When you work in demanding industries like construction, forestry, or agriculture, rain is more than a simple inconvenience. It’s a safety hazard. Wet conditions can lower your body temperature, compromise your grip on essential tools, and create distractions that lead to accidents. To stay safe and productive, you need more than a standard raincoat. You need waterproof workwear designed for the job site.
For decades, professionals across North America have relied on Ranpro rain gear to withstand the toughest elements.
Read on to learn how Ranpro's specific design elements, from advanced materials to specialized construction, work together to keep you protected.
Ranpro: A Legacy of Industrial Protection
Ranpro has established itself as a leader in designing and manufacturing high-performance protective gear that meets the highest standards of safety and durability. Trusted across industries like oil and gas, industrial manufacturing, and utilities, Ranpro’s commitment to quality makes it the preferred choice for professionals who cannot afford to compromise on safety.
Made with Heavy-Duty Materials
The core of any waterproof workwear is the fabric. Standard rain jackets often use lightweight nylon that might stop a light drizzle but will soak through during an eight-hour shift in a downpour.
Ranpro utilizes distinct material compositions designed for industrial use, primarily high-quality PVC and polyurethane (Poly) blends.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Known for its incredible water resistance and durability. It creates a solid barrier against moisture that does not degrade easily when exposed to oil, grease, or industrial grime.
- Poly/Cotton Backing: Many Ranpro items feature a polyester or cotton backing. This adds strength to the fabric and improves comfort against the skin or base layers, reducing that "clammy" feeling often associated with rubber gear.
This combination ensures that water stays on the outside, keeping you dry even in relentless storms.
Flexibility in Freezing Temperatures
One of the biggest complaints about industrial rain suits is stiffness. As the temperature drops, lower-quality materials can become rigid, making it difficult to move, bend, or climb. In a hazardous work environment, restricted movement can be dangerous.
Ranpro addresses this with "Cold Flex" technology. This design feature ensures that the material remains flexible even in extreme cold.
Some Ranpro boots and garments are rated for temperatures as low as -50°C. This means you can maintain your full range of motion without fighting against your gear, allowing you to focus on the task at hand rather than your comfort level.
Watertight Seams for Total Protection
A jacket is only as waterproof as its seams. If a needle punctures the fabric to stitch it together, that hole becomes an entry point for water.
To prevent leaks, durable rain gear must have reinforced and sealed seams. Ranpro utilizes advanced seam-sealing techniques, such as welded seams, which bond the material together to create a continuous barrier. This prevents water from seeping in through the stitching, ensuring that "waterproof" truly means waterproof.
High Visibility for Low-Light Safety
Harsh weather often means poor visibility. Heavy rain, fog, and early sunsets can make it difficult for machinery operators and drivers to see workers on the ground.
Many items in the Ranpro lineup are designed with high visibility in mind. They incorporate bright fluorescent colors (like high-vis yellow or orange) and reflective striping that meets safety standards (such as CSA Class 1, 2, or 3). This ensures that you remain visible to your team and passing traffic, significantly reducing the risk of accidents on site.
Gear That Works as Hard as You
Industrial environments are tough on clothing. Snags, tears, and abrasions are common when working with concrete, lumber, or steel. Replacing cheap gear every few months is costly and frustrating.
Ranpro gear is constructed to resist tearing and puncturing. The heavy-duty PVC/Poly exterior is designed to take a beating and keep performing. By investing in quality gear, you reduce the frequency of replacements and ensure you are always protected when the weather turns.
