Product Overview
The Anti-Static ESD Howie Coat is a precision-engineered garment designed for professionals working in environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a risk to sensitive equipment. By combining a classic Howie-style wrap-over front with advanced material technology, this coat provides extensive body coverage and a crisp, professional silhouette. It is a reliable choice for those who require both technical protection and all-day comfort in laboratory or manufacturing settings.
Key Features
- Knitted cuffs offer a secure and comfortable fit at the wrists, preventing sleeves from snagging on equipment and ensuring better containment of contaminants.
- Two lower extra patch pockets provide convenient storage for essential tools or mobile devices, keeping them secure yet accessible.
- A left chest pocket is perfectly positioned for quick access to pens or small diagnostic instruments, aiding organisation during technical tasks.
- The Texpel finish provides a superior water and dirt repellent barrier, ensuring the garment remains clean and professional even when exposed to spills or dust.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight coat is constructed from a durable blend of 65% polyester, 34% cotton, and 1% conductive fibre. This specific composition ensures the garment is breathable and hard-wearing, while the integrated conductive fibres form a carbon grid that safely dissipates static electricity. The inclusion of the Texpel finish further enhances the garment's performance by repelling liquids, which prevents staining and maintains the fabric's integrity over time. The wrap-over design provides an extra layer of protection across the torso, making it a superior choice for technical environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Ensuring your team looks cohesive is simple with our customisation services. This Howie coat is well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a sophisticated and enduring finish, embroidery is the ideal choice for company logos or individual names, as it maintains its appearance through repeated industrial laundering. Alternatively, high-quality printing is available for larger, bolder designs that require high visibility.

Practical Advice
When ordering, we recommend considering the layers usually worn beneath the coat. As this is a protective outer layer, a correct fit is essential to ensure the ESD properties are effective without restricting movement. If your role involves high levels of manual dexterity, ensuring the knitted cuffs are positioned correctly will provide the best balance of protection and flexibility.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of the anti-static properties and the protective finish, we recommend a normal wash process at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at higher temperatures may degrade the conductive fibres and diminish the effectiveness of the Texpel coating.
Do not use bleach, as this will cause irreversible damage to the fabric's structure and its static-dissipative capabilities. This garment should be line dried; avoid tumble drying, as the high heat can lead to shrinkage and potential damage to the carbon grid within the fabric.
If ironing is necessary, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C to avoid damaging the synthetic fibres. For more intensive cleaning, the coat is suitable for professional dry cleaning using Tetrachloroethene, which helps maintain the garment's professional appearance without compromising its technical performance.
