Women's Lightweight Raincoat with Hood

This women's lightweight raincoat is engineered for reliable protection against precipitation while maintaining minimal weight and packability. The design prioritizes functional performance over decorative elements, using technical fabrics and construction methods suited for industrial, outdoor, and utility applications where weather resistance and mobility are critical.

The garment utilizes a 2.5-layer nylon ripstop fabric with a hydrophilic polyurethane coating, providing a hydrostatic head rating of 5,000 mm and moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of 8,000 g/m²/24h. This balance ensures effective water resistance while allowing sufficient breathability to reduce internal condensation during active use.

Seams are fully taped using 15mm wide heat-activated polyurethane tape applied to all stitched joints, eliminating potential leakage points. The tape is bonded under controlled temperature and pressure conditions to ensure adhesion strength exceeds 5 N/mm, meeting standard requirements for durable waterproof construction.

The hood features a three-panel adjustable design with a laminated visor and elasticized face opening. It retains shape when deployed and stows neatly into the collar when not in use. Adjustment is achieved via two cord locks with 3mm diameter polyester cord, allowing single-handed operation while wearing gloves.

Zipper protection includes a storm flap with hook-and-loop closure over the primary coil zipper, reducing wind-driven water ingress. The zipper itself is a YKK® Vislon® coil type with hydrophobic treatment, rated for 5,000 cycles without failure. Zipper pull tabs are molded thermoplastic for durability and ease of use with gloved hands.

Ventilation is provided through two underarm eyelets with brass grommets, each 6mm in diameter, positioned to allow airflow without compromising water resistance. These are reinforced with bar-tack stitching to prevent tearing under stress.

Cuffs are adjustable via hook-and-loop tabs, allowing sealing over gloves or sleeves. The adjustment range accommodates wrist circumferences from 160mm to 240mm. Hem adjustment uses a single drawcord with cord lock, enabling tightening to prevent water entry at the waist while maintaining mobility.

Pocket configuration includes two hand-warmer pockets with zippered closures and storm flaps, positioned above the hip belt line to remain accessible when wearing a harness or pack. Interior features a single mesh pocket for small item storage, ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.

Technical Specifications

The raincoat is designed for layering compatibility, with a relaxed fit that accommodates mid-layers without restricting movement. Chest circumference for size M is 108cm, with 4cm grading between sizes. Back length measures 72cm from neck to hem, providing adequate coverage while seated or bent.

Material composition is 100% nylon face fabric with polyurethane laminate. No PFAS-based DWR treatments are used; instead, the hydrophilic coating relies on chemical absorption and diffusion for moisture management, ensuring compliance with evolving environmental regulations.

Care instructions recommend machine washing at 30°C with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble drying on low heat reactivates the coating’s performance. Ironing is not recommended due to heat sensitivity of the laminate layer.

Typical applications include field service operations, utility work, light construction, agricultural inspection, and emergency response scenarios where portable rain protection is required. The low weight and small packed size make it suitable for inclusion in vehicle kits, tool bags, or personal carry systems.

Quality control involves visual inspection for coating uniformity, seam integrity, and component alignment. Each unit undergoes a spray test per AATCC 35 to verify surface water resistance and a hydrostatic head test on critical zones. Dimensional stability is assessed after five wash cycles to ensure minimal shrinkage (<3%).

Customization options are available for OEM clients, including adjustable hood volume, alternative pocket configurations, and integration of reflective trims for low-visibility environments. Logo application via screen printing or heat transfer can be accommodated on the left chest or upper back.

Lead time for standard orders is typically 3–4 weeks from approved artwork and size breakdown. Sample development takes 7–10 days. Export packaging uses recycled polybags with carton dimensions optimized for volumetric efficiency, reducing shipping costs.
