging and Logistics

Each raincoat is folded using a standardized flat-fold method to minimize creasing, placed in a 0.08 mm polyethylene bag with silica gel desiccant, then packed into a 5-layer corrugated carton (150 g/m²) with corner protectors and edge seals. Cartons are unitized on heat-treated pallets (ISPM 15 compliant) with stretch film wrapping and corner boards for containerized export, reducing damage risk during transoceanic shipment to under 0.5% incidence based on historical logistics data.
