The rainy season is coming, and it’s time to wear enough underwear in the plum rain season. However, if you insist on commuting by motorcycle, or if you go out to ride, you will occasionally encounter rain. It is recommended to choose a raincoat around you to avoid getting soaked.

So, how should I choose a motorcycle raincoat?

At present, the material and process of motorcycle raincoat generally adopts nylon cloth with a layer of Pu or PVC coated fabric, and then hot press waterproof adhesive strip on the joint between the fabric and the fabric to make the fabric impermeable, so as to make the motorcycle raincoat achieve the rainproof effect.

The quality and waterproof performance of a raincoat are related to these factors:

1. Waterproof and breathable performance of the fabric itself. Generally, it can be measured with a pneumatic machine. XXXX mm H2O is used to represent the water resistance. The higher the value, the stronger the water resistance. Permeability is generally expressed by XXXX g / ㎡ / 24h. The higher the value, the more breathable and the better the comfort. Another design is very important. For example, if there is a window design on the back of the raincoat coat, its air permeability will be increased.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of adhesive strips. The hot pressing speed of the waterproof rubber strip and the characteristics of its integration with the fabric (the integration of the rubber strip) also affect the waterproof of the raincoat. A good rubber strip can prevent water seepage at the seams of the fabric, especially at the crotch. The quality and price of the adhesive strips are poor and uneven. The cheap ones can reach 1-2 wool / M and the expensive ones can reach 7-8 wool / m. therefore, the durability of the adhesive strips is different, which is also one of the reasons affecting the waterproof durability of raincoats.

3. Wearing frequency and maintenance. Different people use the same raincoat and different maintenance methods may have different results. If the raincoat is always stored in the side trunk of the motorcycle and the motorcycle is placed in the open air in summer, the service life of the raincoat may be affected. Because the exposed temperature of the trunk may reach more than 50 degrees, which will affect the waterproof performance of the raincoat. So is the helmet. It is not recommended to place it in the trunk for a long time. The beast once put a frosted helmet in the trunk of the car for a summer, resulting in the melting of the frosted surface of the helmet and the adhesion of the paint. In addition, it is not recommended to place with sharp objects, such as internal wrenches and screwdrivers, which are easy to scratch the raincoat fabric. It is also recommended to dry the raincoat after riding in rainy days and store it in a cool and dry environment.

4. Raincoat life cycle. It is understood that PVC coated material raincoat has good aging resistance, but the drawback is poor permeability and heavy fabric. The advantage of PU material is that it can achieve high permeability and high permeability. The fabric can be relatively light, but it has poor aging resistance and poor tear resistance. At present, the durability test of raincoat fabric is basically 3000 times of washing durability test. Foreign countries have special raincoat en343 certification, which stipulates the permeability and tear strength of fabrics, and the national standard also has relative standards. In practice, the service life of raincoats is related to many factors. It is understood that some factories give feedback on meituan’s customized raincoats. Because meituan drivers often wear and walk, the seam tape of pants is very easy to be damaged and leak rain. Therefore, many raincoat pants adopt circular crotch design to avoid cross joints in the crotch and reduce the degumming probability of crotch strips. In addition, adding a lining net to the inner lining of the raincoat can also effectively avoid the pull of the detachable fabric and protect the fabric from damage. Therefore, the service life of raincoat is caused by comprehensive factors. Fabric characteristics, structural design, advantages and disadvantages of rubber strips, use frequency and use habits will affect its rainproof performance, and the service life cycle is also uncertain.

So the conclusions are: 1. Choose raincoats with high waterproof and air permeability index as far as possible. 2. 2. Try to choose one with a window at the back of the top. 3. The crotch shall be designed as round as possible. 4. According to their portability, choose light and easy to carry or heavy and durable. 5. Try to choose one with adjustable Velcro at the waist and trouser legs. 6. Try to choose the one with lining net inside. 7. Select reliable merchants and brands with after-sales service. However, according to many years of sales experience, no raincoat is long-term and reliable, and there is a certain probability of water leakage in use. It mainly depends on whether the merchant’s after-sales service can provide certain guarantee and promise to repair or replace.

PS: at present, motorcycle raincoats are generally designed for motorcycle users. They can wear riding clothes in the raincoat. Therefore, generally, it is not necessary to select a larger size, which can be selected according to the recommended data on the details page.
