Reflective Raincoat With Hood Meets Surging Safety Needs

Urban cycling accidents decreased 18% in cities adopting reflective gear (NHTSA 2023). The global reflective apparel market will reach $4.7B by 2028, driven by 34% CAGR in cycling commuters. Our 360° reflective raincoat with hood
demonstrates 98.6% visibility at 200m distance – 47% higher than standard ANSI Class 2 certification.

Engineering Breakthroughs in Protective Textiles

Third-generation microprismatic reflectivity delivers 1,200 candelas/lux/m² light return. The patented 3-layer laminate combines:

• 50D ripstop nylon exterior (20,000mm waterproof rating)
• Electrospun PTFE membrane (15,000g/m²/24hr breathability)
• Antimicrobial taffeta lining (99.9% bacterial reduction)

FAQS on reflective raincoat with hood

Q: What is the primary purpose of a reflective raincoat with hood?

A: A reflective raincoat with hood combines waterproof protection for rainy weather and high-visibility reflective elements for safety in low-light conditions. The hood adds extra coverage, making it ideal for commuting or outdoor activities.

Q: How does a reflective rain jacket with hood differ from a waterproof reflective cycling jacket?

A: A reflective rain jacket with hood focuses on general waterproofing and visibility, while a waterproof reflective cycling jacket includes cycling-specific features like breathable panels, longer back coverage, and enhanced mobility for biking in rain.

Q: Can the reflective material on a waterproof reflective cycling jacket with hood fade over time?

A: High-quality reflective materials are designed to withstand wear and washing, but frequent harsh cycles or bleach may reduce effectiveness. Follow care instructions (e.g., cold wash, air dry) to maintain reflectivity.

Q: Is a reflective raincoat with hood suitable for running or hiking?

A: Yes, its reflective elements improve visibility during dawn/dusk runs, while the waterproof hood and fabric protect against rain. Opt for lightweight, breathable designs for high-intensity activities.

Q: Are reflective rain jackets with hood adjustable for a secure fit?

A: Most feature adjustable hoods with drawstrings and elastic or Velcro cuffs/hem to seal out rain. Cycling-specific jackets may include waist straps for a snug fit during movement.
