Mens Knee Length Waterproof Coat with Hood

This garment is engineered for industrial environments requiring reliable protection from precipitation and wind while maintaining mobility for extended wear. The knee-length cut provides coverage over work trousers and safety boots, reducing exposure to splashes and runoff in wet conditions. Integrated hood design ensures head and neck protection without compromising peripheral vision or compatibility with hard hats and hearing protection. Construction focuses on seamless integration of waterproofing, durability, and ergonomic fit for demanding occupational use.

Material Composition and Waterproofing System

The outer shell utilizes a 3-layer laminate construction: a 100% polyester face fabric with a minimum tensile strength of 450 N (warp) and 350 N (weft) per ISO 13937-2, bonded to a microporous polyurethane membrane with a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000 mm H₂O (JIS L 1092 Method B). This membrane provides breathability of 8,000 g/m²/24h (JIS L 1099 Method A1) to manage moisture vapor during physical exertion. Seams are sealed with 20mm wide polyurethane tape using heat-bonding equipment calibrated to 180°C ±5°C, achieving a seam leakage rate below 0.1 mL/min under 100 mm H₂O pressure (EN 20811). The lining consists of 100% polyester mesh with a weight of 80 g/m², promoting air circulation and reducing skin adhesion.

Design Features for Industrial Use

The coat features a center front zipper with a storm flap secured by magnetic closures and overlapping hook-and-loop fasteners, creating a secondary barrier against wind-driven rain. The hood is adjustable via two-point drawcords with cord locks positioned at the temples and nape, allowing for a secure fit over headwear without creating pressure points. Articulated elbows incorporate gusseted underarm panels to maintain range of motion during overhead tasks. Two lower patch pockets with horizontal zippers and drainage grommets provide secure storage for tools or personal items while preventing water accumulation. Interior includes a dedicated radio loop and pen sleeve for utility access.

Sizing and Fit Specification

Garment dimensions are graded to accommodate layering over flame-resistant or high-visibility safety apparel. Chest measurements follow ISO 8559-1:2017 standards with ease allowances of 15 cm for size M, increasing by 2 cm per size increment. Sleeve length is measured from center back neck to cuff edge, averaging 86 cm for size M with a 1.5 cm grade rule. The back length from nape to hem is 92 cm for size M, ensuring knee coverage across the size range (S-3XL). All measurements are taken on a flat table under 5 N tension per ASTM D5587. Custom length adjustments are available upon request for specific operational requirements.

Performance Validation and Testing

Waterproof integrity is verified through spray testing per ISO 811, where the garment withstands 8 hours of continuous exposure to 12.5 L/m²/hour rainfall without penetration to the inner layer. Abrasion resistance of the outer fabric exceeds 50,000 cycles on the Martindale tester (EN ISO 12947-2) before noticeable degradation. Colorfastness to light is rated at least 4 on the Blue Wool Scale (ISO 105-B02) after 40 hours of xenon arc exposure. Dimensional stability after 5 home laundering cycles (40°C, tumble dry low) shows less than 2% shrinkage in length and width. These tests are conducted in-house using calibrated equipment and documented per ISO 9001:2015 procedures.

Applications in Industrial Sectors

This coat is commonly specified in municipal water management crews working in storm drainage maintenance, where prolonged exposure to standing water and spray from high-pressure jetting equipment necessitates reliable lower-body protection. In cold storage logistics, the breathable membrane prevents condensation buildup during transitions between freezing (-25°C) and ambient zones, reducing the risk of chill from damp inner layers. Utility technicians performing overhead line inspections in rainy conditions benefit from the articulated sleeves and storm flap design, which maintain protection without restricting tool access or head movement. The garment’s compatibility with Class E hard hats and dielectric gloves makes it suitable for electrical infrastructure maintenance in wet environments.

Available in standard colors including navy, charcoal, and high-visibility yellow (EN ISO 20471 compliant upon request). Custom color matching to corporate specifications is possible for orders exceeding 50 units, subject to dye lot approval. The coat is packaged in individual polyethylene bags with desiccant packs, then packed in corrugated cartons labeled with size, quantity, and batch code for traceability. Lead time for standard configurations is typically 3-4 weeks from order confirmation, with expedited options available for critical project timelines.
