Mens waterproof jacket: your buying guide
What should you be looking for when purchasing a waterproof jacket for your male workers?
First and foremost, you need to make sure that it isn’t going to let water in in the normal course of their work, no matter how heavy the rainfall, or the length of time the wearer is exposed to it for.
The waterproofness rating of any waterproof jacket will give a guide to its robustness. Other features to look for are:
- Taped or HF (high-frequency) welded seams
- Storm flaps to cover zip fastenings
- Easy access hood with a drawstring, stud or Velcro fastening
- Elasticated and/or adjustable hem and cuffs
These will all help to stop water ingress, keeping your workers dry and warm.
Mens waterproof jacket: Waterproofness ratings
The advertised waterproofness rating of any mens waterproof jacket will depend on whether it was tested against the British or European Standard.
Garments tested according to the British Standard are given a rating in millimetres, which equates to how much water they can withstand. A general guide to these ratings may be seen in the table below:
Rating in mm | Category | Weather suitability |
0 - 1499 mm | Water resistant / Showerproof | Very light rain |
1500 - 4999 mm | Waterproof | Light to average rain |
5000 - 9999 mm | Very waterproof | Moderate to heavy rain |
10,000+ mm | Highly waterproof | Heavy rain |
Under the European Standard EN343, workwear is scored from 1 to 3 (3 being the highest) in two areas: the ability to protect against rain, fog and humidity; and breathability in those conditions.
The resulting rating is displayed on the CE label inside the garment, and looks like this:
Mens waterproof jacket: additional features
Depending on the demands of the wearer’s role, you might also want to consider one or more of the following additional features:
- Thermal insulation
- Enhanced breathability
- Flexible fabric / built-in stretch
- Pockets
- Comfort lining
- Lightweighting
