DL1018 PU-Coated Oxford Reflective Rain Suit | Professional Waterproof Workwear

Construction & Compliance

Key manufacturing standards and compliance notes for the DL1018.

• PU-Coated Oxford Construction

  Oxford weave base fabric with PU coating provides improved durability, abrasion resistance, and fabric stability compared with standard lightweight polyester PVC constructions — while maintaining wearing comfort.

• Waterproof Seam Construction

  Waterproof seam construction throughout the garment to prevent water penetration at join points during sustained outdoor use in rain.

• Reflective Tape

  Standard reflective tape layout on jacket and trousers. Tape placement, width, and configuration can be fully customised for OEM orders. Available on all three colour options including Black.

• Testing & Documentation

  Fabric weight verification, PU coating adhesion testing, seam waterproofness testing, and colourfastness data available on request. We support EU REACH documentation, CPSIA compliance for US import, and project-specific test reports for qualifying OEM orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the DL1018 differ from the DL1014 lightweight raincoat?

  The DL1014 uses 170T or 190T polyester with PVC coating — a lightweight, economical construction well suited for everyday PPE programmes and large-volume project supply. The DL1018 uses PU-coated Oxford fabric, which offers improved durability, better fabric stability, and a longer service life under regular outdoor use. The DL1018 is the better choice for professionals who wear their rain suit daily and need a garment that holds up over time, while the DL1014 suits buyers who prioritise lightweight comfort and cost efficiency.

• Is reflective tape available on the Black version?

  Yes. Reflective tape is available on all three colour options, including Black. The black base with silver reflective tape is a practical combination for logistics, industrial maintenance, facility management, and security applications where a professional finish is preferred over fluorescent colouring but worker visibility in low-light conditions remains important.

• Does the DL1018 carry EN ISO 20471 certification?

  No. The DL1018 does not carry EN ISO 20471 garment certification as a standard product. If your procurement requires a factory-certified EN ISO 20471 Hi-Vis garment, please see our DL1152FR, which holds EN ISO 14116, EN 343, and EN ISO 20471 garment certification. Certification testing for the DL1018 can be discussed for qualifying OEM orders.

• Can the reflective tape layout be customised?

  Yes. The DL1018’s Oxford weave base holds reflective tape securely through repeated washing and daily wear — a practical advantage over lighter polyester constructions. We can customise tape width, placement pattern (H-shaped, X-shaped, or waistband-only), and apply different configurations across the jacket and trousers. The Black version with custom silver tape is a popular choice for security and logistics programmes. Please include your reflective tape specification when submitting your inquiry.

• What OEM and private label options are available?

  OEM options for the DL1018 include custom Oxford fabric weight (210T or 420T), PU coating thickness adjustments, Pantone-matched colours for the Black or hi-vis variants, private label branding, reflective tape layout design, woven labels, hang tags, retail-ready polybag or box packaging, barcode and carton marking, plus fabric test data and compliance documentation support.
