Police raincoat is an important equipment for police officers to perform their duties in bad weather conditions, which not only relates to the comfort of duty, but also directly affects the work efficiency and safety. We will analyze how to choose the right police raincoat for the police force from several practical angles.
1. Material Selection
The core of quality police raincoat lies in the choice of material, the following points are referred to the reference aspects:
Waterproof performance: at least 5000mm waterproof compression strength of the fabric is needed to ensure that in heavy rain for a long time on duty without seepage. Common high-performance waterproof materials currently on the market include:
– Coated fabrics (PU coated)
– Laminated fabrics (e.g. Gore-Tex, eVent, etc.)
– Waterproof and breathable membrane composite fabrics
Breathability: Police officers often need to move quickly, and a poorly breathable rain jacket can lead to internal sweat buildup. It is recommended to choose materials with a breathability rate of 3000g/m²/24h or more.
Durability: police raincoats are used in complex environments, and the fabrics need to be tear-resistant and wear-resistant.
2. Functional Design
Police raincoats are different from ordinary raincoats and need to be specially designed for the characteristics of police work:
Reflective marking system:
– 360°visible reflective strip design
– Comply with EN ISO 20471 high visibility standard.
– The width of reflective strip should not be less than 50mm
Convenient opening design:
– Breathable underarm zippers
– Elongated front closure to prevent rain from penetrating
– Adjustable cuffs
Gear compatibility:
– Gear compatibility: Gear hanging point at the waist.
– Scratch-resistant lining to prevent wear and tear
– Enough room to move without interfering with tactical maneuvers.
3. Structure Tailoring
The tailoring of the police raincoat directly affects the experience of using it:
Three-dimensional cutting: should take into account the common movements of police officers, such as running, crouching, lifting arms, etc., the use of 3D three-dimensional cutting technology to ensure freedom of movement.
Length selection:
– Regular duty: length to mid-thigh
– Motorcycle police: lengthened to below the knee
– Special police tactical raincoat: relatively short to facilitate rapid movement
One-piece vs Split:
– One-piece: better waterproof performance, suitable for long time outdoor duty
– Split: easy to put on and take off, suitable for police officers who need to frequently enter and exit the vehicle
4. Color and Marking Options
– Color options:
Conventional duty: navy blue, dark blue and other traditional police colors
Traffic police: fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange and other high visibility colors
Special duties: camouflage or low visibility design can be selected according to needs
– Police logo:
Clearly visible police characters
Police number, departmental logo position unity
Badge should be fixed in a way that is strong and does not damage the fabric
5. Procurement of Regular Raincoats
Considerations when purchasing police raincoats in bulk:
Supplier qualifications and after-sales service
Size coverage (special body types should be included)
Delivery lead time and stock management
