Rainwear for work

Rainwear for work protects against rain and wind during outdoor tasks. The range includes high-visibility rainwear as well as rainwear without high-visibility certification, such as black rain suits for industrial and construction use.

High-visibility rainwear is used in environments where visibility is important. Non-high-visibility rainwear is suitable for company workwear or occasional use. Entry-level rainwear is often made from PVC material, which is more rigid and plastic-like. Higher quality rainwear uses PU fabric, which is softer, more flexible and more resistant to tearing and abrasion.

The category includes rain jackets, long rain coats and rain trousers. Long rain coats are becoming more popular because they protect the thighs and reduce the need for separate rain trousers.

Applications: outdoor work, installation work, maintenance, service work, warehouse work.

Industries: construction sites, industry, logistics centres, infrastructure and maintenance environments, energy sector.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions: Rainwear for work

Our Rainwear for work range provides waterproof workwear for professionals who face constant rain, spray and mud. The category covers Sadetakit (rain jackets), Sadehousut (rain trousers) and complete Sadeasut (rain suits). You can choose flexible PU rainwear for active tasks or rugged PVC options for heavy-duty use. The selection supports safety, durability and day-long comfort across demanding sites.

What products does the Rainwear for work category include?

This category covers waterproof workwear designed for professional use, including rain jackets, rain trousers and complete rain suits. You will find options from lightweight PU rainwear to durable PVC sets, plus selected long coats for extended coverage.

Which materials are best for daily industrial use?

PU-coated fabrics are flexible, quiet and comfortable for frequent movement. PVC is very robust and resists abrasion and oils, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. Some styles combine polyester base fabric with PU or PVC coatings to balance durability with comfort.

How waterproof are these garments?

All items are designed to be fully waterproof with welded or taped seams. Typical waterproof ratings exceed 8,000–10,000 mm. Storm flaps, adjustable cuffs and high collars help prevent water ingress during continuous rain and pressure wash splash.

Do you offer hi-vis rainwear that meets standards?

Yes, we offer hi-vis rainwear that meets EN ISO 20471 classes. Select garments by class to match site rules. Hi-vis rain jackets and trousers can be combined to reach higher visibility classes when worn together.

What size should I choose over insulating layers?

Select your normal workwear size for use over base and mid layers. If you plan to wear a thick winter jacket underneath, consider one size up to maintain mobility. Check each product’s fit notes for over-garment sizing guidance.

Are the garments breathable?

Breathability varies by material. PU rainwear typically offers better comfort and flexibility, while some models include ventilation eyelets or back yokes. For high-exertion tasks, choose lighter PU-coated styles or designs with venting features.

Can I mix different brands of jackets and trousers?

Yes, rain jackets and trousers can be mixed across brands as long as the size and waist height align. For hi-vis compliance, ensure both pieces meet the required class either individually or as a set according to the site policy.

How should I care for and clean rainwear?

Rinse off mud and chemicals after use. Wash on a gentle cycle without fabric softeners. Avoid high heat and never tumble-dry PVC. Air-dry in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect seams and reflective tapes.

What if the garment wets out or feels sticky?

Wetting out often indicates contamination by oils or detergents. Rinse thoroughly and wash according to instructions. Stickiness in PVC can result from heat exposure; store garments cool and dry, and avoid prolonged compression.

Are long coats practical for site work?

Long raincoats provide extra coverage for stationary tasks and supervision roles. For climbing, kneeling or vehicle entry, a hip-length jacket with rain trousers usually offers better mobility and safety.

Which closures and adjustments improve weather protection?

Look for double storm flaps, YKK or protected zippers, adjustable hems, elastic braces on trousers and snug cuffs. A well-fitted hood with a stiffened peak maintains visibility while directing rain away from the face.

What makes rainwear suitable for industrial washing or shared use?

Industry-ready models use reinforced seams, robust coatings and easy-clean surfaces. Size markings, name labels and hanging loops support fleet management. Check product pages for washing symbols and recommended cycle temperatures.

Use cases

Installation work, maintenance, service tasks, warehouse work, welding supervision, shutdowns and turnarounds.
