While designed for work environments, their waterproof and durable features make them suitable for any outdoor activity where protection from rain is needed, such as hiking or gardening.

Ensure the garment has been washed and cared for according to instructions. Over time, excessive wear or improper cleaning can affect seam integrity. For minor issues, consider a seam sealer suitable for PU-coated fabrics.
