Why choose a waterproof and breathable work jacket?
Rain or not, some work always continues. Then you must be well protected against the heaviest rain shower and not hindered in your work. If you choose a raincoat that meets the EN 343 standard, you assume that it is waterproof. You can recognize waterproof work jackets with the EN 343 standard by the umbrella symbol in the product photo. These waterproof work jackets offer you protection against rain, snow and other precipitation. The EN 343 (X/Y) standard has 4 classes for waterproofness (X) and 4 classes for breathability (Y).
If you choose a work jacket with EN 343 class 4 for waterproofing, you can be sure that this work jacket is waterproof, even when pressure is exerted on the jacket, for example because you are carrying materials during your work.
Advantage of a breathable work jacket
You want to stay dry when working in a heavy rain shower, but if you do intensive work, you will quickly sweat in a closed work jacket. It is important that you can move well and that perspiration is transported away from the skin during intensive exertion. This way you won't feel clammy and you won't get hypothermia. That is why it is best to choose a waterproof work jacket that also has breathability class 3 or 4. In general, there is no performance difference between a breathable coated or membrane raincoat when it comes to breathability. However, a coating is less expensive, but also less wear-resistant than a membrane. If you carry a lot of tools or equipment during your work, which can rub against the jacket, then a breathable raincoat with membrane is a better choice.
