Water-resistant workwear and protective clothing are essential for professionals working outdoors, whatever the weather conditions. Here’s a guide to their importance, standards and benefits.

1.Characteristics of Water-Resistant Garments :

• Water repellent:
• Water-repellent garments withstand very light rain or drizzle.
• They allow water to run off the fabric thanks to a treatment applied to the surface.
• However, they are not suitable for heavy or moderate rain.
• Waterproofs with Membranes:
• Membranes are essential for true water resistance and breathability.
• Brands such as Gore-Tex and Sympatex manufacture waterproof and breathable membranes.
• These membranes are made up of micro-pores that allow water vapor to pass through while blocking liquid water.
• Fabrics laminated with these membranes are classified as 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer.
• Rainwear (oilskins):
• Some waterproof garments, such as oilskins, do not contain a membrane but are still waterproof.
• High Visibility Clothing:
• These garments are designed to make the wearer visible in all light conditions.
• They are essential for the safety of workers on construction sites or roads.

2.The standards for waterproof workwear

The EN 343 standard defines the level of protection of work rainwear. It defines the specifications and test methods for protective clothing against rain and other weather conditions (fog, snow and ground moisture). Workwear certified to EN 343 is waterproof.

3.How to choose your water-resistant clothing?

• Standards: Choose EN 343-certified garments.
• Professional activity: Evaluate the specific risks associated with your job.
• Comfort: Choose clothing that breathes and adapts to your movements.
• Personalization: Add your logo to reinforce your corporate identity.
