Mens Yellow Rain Slicker – Source Factory Direct

This product page details the specifications, materials, and manufacturing considerations for men's yellow rain slickers sourced directly from industrial manufacturers. It is intended for procurement engineers, OEM buyers, and distributors evaluating functional rainwear for work environments requiring visibility, weather protection, and durability.

Material Construction and Performance

The primary shell fabric is a 100% polyester plain weave with a weight of 180 g/m², coated on the interior with a 0.15 mm thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) layer. This combination provides a hydrostatic head rating of 5,000 mm, resisting moderate to heavy rain without leakage under sustained exposure. The TPU coating remains flexible down to -20°C, preventing cracking in cold conditions.

Seams are sealed using 15 mm wide heat-activated TPU tape applied via ultrasonic welding, ensuring joint integrity matches the fabric’s water resistance. Stitch density is 8 stitches per inch with polyester core-spun thread, selected for UV stability and tensile strength retention after 500 hours of xenon arc exposure.

Visibility and Compliance Features

The yellow color (Pantone 109 C) meets Class E requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 for background material when combined with compliant retro-reflective tape. Standard configuration includes 50 mm wide silver retro-reflective strips on the torso, sleeves, and hem, positioned to provide 360° visibility under low-light conditions as verified by photometric testing per EN ISO 20471.

The fluorescent pigment in the yellow dye is formulated to retain chromaticity coordinates within Class E limits after 40 hours of accelerated UV exposure (ISO 105-B02), ensuring sustained conspicuity in outdoor work zones such as roadside maintenance, utility work, and construction sites.

Design and Functional Elements

The slicker features a storm flap with hidden snap closures over a YKK® #5 coil zipper, both rated for 10,000 cycles without failure. The hood is three-piece with adjustable drawcords and a laminated brim to shed water away from the face. Underarm vents consist of 10 cm zippered openings with storm flaps to manage microclimate during active use.

Cuffs are adjustable via snap tabs, and the waist includes an internal drawcord accessible through side openings. The garment length is 86 cm for size M, with a center back taper to prevent pooling when seated. All hardware is nickel-plated brass or nylon to resist corrosion in marine or industrial atmospheres.

Sizing and Customization Options

Standard sizes range from S to 3XL, graded using ISO 8559-1 anthropometric data for male workers aged 18–65. Custom sizing is available upon receipt of detailed measurement charts or fit samples. Minimum order quantity for modified patterns is 300 units per size break.

Customization options include alternative TPU coating thicknesses (0.10–0.20 mm), retro-reflective tape width (25–100 mm), hood storage systems (stow-away or fixed), and pocket configurations (flap, zipper, or open). Color matching to custom Pantone shades is possible with lab-dipped approval.

Quality Control and Testing

Each batch undergoes ASTM D751 hydrostatic head testing on three random specimens per 1,000 units, with acceptance criteria of ≥4,500 mm. Seam strength is verified via ASTM D1683 trapezoidal tear testing, requiring minimum 15 N warp and 12 N fill. Colorfastness to light and washing is assessed per AATCC standards, with delta E < 5 after 20 cycles.

Final inspection includes 100% visual checks for stitching defects, coating uniformity, and tape alignment. Functional testing includes zipper operation, hood fit, and vent accessibility. Non-conforming items are segregated and documented per ISO 9001:2015 corrective action procedures.

Packaging and Logistics

Each slicker is folded to 30×40 cm and placed in a 50 µm polyethylene bag with desiccant sachet. Standard pack configuration is 10 units per carton (40×30×25 mm), gross weight approximately 8.5 kg. Cartons are marked with barcoded labels containing SKU, size, quantity, and country of origin.

For export shipments, cartons are stacked on ISPM-15 compliant pallets and stretch-wrapped with 80 µm film. Corner boards and top frames are used for loads exceeding 1.2 m height. All documentation includes commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin upon request.

Applications in Industrial Environments

This rain slicker is specified for personnel in traffic control, railway maintenance, and airport ground operations where high visibility and rain protection are concurrent hazards. The breathable vent system reduces heat stress during prolonged wear in temperatures between 5°C and 25°C, making it suitable for temperate climate seasons.

In utility work involving overhead lines or pipelines, the non-conductive polyester shell and TPU coating provide incidental electrical isolation (though not rated as PPE for arc flash). The smooth outer surface resists snagging on brush or equipment, and the tapered hem prevents entanglement in moving parts.
