OEM Men's 3/4 Length Raincoat with Hood

Material Composition and Performance

The base fabric is typically a 2-layer laminated system consisting of a 100% polyester outer shell bonded to a polyurethane (PU) membrane. Outer shell denier ranges from 150D to 300D depending on abrasion resistance requirements, with a hydrostatic head rating of minimum 5,000 mm for rain protection.

The PU membrane provides waterproofing while maintaining moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) between 2,000–5,000 g/m²/24h, balanced against the need for durability in industrial environments. Seam sealing uses thermoplastic polyurethane tape applied via heat bonding to achieve waterproof integrity at stitch lines.

Lining options include 100% polyester mesh (50 g/m²) for ventilation in temperate climates or brushed tricot (120 g/m²) for added thermal comfort in cooler conditions. All materials comply with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 for harmful substance restrictions, verifiable upon request.

Design Geometry and Functional Features

The 3/4 length cut terminates approximately 10–15 cm above the knee, balancing coverage with mobility for tasks requiring frequent bending or climbing. Sleeve length follows standard industrial sizing charts with a 55–60 cm underarm-to-cuff measurement for size M, graded proportionally across sizes.

The hood features a three-panel construction with a curved brim extending 5–7 cm beyond the forehead to deflect rain. Volume adjustment is via dual cordlocks at the rear and a single adjustable tab at the chin, allowing secure fit over hard hats or helmets when required.

Front closure uses a coil zipper with storm flap secured by hidden snap fasteners spaced at 10 cm intervals. The storm flap extends 25 mm beyond the zipper teeth on each side to prevent water ingress. Cuffs are adjustable via hook-and-loop tabs with 40 mm overlap for sealing against wrists or gloves.

Customization Options for OEM Integration

OEM buyers can specify variations in fabric color, trim detailing, and functional add-ons to align with corporate branding or operational needs. Standard color options include navy, black, olive, and gray, with custom Pantone matching available for orders exceeding 500 units.

Reflective tape compliant with EN ISO 20471 Class 2 can be applied to sleeves, shoulders, and back in 50 mm width. Logo application methods include screen printing, heat transfer, or embroidery on the left chest or upper back, with minimum clear space requirements provided in artwork guidelines.

Additional options include internal document pockets (180 x 100 mm), two-way front zippers for ventilation control, and reinforced elbow patches using 500D Cordura® nylon for high-wear environments. All customizations are subject to minimum order quantities and tooling lead times.

Quality Control and Manufacturing Considerations

Production follows ISO 9001-aligned processes with in-line inspections at cutting, sewing, and sealing stages. Seam strength is tested per ASTM D5034 with a minimum requirement of 150 N for load-bearing seams. Waterproof integrity is verified via spray testing (AATCC 35) and hydrostatic pressure testing on finished garments.

Dimensional stability is assessed after five wash cycles at 40°C per ISO 6330, with maximum allowable shrinkage of 3% in length and 2% in width. Colorfastness to light (ISO 105-B02) and washing (ISO 105-C06) is maintained at grade 4 or higher to prevent fading during extended use.

Each batch undergoes final audit including seam tape adhesion check, zipper functionality (100 cycles), and hood adjustment verification. Non-conforming items are segregated and reworked or scrapped based on defect severity classification.

Applications in Industrial and Operational Environments

This raincoat design suits environments where workers require reliable rain protection without compromising mobility or safety compliance. Common applications include utility maintenance, municipal services, logistics handling, and outdoor inspection teams operating in variable weather conditions.

The 3/4 length provides sufficient coverage for seated tasks in vehicles or equipment cabs while reducing entanglement risk near rotating machinery compared to full-length garments. Hood compatibility with hard hats and hearing protection makes it suitable for construction sites and roadwork crews.

In cold chain logistics or refrigerated warehousing, the garment can be layered over insulated liners without restricting movement. The breathable membrane prevents internal condensation buildup during physical exertion, unlike non-breathable PVC alternatives that retain moisture.

Comparison of Configuration Options

Ordering and Sampling Procedure

To initiate an OEM quotation, buyers should provide: required sizes and quantities, preferred fabric color (Pantone or standard), logo artwork in vector format, and any specific functional requirements such as reflective tape placement or pocket configuration.

Sample development typically takes 7–10 business days after artwork approval and material confirmation. Sample charges are credited toward the first production order upon meeting minimum quantity thresholds. Bulk production lead times range from 20–35 days depending on order complexity and factory capacity.

Packaging options include individual polybagging with carton packing or reusable garment bags for distributed logistics. Export packaging adheres to ISTA 2A standards for vibration and drop resistance. All shipments include a material safety data sheet (MSDS) and care labeling in multiple languages as required.
