How to Choose Fabric for Raincoats?

Key Point

Choosing the wrong raincoat fabric often leads to higher after-sales costs than the initial material price difference.

Why Fabric Selection Matters

Many buyers focus only on price or thickness at the beginning.
In mass production, this may result in waterproof failure, poor wearing comfort, or compliance issues in export markets.

Common Raincoat Fabric Options

• PVC coated fabric – excellent waterproof performance and cost efficiency

• PU coated fabric – soft, lightweight, ideal for fashion rainwear

• EVA laminated fabric – low odor and eco-friendly, suitable for promotions

4 Key Parameters Buyers Should Check

1. Waterproof rating

2. Thickness stability

3. Printability or embossing

4. REACH / RoHS compliance
