All Weather suits

Warmth, rain protection or both?

A lined all-weather suit is useful when you work in the cold for long periods. If rain is your main concern and you move a lot, a less heavily insulated version may suit you better. Lining, protection against precipitation and ventilation are separate features: a warm overall is not automatically waterproof.

• Cold conditions with little movement: look for an insulating lining, a close-fitting collar and cuffs you can fasten. Also compare winter overalls when warmth is your main priority.
• Heavy rain: choose a version specified as waterproof, with suitable seam sealing and closures. With rain overalls the emphasis is on protection against precipitation; a mesh lining is not a warm winter lining.
• Lots of walking, lifting or climbing: look for freedom of movement and ventilation you can adjust while working. A thick suit can become too warm during physical activity.

All-weather suits, winter overalls and rain overalls can overlap. The name alone therefore does not tell you whether a suit is suitable for your combination of cold, wind and rain. If you prefer to combine a separate jacket and trousers, browse our winter workwear.

What should you look for in materials and construction?

A coating or membrane can keep rain out, but the seams, zip and storm flap need to support that protection too. Water-repellent is not the same as waterproof. With a breathable version, also consider how you can release heat and sweat, for example through ventilation zips. Close ventilation openings when rain could enter through them.

Linings vary by model, from a light inner lining to warm quilted or teddy fleece linings. A softshell design alone does not tell you how much insulation you get either. There is no fixed outdoor temperature at which every softshell suit or winter suit remains comfortable.

Also look for details that make work easier: leg zips for putting the suit on over boots, an adjustable or detachable hood, accessible pockets and knee pad pockets where provided. If you spend a lot of time kneeling, check which knee protection is intended for that model.

What size all-weather suit do you need?

Measure your chest, waist and inside leg and follow the size chart for the chosen brand and model. Try the suit on with the clothing you wear underneath at work, such as thermal clothing, a sweatshirt or fleece. Do not automatically choose a size larger: you need enough room without the suit being unnecessarily loose.

Sit down, bend over and reach forwards and upwards with your arms. Check that the suit does not pull at your shoulders, crotch or knees. Also try it with your work shoes or boots and check how the legs fit around them. Leg zips make dressing easier, but do not replace this fit check.

All-weather suits printed with your company logo

Your company logo or name on an all-weather suit makes your team recognisable outdoors too. We offer overall printing using a method suited to the material and protective properties of the chosen suit.

Frequently asked questions

What is an all-weather suit and what is it for?

An all-weather work suit or coverall is a one-piece garment for work that keeps you outdoors even in cold or changeable weather. It covers your upper body and legs without an open gap between a separate jacket and trousers. The protection it provides depends on its construction; a standard work overall does not automatically offer the same lining or rain protection.

What are the requirements for all-weather workwear?

The requirements follow from the risks at your workplace, not simply from the name all-weather suit. On rain-protective clothing you will still encounter EN 343; its successor is EN ISO 24232:2025. For protection against cold there is EN 342. If high visibility is required, look for EN ISO 20471 and any additional workplace requirements. Check the stated performance and instructions for use of the chosen suit.

When should I use an all-weather suit?

For outdoor work involving prolonged exposure to cold, wind, rain or mud, for example in construction, infrastructure or agriculture. Choose for the conditions you actually face. Offshore work or other specific risks may require additional protection; an all-weather suit is not automatically sufficient.
