Purple Waterproof Raincoat For Women
Purple Waterproof Raincoat for Women
This raincoat is designed for women requiring reliable protection against prolonged exposure to rain and wind in industrial, field, or outdoor work environments. It combines a durable waterproof membrane with a tailored fit to maintain mobility while preventing water ingress.
Material Construction and Waterproofing System
The outer layer consists of a 100% polyester plain weave with a thread count of 150T, providing abrasion resistance and dimensional stability. A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) laminate is bonded to the interior surface, creating a continuous barrier with a hydrostatic head rating of 8,000 mm, verified under ISO 811 test conditions.
Seams are sealed using ultrasonic welding rather than traditional tape, eliminating potential delamination points and ensuring long-term integrity under flexing and temperature cycling. The TPU coating maintains flexibility down to -20°C, preventing brittleness in cold climates.
Design Features for Functional Use
The raincoat features a two-way front zipper with a storm flap secured by hook-and-loop closures, reducing wind-driven water penetration at the closure. Adjustable cuffs with internal elastic and external snap tabs allow users to seal the wrists over gloves or adjust for ventilation.
A three-panel hood with adjustable drawcords and a laminated brim provides full head coverage without obstructing peripheral vision. The hood stows into a zippered collar compartment when not in use, maintaining a low profile for layering under hard hats or helmets.
Performance Characteristics
| Property | Value | Test Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrostatic Head | 8,000 mm | ISO 811 |
| Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) | 5,000 g/m²/24h | ASTM E96 |
| Tear Strength (Trapezoid) | 25 N (warp), 22 N (weft) | ASTM D5587 |
| Colorfastness to Light | Grade 4 (after 20 hrs UV) | ISO 105-B02 |
| Weight (Size M) | 320 g | Internal |
The moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of 5,000 g/m²/24h allows for limited breathability during moderate activity, reducing internal condensation buildup compared to non-breathable alternatives. This balance is critical for extended wear in variable conditions.
Sizing and Fit Considerations
Available in sizes XS through 3XL, the pattern incorporates a 7 cm ease at the chest and 9 cm at the hip to accommodate layered clothing such as fleece or insulated jackets. Sleeve length is graded proportionally with torso length to prevent wrist exposure when reaching overhead.
The back length measures 82 cm in size M, with a 2 cm gradient between sizes to ensure adequate coverage when seated or bending. All dimensions are graded using ISO 8559-1 anthropometric data for female workers in industrial sectors.
Quality Control and Consistency
Each batch undergoes hydrostatic head testing on three random specimens per 1,000 units produced. Seam integrity is verified via dynamometer testing at 5 N/cm peel strength, with a rejection threshold below 4 N/cm. Color consistency is monitored using a spectrophotometer with ΔE < 2.0 against the Pantone 2582 C reference.
Fabric roll width is 150 cm, and cutting efficiency is optimized through computerized nesting to minimize waste. Final inspection includes functional testing of zippers, snaps, and drawcords under simulated field conditions.
Applications in Industrial and Outdoor Work
This raincoat is suited for utility workers conducting outdoor inspections in wet conditions, where maintaining dexterity and visibility is essential. The non-reflective purple finish reduces glare in sunny intervals while remaining distinguishable in low-visibility environments compared to neutral tones.
In agricultural settings, the smooth TPU surface resists adhesion of mud and organic debris, allowing for quick cleaning with low-pressure rinsing. The absence of absorbent liners prevents moisture retention that could lead to mold or odor during storage.
Customization Options
Alternative colors are available upon request, including high-visibility yellow or orange with matching TPU coatings. Reflective tape can be applied to the shoulders, sleeves, and back in compliance with EN ISO 20471 standards for enhanced conspicuity.
Logo placement is possible via heat transfer or screen printing on the left chest or upper back, with ink formulations tested for adhesion to TPU surfaces. Custom pocket configurations, such as internal zippered compartments or radio loops, can be engineered based on workflow requirements.
Adjustments to sleeve length, hood depth, or vent placement are feasible for OEM orders exceeding 500 units, with pattern modifications validated through wear trials.
Packaging and Shipping
Each raincoat is folded using a standardized method to minimize creasing and packed in individual polyethylene bags with desiccant packs to control humidity during transit. Master cartons hold 20 units, with dimensions optimized for palletization and reduced volumetric weight.
Cartons are marked with QR codes linking to batch-specific test reports, including hydrostatic head results and seam strength data. Export packaging complies with ISPM 15 standards for wooden pallets when required.
