Industrial Rain Gear: What Workers Must Know Before Buying

Many professions require people to work outdoors even when it’s raining heavily. We are talking about people like field workers and safety & police officers. 

We all know how inconvenient it is to carry an umbrella while working. This is why, what you need instead is a heavy-duty raincoat that carries you through the day without letting discomfort rain on your parade. 

To protect yourself from both light and heavy showers without feeling trapped inside an uneasy gear, we recommend that you choose high-quality industrial rain gear manufactured by top PPE experts like Mallcom. 

We are here to walk you through everything you ought to know and look for in the rainwear you purchase. 

Choose The Best Material For Your Industrial Rain Gear

While buying industrial rain gear, the first thing you need to look at is its fabric. The fabric should be lightweight and comfortable so that it doesn’t get in your way while you are at work. It may be raining all day and yet, if the material composition of your raincoat is right, you won’t feel uneasy even if you have to wear it for long hours. 

To prioritise every worker’s comfort, we recently launched a revamped collection of rainwear. Each raincoat in this collection is crafted with 100% polyester. Our experts specifically chose polyester while designing industrial rain gear because it feels very comfortable against the body and is also light in weight. Our newly-designed raincoats like Nimbus, Stratus, Arcus and Cumulus weigh as low as just 120 gsm. Hence, they are quite worker-centric.

Apart from comfort, another important thing to look for in the material is durability. Workers may have to be constantly exposed to heavy showers. So they need heavy-duty raincoats which are tough enough to bear high water pressure. 

While most regular raincoats in the market are coated with PVC, Mallcom’s industrial rain gear collection presents a PU-coating. And how does it make a difference? PU, also known as Polyurethane, extends the shelf life of rainwear and keeps it crack-free. 

From Poncho To Pants - Get Rain Gear In Different Styles

The renewed rainwear collection by Mallcom comes in different styles - not just for visual appeal but also for utility. For instance, Cumulus is a poncho-like raincoat which is very easy to wear. Who can benefit from it the most? Workers who also need to carry huge backpacks with them. This is because this industrial rain gear in the design of a poncho can be easily worn over the bag. It ensures that both you and your backpack get the required coverage. 

Mallcom has also curated rainwear with a jacket and pants such as Nimbus, Stratus and Arcus. These heavy-duty raincoats come with a zip and velcro closure to fit the wearer securely. They also pose elasticised closure at parts like wrists, ankles and waist which prevents water from seeping in. 

Apart from being a rain gear with pants and jacket, Stratus in particular also possesses silver reflective piping and a reflective Mallcom-branded logo. This makes it suitable for people working in dim regions. 

Each gear also comes with innovative features that maximise functionality and safety both. They have pockets with zip closure that offer 360° protection for your valuables. There is also an adjustable hood to keep the head dry. The seams in the fabric are sealed with a special tape which prevents the penetration of water and keeps the wearer sweat-free. Additionally, our rainwear comes with a carry bag for safe storage.

Workers can also get a variety of colours and sizes to pick from. Arcus in fact is a bi-coloured industrial rain gear and looks quite attractive apart from being functional.

Prioritise Heavy-Duty Raincoats Designed With Reliability

Workers can’t settle for anything less than the best. Whether you choose a poncho or a rainwear with jacket and pants - what’s most important is knowing that what you wear is lab-tested. 

At Mallcom, PPE production processes always follow global protocols which you can trust. Our rainwear is EN 343 compliant which is a mark of its reliable nature. Beyond the features, composition and design, the testing that a heavy-duty raincoat has gone through matters a lot. So this is yet another thing which you should seek to choose a premium rainwear.
