As you would expect from Arco, we have updated our weatherwear section to include the latest in technology, innovation and style. With Berghaus and Sprayway leading the way in GORE-TEX protection, you are guaranteed the highest performance, even in the most extreme weather conditions and you can always rely on Trojan and Regatta to provide great-quality jackets and fleeces for a corporate image.
For quality and value for money we have our Trojan Tradesman range range. We also have Element II garments, designed exclusively for us by Regatta and Sprayway, for when you need to kit out a whole workforce at great prices.
For heavy-duty protection Arcothane and Flexothane waterproof suits are hard to beat. They are supple, tear-resistant and machine-washable, making them a great choice for industrial applications.
Wicking Garments
Anti Wicking garments are made from fabrics that assist in drawing perspiration away from the skin through the material, minimising the cooling effect on the skin as a result of dampness.
D.W.R Finish
Known as a durable water repellent finish, this proofing is applied to the outer fabric during the finishing operation.
The proofing protects from water 'wetting out' on the fabric and encourages droplets to bead and run off.
A DWR finish is not a permanent proofing therefore performance will reduce with wear and tear.
Interactive Jackets
Interactive clothing enables compatibility between outer and inner layers such as fleeces and soft-shell's integrating with outer shell garments.
3-in-1 garments offer multi layered protection against foul weather across all four seasons.
Fleeces
The majority of Fleece fabrics are made from Knitted Polyester which results in a lightweight, comfortable and warm garment. Fleece fabrics are not inherently waterproof, unless a water resistance membrane has been used in the construction.
Fleeces come in a range of different weights suitable for all weather conditions.
Soft-shell
Soft-shell materials offer improved water resistance when compared to standard fleece garments. Fabrics tend to be lightweight and comfortable, as they less bulky than normal fleece fabrics.
Soft-shell fabrics are most often produced using tri laminate construction usually with a TPU membrane contained within the fabric structure.
Breathability
It is frequently the case that waterproof fabrics are either coated or laminated on the inner face to enable moisture transmission from the inside of the garment through to the outer face.
This enables a dissipation of water vapour within the garment during wear, allowing for greater wearer comfort.
There are many breathable fabrics on the market the best-known of these being GORETEX.
Heavy Duty Rainwear
Rainwear that forms a robust resistance to wind and water in very challenging weather conditions are normally either PVC or Polyurethane coated and offer excellent durability in the most difficult of working conditions.
GORETEX
GORETEX fabrics are waterproof windproof highly durable and breathable and come in a range of 2 and 3 Layer options to suit most weather and work situations.
Foul weather clothing can be found for many different environments where weather protection is needed.
BS EN343:2003 - European Standard for protective clothing - protection against rain.
The standard breaks down into two areas, the first refers to resistance to water penetration; the second refers to the water vapour resistance (breathability) of the garment.
A performance level of 3 being the highest standard.
WaterproofTherefore the highest water resistant and breathable garment would read as BS EN343: 2003 3,3
