Top 5 Points Clients Are Concerned About When Buying PVC Raincoats
Hollee Fashional is a professional raincoat supplier with over 30 years of experience in the industry. When discussing PVC raincoats with customers, their primary concerns typically revolve around the following key areas.
1. PVC Raincoat Performance-Related
1.1 Water Resistance
PVC is a commonly used waterproof material. Customers are concerned about whether it is 100% waterproof and whether it leaks during heavy rain.
Hollee: Yes, Hollee uses high-quality PVC material, which provides 100% water resistance and is suitable for moderate to heavy rainfall environments.
Some customers also ask, “Are the seams heat-sealed?” and “Can it withstand heavy rain or torrential rain?”
Hollee: All seams are processed using high-frequency heat-sealing technology (or adhesive bonding), ensuring waterproof joints that do not leak.

High-end customers or government procurement may also note whether water seeps in at zipper or snap button locations.
Hollee: We have made waterproof flaps at zipper/snap button areas to effectively block water ingress.
Customers sometimes ask, “Is it suitable for outdoor work?” or “Can it be worn during typhoon weather?”
Hollee: Based on actual testing and customer feedback, PVC raincoats of a certain thickness can withstand heavy rain and are suitable for outdoor construction, cycling, and emergency scenarios.
1.2 PVC Raincoat Durability / Service Life
For the durability and reusability of PVC raincoats, especially for engineering and protective use (such as construction sites, sanitation, mining, power, transportation, etc.), customers are particularly concerned about the following aspects:
A. Whether the PVC raincoat will tear easily (split or wear through) during activities like moving tools, bending over, or scraping?
Hollee: For such work scenarios, we use high-strength PVC-coated knitted fabric, which offers excellent tensile strength and tear resistance, making it suitable for high-intensity work environments.
B. Can it be reused? What is the service life?
Hollee: PVC raincoats are designed for multiple reuses and are suitable for daily workwear. With normal use, they can be worn repeatedly for several months.
C. Does it age or become brittle easily? Especially when exposed to outdoor sun and rain.
Hollee: Low-quality PVC raincoats can harden, whiten, and become brittle after just a few days in the sun. Customers can choose PVC materials with added anti-aging agents based on their budget, which offer good weather resistance and are suitable for long-term outdoor use, remaining flexible for several months under normal use.
D. Construction site customers often ask if it is oil-resistant, stain-resistant, and can block mud and water.
Hollee: PVC material has natural oil-resistant and stain-resistant properties, is easy to clean, and is suitable for various complex working environments.
1.3 PVC Raincoat Softness and Comfort
A. Traditional PVC raincoats are stiff, especially in low temperatures?
Hollee: We use modified PVC, which has excellent cold resistance and remains soft even in low temperatures, without hardening or breaking easily. So please note when you are doing the raincoat order.
B. Does it have an odor? Is there a pungent smell?
Hollee: PVC often contains plasticizers or low-quality additives, which can cause odor issues. Currently, Hollee uses environmentally friendly, non-toxic PVC materials according to customer requirements, resulting in low odor or no odor, and meets European/US environmental standards such as REACH and EN71.
