Men's Yellow Rain Coat – Direct from Source Factory

This product page details the technical specifications, material composition, and manufacturing considerations for a high-visibility men's yellow rain coat produced at our source factory. Designed for industrial procurement teams, the information below focuses on measurable engineering characteristics, material performance, and quality control processes to support informed purchasing decisions.

Material Composition and Fabric Performance

The outer shell is constructed from 100% polyester oxford fabric with a weight of 190 g/m², providing a balance between durability and flexibility. This base material is laminated with a 0.02 mm thick polyurethane (PU) coating on the interior surface, achieving a hydrostatic head rating of 5,000 mm — sufficient to resist moderate rainfall and wind-driven moisture without compromising breathability. The PU layer is applied via a solvent-free extrusion lamination process, ensuring consistent thickness and adhesion strength exceeding 3.5 N/mm as measured by ASTM D903 peel tests.

Seams are sealed using 15 mm wide thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) tape applied via hot-air welding at 280°C, creating a continuous waterproof barrier with a peel strength of 4.2 N/mm. The tape width and application temperature are calibrated to prevent delamination under repeated flexing, validated through 100-cycle flexometer testing per ISO 7854 Method B. All seam sealing is performed inline during assembly to maintain process consistency and reduce variability.

Visibility and Colorfastness Specifications

The yellow color is achieved through solution-dyed polyester yarns, where pigment is integrated into the polymer melt before extrusion. This method ensures UV stability, with colorfastness to light rated at Grade 4–5 on the Blue Wool Scale after 80 hours of Xenon arc exposure (ISO 105-B02). Surface reflectance measures 85–90% at 570 nm wavelength, meeting ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 background material requirements for high-visibility safety apparel in daytime conditions.

Color consistency is monitored using a Datacolor SpectraVision spectrophotometer with ΔE_ab tolerance ≤ 3.0 between production lots. Each batch is compared against a master standard under D65 illumination, and any deviation beyond tolerance triggers material quarantine and re-evaluation. This control minimizes visible variation across production runs, critical for applications requiring uniform appearance.

Design Features and Functional Details

The coat features a center-front zipper with a 8 mm coil nylon teeth mechanism, covered by a 50 mm wide storm flap secured with 6 mm diameter snap fasteners spaced at 80 mm intervals. The flap overlaps the zipper by 25 mm on each side to prevent water ingress through the teeth gap. Zipper pull tabs are molded from acetal copolymer for low-temperature flexibility down to -30°C.

Adjustable cuffs use 20 mm wide hook-and-loop tape with a 50 mm overlap zone, providing a closure range of 70 mm. The hood is three-panel, detachable via concealed snap fasteners at the neckline, with a semi-rigid PE foam brim (2 mm thickness) to maintain shape. Ventilation is provided by two 80 mm diameter eyelets under each arm, fitted with corrosion-resistant brass grommets and protected by inner mesh flaps to reduce wind-driven rain entry.

Quality Control and Inspection Protocol

Every coat undergoes a 100% visual inspection under 1,000 lux LED lighting for defects such as skipped stitches, uneven coating, or misaligned components. Stitch density is verified at 8–10 stitches per 25 mm on all structural seams using a calibrated thread counter. Dimensional stability is assessed post-wash: samples are laundered 5x at 40°C per ISO 6330, then measured for shrinkage; results must remain within ±3% in length and ±2% in width.

Waterproof integrity is confirmed via spray testing (AATCC 22) on 10% of each production lot, requiring no visible water penetration on the interior surface after 5 minutes of exposure at 100 mm/hour rainfall simulation. Hydrostatic retesting is conducted on sealed seam samples quarterly to monitor coating adhesion stability. All test records are retained for 36 months and available for audit upon request.

Customization Options and Manufacturing Considerations

Standard production uses the 190 g/m² polyester oxford with PU coating as described, but alternative base fabrics are available upon request, including 210 g/m² nylon taslan with PVC coating (hydrostatic head 8,000 mm) or 170 g/m² ePTFE laminate for enhanced breathability (RET < 8 m²·Pa/W). Closure systems can be adjusted to include reverse-coil zippers, magnetic snaps, or dual-slider configurations based on ergonomic or safety requirements.

Logo application is possible via screen printing, heat transfer, or reflective tape transfer on the left chest, upper back, or sleeves. Minimum printable area is 40 mm × 40 mm; maximum recommended size is 120 mm × 200 mm to avoid coating cracking. Reflective trim compliance with ANSI/ISEA 107 can be added as 50 mm wide silver or colored retroreflective bands meeting Class 2 performance.

Packaging options include individual polybags (50 µm thickness), bulk packing in corrugated cartons (12 coats per carton, 380 mm × 300 mm × 240 mm), or palletized shipping with corner bracing and stretch wrap. Lead time for standard orders is 25–30 days from approved sample confirmation; custom material or coating changes may extend this by 7–10 days. Samples are provided with freight collect or prepaid, depending on incoterms.
