Womens Waterproof Windproof Coat
Women's Waterproof Windproof Coat
Engineered for industrial outdoor work, this women's waterproof windproof coat combines breathable membrane technology with wind-resistant fabric construction to maintain thermal regulation and weather protection across variable field conditions.
The three-layer laminate system uses a hydrophilic polyurethane membrane rated at 10,000 mm hydrostatic head and 8,000 g/m²/24hr moisture vapor transmission rate, bonded to a 150D nylon ripstop shell and a brushed polyester interior for abrasion resistance and comfort during extended wear.
Seams are fully taped with 20mm wide polyurethane tape applied via heat bonding to achieve IPX6-rated water ingress protection, while storm flaps over zippers and adjustable cuff closures reduce wind penetration at closure points by up to 40% compared to standard designs.

Design Features for Field Use
The coat incorporates a detachable insulated liner rated to 100g polyester fill, allowing adaptation to seasonal temperature shifts without replacing the outer shell. This modular approach reduces inventory complexity for facilities managing variable climate zones.
Articulated elbows and gusseted underarms provide 120° range of motion, verified via motion capture testing, to prevent restriction during tool handling or equipment operation. The hem features a dual-adjustment system: internal drawcord for tension and external snap tabs for storm sealing.
Reflective trim meets EN ISO 20471 Class 2 requirements for visibility in low-light conditions, using 50mm wide microprismatic tape applied to high-motion zones (shoulders, sleeves, back) to maintain 360° detectability at 300m under vehicle headlights.
Material Composition and Durability
- Outer shell: 100% nylon 6,6 ripstop with DWR finish (C6-based, PFOA-free)
- Membrane: hydrophilic polyurethane, 12µm thickness, solvent-free lamination
- Liner: 100% polyester fleece, 220gsm, anti-pill treatment
- Insulation (optional): 100% polyester filament, 100g/m², hollow-core construction
- Thread: bonded polyester, UV-stabilized, tensile strength > 8.5 cN/tex
The DWR treatment maintains 80% effectiveness after 20 wash cycles per AATCC 135, reducing surface wetting and preserving breathability in prolonged damp exposure. All materials are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified for skin contact safety.
Applications in Industrial Environments
Utility workers in power line maintenance benefit from the coat’s arc-flash resistance (when layered with certified base layers) and non-conductive hardware, reducing electrical hazard exposure during energized work in wet or windy conditions.
Transportation and logistics personnel operating in open yards or rail terminals use the coat’s wind resistance to mitigate convective heat loss during extended shifts, while the breathable membrane prevents moisture buildup from physical exertion.
Field service technicians in telecommunications or water management gain protection from driving rain and gusts during pole or hydrant access, with the coat’s cut-resistant shell (rated to Level 2 per EN 388) reducing snag hazards on rough surfaces.
Customization Options
Shell color can be specified from a palette of 12 industrial-standard shades (including high-visibility yellow, navy, and gray) to match corporate branding or site safety protocols. Custom logo placement is available via embroidery or heat transfer on the left chest, right sleeve, or back yoke.
Sizing follows ANSI/ASME B89.1.13M body measurement standards with graded increments from XS to 3XL, including tall and petite variants. Adjustable elements (cuffs, hem, hood) accommodate layering systems without compromising seal integrity.
Optional features include: removable hood with brim and adjustment system, internal radio loop with strain relief, and reinforced patch pockets rated for 5kg tool load. All modifications maintain the original waterproof and windproof performance specifications.
Quality Control and Testing
Each batch undergoes hydrostatic head testing on three random samples per 500 units, with acceptance criteria set at 9,500 mm minimum to account for material variance. Seam seal integrity is verified via dye penetrant inspection under 100kPa pressure.
Abrasion resistance is tested using Taber Abrader with CS-10 wheels under 500g load, with results documented in batch-specific reports. Colorfastness to light and washing is evaluated per AATCC Standards 16 and 61 to ensure durability in outdoor use.
Final inspection includes functional assessment of all closures, adjustment points, and reflective trim placement. Non-conforming items are segregated for root cause analysis before rework or scrap, maintaining a target AQL of 1.0 for critical defects.
