How to Choose Your Rainwear This Winter

There’s nothing more frustrating on a worksite than an old raincoat that just doesn’t cut it. Whether it’s made from outdated materials or has worn-out areas that leave you vulnerable to the elements, it's a problem you can't afford when working in harsh conditions.

As New Zealand shivers through the coldest part of the year, when temperatures regularly drop below freezing, you need reliable rainwear to keep you dry and comfortable.

That’s why Westpeak supplies some of the most durable raincoats, safety shoes, overtrousers, and vests to the country’s most hard-working industries.

But with such a range of clothing, how are you to know what will suit you and the needs of your team? This blog hopes to clear things up so you can get back to work in style and comfort.

Bison Extreme X-Tape Jacket

This heavy-duty jacket has become a staple in the wardrobes of anyone working outdoors on the worksite in winter.

As one of our best selling hi-vis day/night waterproof jackets, you know that it has been tested against the harshest weather that New Zealand can throw at it - and, from all reports, it has come out on top.

Westpeak has designed the Bison to comply with day and night time safety standards, with a guarantee to keep you dry for up to 12 hours.

The extra length and full neck coverage ensures there is nowhere for water to get in and under your outfit, allowing you to power through the drizzle.
 

Stamina Day/Night Jacket with Zip-off Sleeves

The Bison Stamina Day/Night Jacket is another strong instalment to your jacket collection, but this time with some added versatility.

The removable hood and sleeves allow the worker to become more mobile and potentially cool down in case things heat up during the day.

The Stamina collection also fully complies with day and night safety standards thanks to industry standard hi-vis materials.

6 hours of breathable, waterproof comfort is assured by this jacket, with a chest pocket included as an added bonus.

Stamina Waterproof Day/Night Vest

If you’re after even more mobility, or perhaps looking to treat the team with some extra workwear, the Stamina Waterproof Day/Night Vest is a great low-cost option.

This can easily be worn underneath either of the jackets mentioned above, and on top of one of our polos, t-shirts, or fleeces.

Westpeak has designed this vest to suit on-the-go site managers who can’t afford to lose their ID or phone. That’s why we’ve included a detachable ID pocket, a cell phone pocket, and an internal notepad chest pocket.

Stamina Hi-Vis Bib Overtrousers

Finally, to ensure your bottom half doesn’t miss out, the Stamina Hi-Vis Bib Overtrousers have been designed to match the top.

Choose from our Bib Overtrousers or the standard overtrouser depending on your style and needs.

The former extends up and over your shoulder, giving you full protection from the elements and the muck of your job. Alternatively, the standard overtrouser is a simple pant fit coming up to the waist and covering whichever tracksuit or khakis you find most comfortable on the job.

In any case, both are hi-vis and highly durable so you know there’s nothing New Zealand could throw at you that this rainwear can’t handle.
