Designed to provide breathable comfort and durable waterproof and windproof protection, The new Arco GORE-TEX® Hazardwear garments are ideal for a wide range of professional end uses. They exceed the limited requirements of EN 343:2003 (Protective Clothing against Rain). EN 343's highest requirement for waterproofness is only to 13kPa of pressure which is not sufficient for real working situations. GORE-TEX® Hazardwear is tested to 100kPa to ensure no water penetration, even with pressure on the shoulders from straps or when kneeling down.
Breathability is the key to comfort at work, and therefore safety and productivity. Even EN 343, Class 3 only requires Ret of 20, independent institutes show that Ret values of 6-10 are needed for work comfort. GORE-TEX ® Laminate rates as the most breathable, durable laminates available in class.
This three quarter length coat offers extended protection against the elements; it will keep you warm and dry and allow your skin to breathe so that you don't overheat while working.

While many flame retardant garments meet the lower level international standard EN ISO14116 Protective clothing against limited flame spread materials, all of the Arco PYRAD® Hazardwear garments meet the higher international EN standard EN ISO11612 Protective Clothing against Heat and Flame. The aim of both standards is to reduce the possibility of clothing burning and causing a hazard to the wearer, but the lower international standard EN ISO14116, is more suited to 'circumstances where there is no significant heat hazard and without presence of another type of heat'.
The hazardwear garments also include durable anti-static properties which are anchored in the membrane which means there is no electrical discharge which prevents ignition of flammable atmospheres. The anti static properties of the garment are embedded into the fabric and will last the life time of the garment even after washing.
All Arco GORE® PYRAD® Technology hazardwear possesses the same properties as the GORE-TEX® Hi Vis Garments, they are fully waterproof, windproof and breathable so will keep the wearer comfortable throughout their working day.
This coat offers an extremely high level of protection and looks stylish too. Made from 220g/m2 lightweight two layer fabric it is functional and durable, it is the lightest weight GORE-TEX® Fabric available offering heat and flame resistance to EN ISO 11612.
