Rainwear fabric sourcing questions
Practical answers for technical buyers.
01 / Buyer questions
Before you request a quote
What waterproof rating is suitable for professional rainwear?
The correct target depends on exposure time, garment construction, seam sealing and end use. Share the expected weather conditions and target market so the project team can recommend a suitable hydrostatic-pressure range.
Can you provide breathable waterproof fabric?
Yes. Options can include breathable PU coatings, white membranes and laminated constructions. The selection should balance water resistance, moisture transfer, hand feel, weight and cost.
How are water repellency and hydrostatic pressure checked?
Testing can include spray-rating evaluation, hydrostatic-pressure testing and agreed wash-durability checks. The appropriate standard and target should be agreed before sampling.
Can colors, camouflage and IRR printing be customized?
Custom colors, prints and certain project-specific finishing routes can be discussed according to construction, quantity and performance requirements.
What information is needed before requesting a sample?
Please provide the end use, fabric construction or reference, target performance, expected quantity, target market, required test method and delivery timing where available.
Can technical data sheets and test information be supplied?
Relevant technical data and quality information can be prepared according to the selected construction and agreed testing scope. Request the documents needed for your project review.
How are MOQ and lead time determined?
MOQ and lead time depend on yarn, base fabric, coating or lamination, color or print requirements, test scope and order quantity. The team will confirm them against the project brief.
What do you need to start a quote?
Start with the end use, expected quantity and destination market. If available, include a drawing, reference sample or fabric code, and your target delivery date.
How should I specify waterproof performance?
List the test method, acceptance threshold, care or ageing condition and whether the requirement applies to fabric, seams or the finished garment.
Can I request a sample without a final specification?
Yes, select Request a sample and describe how the item will be used. The brief can be refined before a sample route is agreed.
How do I check minimum quantities and lead times?
Ask for minimums by style and colour, sample and bulk lead times, and the starting point for each timeline. These depend on the approved construction and order.
What should a tender brief include?
Include the destination, submission deadline, specification clauses, mandatory evidence, quantity by line and required delivery schedule.
Can I send a technical pack?
You can attach a technical pack in your email or WhatsApp app after opening the draft. The review site does not receive or store attachments.
