HOW DO I DRESS AGAINST RAIN?

When you’re outdoors in the rain and wind, you want clothing that keeps you dry and warm yet allows you to move freely without getting sweaty and clammy. It is very important that you trust your gear to keep safe from the elements. Our rain gear will protect from even the harshest environments.

Here’s how to dress, or what to think about, when you are going against the rain. 

– Choose rainwear based on what profession you have. The more work outdoors in weather-exposed environments, the higher the level of rainwear. Waterproof is not a standardized term across the industry. Some jackets will be more waterproof than others. Make sure you get what you need.

– Remember, for best protection, your whole body should be protected from rain and cold. Jacket, trousers, and footwear is the way to go, and no cutting corners. 

– All levels of Blåkläder’s rainwear collection are perfect for craftsmen, gardeners, highway and construction workers, fishermen, and others who work outdoors.

– All clothes in the collection have a unitary fit and function, but you will see that we have varying length options in our jackets and non Hi-Vis options.

There’s something for all situations and circumstances; from lighter basic garments that perform excellently in harsh conditions to fantastically durable and extremely hard-working rainwear for harsh and extremely harsh conditions.

– Waterproofness is a whole science, and the basics are that the fabric in rainwear normally must have a waterproof rating of 3,000mm (3m) or more.

– The fabric in these garments, jackets or trousers, is laminated with a membrane to make it waterproof and breathable. Explained simply, laminating is the adhesion of a thin plastic film to the fabric.
