Commercial Rain Gear

Fatigue-free workwear for easy movement

With some kinds of heavy-duty commercial rain gear, the material is so thick and heavy that it becomes difficult to wear. It may be fully waterproof and incredibly durable, but this is no use if you and your team are uncomfortable while on the job.

Comfort and freedom of movement are especially important in commercial environments, where the work requires lots of lifting, shifting and movement around site. If you can’t move properly in it or the material is weighing you down, you simply won’t be able to perform at your best.

Our designers here at Stormline identified this problem early on, using feedback from real-world workers in commercial industries. We’ve spent years fine-tuning our designs to come up with workwear that effectively solves this problem of fatigue due to heavy-duty fabric.

The end result is commercial rain gear that is specially designed to distribute its own weight. This means no compromise on the tough, waterproof PVC material that keeps you safe, warm and dry at work, but it also means gear that is much, much easier to wear. It’s heavyweight workwear that feels like midweight.

Waterproof workwear that really is 100% waterproof

If you’re shopping for commercial rain gear for working outdoors, by far the most important quality to look for is waterproofing. The number one question to be asking is – is it really waterproof, and not just ‘showerproof’ or ‘water resistant’?

Without a guarantee of 100% waterproofing, it’s just not worth buying. You’ll end up with an unhappy, soaked-through crew, and the need to spend more money on replacement gear.

The key is to look for specialist workwear for commercial industries. Ordinary waterproofs may be fine for a hiking trip or walking the dog, but they’re simply not up to the standard required for working in physically
demanding workplaces which are constantly exposed to the elements.

Durability is also incredibly important. You might find that a work jacket starts out as fully waterproof, so you’ll initially be satisfied with the performance. But over just a few months of tough work, putting the item through it’s paces, problems may emerge. The seams (which are often a vulnerable spot) start to weaken and the material begins to deteriorate. Before you know it, you’ve got wet shoulders or your underlayers of clothing are damp after just a few hours on the job.

As you’ll know if you work in an outdoor setting, feeling damp at work is uncomfortable at best and downright miserable at worst. And then there’s the sinking feeling that you’ll need to once again spend time and money shopping for workwear.

You can avoid all this by buying specialist gear from a trusted specialist. At Stormline, we’re proud to say that our range of UK work rain gear really is a cut above the rest.

During the design process, we go to extraordinary lengths to make sure that our gear really is 100% waterproof. We pack each piece with design features which not only make them fully waterproof, but also ensure they stay that way.

Key features of our work rain gear include:

• Reinforced and welded seams. These seams are made to stand the test of the time, to withstand every bend, stretch and reach of the wearer. With reinforcement in place, the seams won’t weaken over time and start to let in water.
• Exceptional quality, heavy-duty materials like professional-grade PVC. These are specially designed to slick away rainwater, oil and other liquids right off the surface. This kind of material also dries faster.
• Velcro storm flaps. These form a protective layer to ensure water does not slip into the coat as it runs off the flap. The extra fabric also allows jackets to be breathable, so you stay cool and comfortable while working.
• Adjustable ankle and wrist cuffs. There’s nothing worse when you’re trying to work than water running down your sleeves, or getting into your boots. With adjustable cuffs, you can get the perfect fit. They can be tightened when necessary, to prevent moisture penetration.

Waterproofing is obviously very important in commercial work environments for ensuring the comfort and morale of your team.

But there’s another crucial reason to ensure you have the right quality waterproof kit for every person working on site. This is safety, as failed waterproofing can potentially cause hazards during the working day.

When you’re wet through, you’re less able to concentrate on the task at hand. If all you can think about is discomfort and the need to change into dry clothes, you’re not thinking about your safety training or how
to avoid hazardous obstacles on site.

In really drastic weather conditions, it can be even worse. If you and your team end up soaked, this means wet hands and feet. This is a serious red flag for safety, as it could mean a risk of slips and falls, dropping
items or other accidents.

So, keeping dry is a key safety concern as well as a nice-to-have.

There’s one last reason why waterproofing matters, and that is staff morale. Being given sub-standard kit to wear and feeling uncomfortable at work is disastrous for your team’s motivation and productivity levels.

After all, no one wants to work for a company that doesn’t give them the protective clothing they need to do the job safely and comfortably.

This is why investing in the right waterproof clothing really is a top priority.
