Many customers often reach out to us, asking questions about the quality of the coats and jackets we offer online. That’s why, we’re here to give you a few tips on what to look out for when buying jackets or coats online.

Features to look for when buying a waterproof coat or jacket online

“Is this jacket really waterproof or will water seep in from unexpected openings?” We get it; you’ve burnt your fingers buying a jacket online in the past. Many customers have got the short end of the straw when trying to buy a cheaper coat from an unreliable site. Some rain jackets don’t deliver on what was promised. Universal Textiles eliminates this problem for them and you by offering affordable waterproof jackets, with variations in sizes, colour, and other preferences.

That’s why it’s important to recognise what you are buying, especially when it’s online. You’re obviously not going to get to try it on, or experience augmented VR on our site to experience wearing that water-resistant jacket. So, we want to make sure that you make the right buying decision on our site. Here’s what you should ask yourself for when buying a waterproof coat or jacket online.

• Is the jacket you are looking for available in different styles?

It’s good to have your preference and style, and this holds true for jackets as well. Be it a rain Durable Water Repellent or DWR finish jacket, rain shells jacket, trail running jacket, a chest pocket jacket, or an adjust hood jacket; these features define the type of waterproof workwear. If you are looking for a specific type then figure out whether the online site you are on, gives you different designs of the jackets that come with the features you want. So, you can find waterproof workwear with varied styles, from overalls to work trousers, jackets and waterproof work tops.

• Are the jackets or coats available in different sizes?

You don’t want to be caught up in searching for a size that’s not available. Always look out for jackets that you prefer, yes, but also if the size is available. Compromising on the size never gets you anywhere, because you’re just settling with something that delivers less than your expectations. It can be a let-down if you are in a construction job and have no appropriate waterproof jacket. Thankfully, there is a great selection of waterproof coats and jackets on Universal Textiles which are suitable to your liking. Look for the jacket price tag before you move on to the checkout point to ensure that you are paying for what you get.

• Are they waterproof and water-resistant?

Yes, the two terminologies are different, and you should be aware of what each means. A waterproof coat is an excellent choice at providing protection from rains, but having the additional feature of wind-resistant qualities is the icing on the cake. So, what’s the difference? Waterproof features mean that your jacket is impermeable to water, no matter the duration of exposure. On the other hand, water-resistant jackets can resist the penetration of water to a certain extent, if not entirely. Therefore, having both qualities in the same jacket can really make it worth the pay.

• Can your jacket sustain the difference in your body temperature regulation?

Check for the feature online in the description section if the jacket is breathable.

Although rare, you may be looking to stay waterproof in warmer conditions as well. Many waterproof jackets support your body’s ability to sweat excessively and you are covered by a heavy jacket, insulating the warmth within. To put it simply, breathable jackets allow sweat that is formed to escape in the form of water vapour from the inside of the fabric to the outside. The minimum rating for a breathable jacket is 5,000 – 10,000g/m² for resort skiing, or camping in the rain. The highest level of rating goes up and beyond 15,000 – 20,000g/m² for trips to the hills, trekking in warmer climates, and activities that cause heavy perspiration. If you’re looking for something in-between then choose a waterproof jacket with the breathability rate of 10,000 – 15,000g/m² that’s perfect for backcountry skiing, or any moderately adventurous travel.

Your wardrobe deserves a good waterproof jacket addition for activities specific to your lifestyle. You don’t want to find yourself unprotected from unpredictable weather. So, make sure you check out our collections before checking out with other items on Universal Textiles. We have a wide collection of waterproof jackets and coats designed to combat the moody weather.

Even if you’re comfortable with heavyweight coats, there’s a jacket perfectly designed for you. From full to half zip jackets, red to grey, white, blue and black, there’s a colour for everyone. Don’t let the weather stop you from living your life; let your padded rain jackets take you to places you’ve never been to before.
