What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant workwear?

Water-resistant workwear has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that sheds light rain but will eventually wet out. Waterproof workwear uses a membrane (like PU or TPU) and sealed seams to keep you dry in heavy rain. For NZ outdoor work, fully waterproof gear is recommended.

What rain gear brands does KiwiWorkGear stock?

KiwiWorkGear stocks wet weather gear from Betacraft, Bison, Portwest, and other trusted brands. Our range includes PVC rain jackets, waterproof shell jackets, rain pants, and full wet weather suits — all suitable for NZ outdoor conditions.

Do you stock hi-vis rain gear for traffic management and roadside work?

Yes — KiwiWorkGear has a range of hi-vis waterproof jackets and rain gear that meet AS/NZS 4602.1. These are suitable for traffic management, roadside maintenance, and outdoor work in wet NZ conditions.

How do I care for waterproof work jackets to maintain performance?

Machine wash on gentle with technical cleaner (no bleach or softener). Tumble dry on low or air dry. If water stops beading off the surface, re-apply a DWR spray. Store clean and dry to prevent mould and maintain waterproofing.
