Waterproof yet breathable
Good rainwear combines a waterproof rating of at least 5,000 mm water column with a breathable inner layer, so sweat moisture can escape while rain stays out. Sealed seams prevent leaks at the most vulnerable points of the garment.
Jackets, trousers and full suits
See our rain jackets for upper-body protection and rain trousers to keep your lower body dry too; for complete protection in one go, choose a rain coverall.
Combining with warmth and visibility
In cold weather, rainwear is best worn over a lined layer from Thermal/Freezer. If you also work alongside roads or in the dark, choose a version from High visibility with reflective stripes.
Caring for waterproof clothing
Wash rainwear at a low temperature and occasionally treat the outer layer with a waterproofing spray to renew its water repellency; this significantly extends the life of the coating.
