Mens Waterproof Trench Coat With Hood
Men's Waterproof Trench Coat with Hood
This product is designed for industrial and professional environments where protection from prolonged exposure to rain, wind, and low-temperature conditions is required. The trench coat combines a waterproof membrane with a breathable inner layer and an integrated hood to maintain thermal comfort and mobility during extended outdoor operations. It is intended for use by field technicians, logistics personnel, outdoor maintenance crews, and transportation workers who require reliable weather protection without sacrificing dexterity or visibility.
Material Composition and Construction
The outer shell is constructed from a 3-layer laminated fabric consisting of a 100% polyester face treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, a hydrophilic polyurethane (PU) membrane with a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000 mm, and a tricot backing for abrasion resistance. The membrane allows moisture vapor transmission at a rate of 8,000 g/m²/24h, reducing internal condensation during physical exertion. Seams are fully taped with 20mm wide polyurethane tape to prevent water ingress at stitch points. The hood is structurally integrated into the collar, featuring a three-point adjustment system (drawcord at rear, side toggles, and brim stiffener) to maintain perimeter seal under wind loads up to 24 m/s.
Design Features for Industrial Use
The coat employs a raglan sleeve cut to increase shoulder mobility and reduce strain during repetitive reaching or lifting tasks. Underarm ventilation zippers with storm flaps provide adjustable airflow without compromising waterproof integrity when closed. Interior includes two drop-in pockets with magnetic closures and one internal security pocket with zipper for electronics or documents. Cuffs are adjustable via hook-and-loop straps with reflective tape for low-light visibility. The storm flap over the front zipper uses magnetic closures to reduce snag risk and ensure consistent sealing. All hardware is YKK® aquaguard® coated zippers and corrosion-resistant plastic components.
Performance Specifications
| Property | Value | Test Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrostatic Head | 10,000 mm | ISO 811 |
| Moisture Vapor Transmission | 8,000 g/m²/24h | ISO 11092 |
| Wind Resistance | Class 3 (EN 343) | EN 343:2019 |

Performance values are based on laboratory testing of new garments. Real-world performance may vary based on care, wear, and environmental exposure. Reapplication of DWR treatment is recommended after 20–30 wash cycles to maintain surface water beading.
Sizing and Fit Considerations
The coat is available in regular and tall sizes, ranging from S to 3XL. Chest measurements are taken 2.5cm below the armhole with the garment laid flat. Sleeve length is measured from center back neck to cuff. The design incorporates 5–8cm of ease across the chest and back to accommodate layered clothing such as fleece or softshell mid-layers. Tall sizes add 3.8cm to sleeve and torso length for users over 185cm. Users requiring extended reach or tool belt compatibility should consider sizing up one dimension to maintain range of motion.
Applications in Industrial Sectors
This trench coat is suited for environments where workers face intermittent precipitation and wind but require freedom of movement for tool handling, equipment inspection, or vehicle operation. In utility maintenance, it protects technicians during pole-top repairs or underground access chamber work where sudden weather changes are common. In logistics and warehousing, it supports outdoor loading/unloading operations in distribution centers exposed to coastal or inland climates. Transportation personnel, including rail yard inspectors and airport ground crew, benefit from its low-profile profile that does not interfere with safety harnesses or communication gear. The absence of insulating fill allows use in temperature-fluctuating climates where overheating is a risk during active work.
Care and Maintenance Guidelines
Machine wash cold (30°C) on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or chlorinated products as they degrade the PU membrane and DWR finish. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Ironing is not permitted; if necessary, use a pressing cloth and low heat (<110°C) on the outer face only. Reapply DWR spray after washing to restore surface water repellency. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the polyester face fabric. Inspect seams and zippers quarterly for signs of delamination or wear.
Customization Options
Standard color options include navy, charcoal, and high-visibility yellow (EN ISO 20471 Class 3 compliant with reflective tape placement). Custom colors are available upon request with minimum order quantities. Logo application can be performed via screen printing, heat transfer, or embroidery on the left chest, right sleeve, or hood back. Reflective piping or tape configurations can be modified to meet specific site visibility requirements. Interior labeling for asset tracking or size standardization is available as a value-added service. All customizations are subject to validation testing to ensure they do not compromise waterproof seam integrity or breathability performance.
