Pressure washing rain gear
If you work in the pressure washing world, you’ll know just how important it is to have the right gear. It can be a demanding, messy and physically demanding job, so you’ll need support from specialist workwear.
Whether you’re cleaning cars, factories or warehouses, working with either domestic, commercial or industrial clients, you’ll need to be properly kitted out. You and your crew will need tough, comfortable and 100% waterproof clothing to help you get on with the job safely.
Here at Stormline, we specialise in heavy duty wet weather gear. We’re a trusted supplier for a range of industries, including construction, commercial fishing and agriculture. But we are also the supplier of choice for cleaning professionals, including pressure washing businesses of all kinds.
This is because our pressure washing rain gear is exceptional quality, made from the toughest materials and designed with the input of real-life cleaning professionals. We test everything we sell extensively, so you can buy in complete confidence.
Take a look on this page at our range of waterproof jackets, overtrousers, bib and brace overalls and much more. All have been tried-and-tested by real pressure washing pros out in the field.
Striking the perfect balance between waterproofing, durability and
comfort
Pressure washing rain gear needs to tick three important boxes if it’s going to be up to the demands of the job.
These are:
- Waterproofing
- Durability
- Comfort
It’s not surprise why waterproofing is required. Jet washing is always going to be a wet job, but this doesn’t mean you and your team need to get wet. With the right waterproof clothing, you can stay dry, warm and protected.
Unlike some workwear brands which can only promise ‘water resistance’ or ‘showerproofing’, Stormline power washing gear is guaranteed to be 100% waterproof. We use design features such as welded seams, robust double-layered PVC material and adjustable cuffs to make sure you stay dry while at work.
Power washing is also a physically demanding job. This means you’ll need workwear that is easy to wear and move in, and that offers breathable protection from the elements. It may also involve dealing with harsh chemicals, oil and other substances, which can damage or deteriorate clothing that isn’t specially designed for the job. This can even be dangerous for the wearer, especially if such substances penetrate clothing and come into contact with the skin.
Our jet washing gear is designed to offer this freedom of movement, along with exceptional durability. This means you can keep working in comfort for many years to come, without needing to replace your workwear regularly.
It’s all about the heavy duty PVC
What makes our pressure washing rain gear so durable and protective is the material its made from. For many items, we use 500gsm or even 650gsm PVC. This up there with some of the toughest, thickest types of PVC you can get, and we often use a double layer for extra protection.
As you can imagine, this heavy duty PVC is seriously robust. It is 100% waterproof, oil resistant and able to withstand day after day and year after year of heavy use. Yet despite its heavyweight qualities, you’ll be
surprised how comfortable jackets and overalls made from 500gsm PVC are to wear.
It’s important to remember that commercial pressure washing is a pretty powerful and potentially dangerous activity. It involves using extremely high-pressure water spray to remove elements like dirt, mould and paint from hard surfaces. For some commercial pressure washers, the water pressure can reach extreme pressures of up to 30,000 psi.
Although of course you won’t be pointing the power washer directly at yourself or anyone else, the water can bounce back off of surfaces in your direction, which means you will likely be getting wet. There’s also the very likely risk of dirt and other elements removed by the spray heading your way. This debris, along with the water, can be surprisingly powerful. It could cause rips, tears, damage and deterioration to sub-standard clothing, and it could even be dangerous for you.
Ultimately, the job is a very different to home pressure washing, where lower pressure appliances are used to clean the patio. This is why you and your crew need heavy duty workwear that is specifically designed for
this kind of commercial or industrial work. Other clothing simply won’t cut it. Choose the wrong gear and you’ll end up damaging staff morale, and perhaps even putting your employees at risk.
Simply put, your pressure washing gear isn’t worth spending money on if it can’t withstand the kind of water pressure, dirt, debris and chemicals you encounter on a typical work day.
Spotlight on: Stormtex 669B Midweight PVC Waterproof Workwear Bib
and Brace
Every pressure washing professional will have their own preferred gear, whether that’s all-in-one overalls or a separate jacket and trousers. But here at Stormline, we find that one product is particularly popular with those working in the industry.
This is our Stormtex 669B Midweight PVC Waterproof Workwear Bib and Brace Overalls. They’re made from 500gsm oil resistant PVC, a medium-weight material offering the perfect combination of toughness and flexibility. It’s designed for outdoor work and durable enough to withstand the rigours of your job. But it’s also comfortable and easy to wear, so it won’t hinder your movement.
One of the best features of these overalls for pressure washing professionals is the relaxed fit. This gives you plenty of room underneath for layering, ideal for those colder months when you need extra thermal and insulating clothing. What you’ll find with some heavy duty workwear is that it’s so tough and stiff that you can’t move properly in it. Or that it’s so snug fitting that there’s no room for thermal layers.
Our Stormtex 669B Bib and Brace Overalls are different. We listened to our customers when improving the design, especially when they said they preferred the freedom of movement and opportunity for layering
offered by a more relaxed fit.
Another unique feature of the Stormtex 669B is the fully reversible design, which effectively doubles the lifespan of the overalls. After a long period of heavy use on one side, you can just reverse the overalls and effectively start afresh with a brand new garment.
Other features of our Stormtex 669B Midweight Workwear Bib and Brace include:
- Sliding plastic divider at the back of the braces, which allows the overalls to be adjusted for maximum comfort. This makes them a suitable choice for all members of the team, as they can be adjusted to suit the wearer no matter what their body shape or size.
- A handy internal pocket, helping to keep your phone, tools or other essentials to hand – while also keeping them safe and dry under a protected layer of waterproof material.
- Stainless steel snaps on the ankles, which enables you to get a snug, water-resistant fit between the overall trousers and your work boots.
- The ankle snaps are quick and easy to use, letting you tighten or loosen in seconds. This is another feature which makes these overalls versatile enough for a whole team, as the fit on the ankles can be adjusted to suit different types and sizes of work boots.
