Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Rain Suit (H448) is a practical solution for professionals who require reliable protection against the elements without sacrificing visibility. Engineered from a robust plain weave polyester and finished with a PVC coating, this orange rain suit is specifically designed to keep the wearer dry in adverse weather conditions. Its most functional feature is its ability to be tightly rolled and stored, making it an essential addition to any vehicle or site locker for when the British weather inevitably turns.
Key Features
- PVC Coated 190T Fabric: The 100% polyester fabric is treated with a PVC coating to ensure complete water resistance, keeping you dry during prolonged exposure to rain.
- Integrated High Visibility: The bright orange colour and reflective elements ensure you remain visible to colleagues and vehicle operators in low-light environments.
- Pack-Away Design: This garment is designed for convenience; it can be easily rolled up and stored when not in use, taking up minimal space in your kit bag.
- Breathable Yoke: The inclusion of a 100% polyester mesh yoke provides necessary ventilation to help manage moisture and improve comfort during active use.
- Exceptional Value: Combining durability with essential safety features, this suit provides a cost-effective way to outfit a workforce for wet weather.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a medium-weight 190T plain weave polyester, this rain suit offers a balance between durability and flexibility. The PVC coating is applied to the outer shell to create an impermeable barrier against water, while the internal mesh yoke helps to mitigate the 'clammy' feel often associated with traditional waterproofs. The 4XL sizing ensures a generous fit, allowing the suit to be worn comfortably over existing workwear or bulky thermal layers without restricting movement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite being a functional waterproof garment, this rain suit can be customised to reflect your company identity. We offer both print and embroidery services handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. For this specific material, print is often the preferred choice for large, bold company logos on the back, as it maintains high impact without compromising the waterproof integrity of the fabric. However, small-scale embroidery is also available for a more traditional, professional appearance on the chest. Having been in the business since 1976, we can advise on the best placement to ensure your branding remains visible even in a downpour.
Use Cases
This suit is ideal for any professional working in outdoor environments where rain is a constant factor. It is particularly suited for roadside recovery, construction site management, and logistics personnel who need to transition quickly from a dry cab to a wet loading bay. The packable nature makes it perfect for seasonal workers or as an emergency set for personnel who are usually based indoors but occasionally visit active sites.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, remember that this rain suit is intended as an outer layer. As this is a 4XL garment, it provides ample room for layering over heavy sweatshirts or jackets. If you are frequently moving between active tasks and stationary periods, ensure you utilise the pack-away feature correctly to prevent the fabric from becoming unnecessarily creased or damaged when stored.
Caring for your product
To maintain the waterproof performance and visibility of this garment, it is important to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures or using harsh cycles can degrade the PVC coating and reduce the effectiveness of the reflective elements.
Do not use bleach, as this will cause the orange pigment to fade and weaken the polyester fibres. This garment must not be tumble dried; instead, it should be drip-lined dried to preserve its shape and waterproof properties. Exposure to high heat from a tumble dryer or an iron will likely melt or damage the PVC coating, rendering the suit ineffective.
Finally, please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 25 washes. Exceeding this limit may reduce the high-visibility properties below the required safety standards. Do not dry clean, as the chemicals used in the process are too abrasive for this specialised fabric.
