Flexible waterproof clothing
Thanks to new developments in PPE workwear, the days of stiff waterproof protective clothing are over. Here is more information about what’s on offer.
In the past workwear that was guaranteed to protect you from wet weather was often stiff and difficult to move around in. In many industries, this was a huge challenge, including those needing to move quickly on construction sites or fishing vessels, for example.
However, thanks to modern technology, modern PPE can offer excellent waterproof protection, whilst being breathable and flexible.
Here are some of the ranges we recommend.
Sealtex
For those working outdoors, including delivery drivers, the new workwear on offer by Sealtex offers good protection against the elements.
The clever styling, exceptional water resistance and affordable price make this garment a great value waterproof jacket.
The tough fabric and welded seams are combined with a zip-fastened studded storm flap that keeps out water. To allow comfort and movement, the coat is styled to allow a generous fit for the wearer's comfort. It also offers two pockets for secure storage of belongings and has a pack-away hood and adjustable cuffs to keep the wearer extra dry. It is also designed to be breathable so the wearer won’t get cold and wet from body moisture, particularly important for those in warmer environments such as delivery vans or who are active in their working day.
Sealtex also makes waterproof trousers
These are also lightweight and generous fit and elasticated waist to allow room for movement. At the same time, they are extremely waterproof, with welded hems and a stud-adjustable hem that maintains a secure fit around the top of working boots.
Elka
Another range we offer is the new Dry Zone range of waterproof workwear from Elka.
