Rain doesn't stop the job.
Whether you're working on rail infrastructure, electrical utilities, mining operations or emergency response, crews still need to be out there when the weather turns. The challenge is that wet conditions introduce another layer of risk. Clothing becomes heavier, visibility drops, and if your wet weather gear isn't built for hazardous environments, it can compromise the very protection you're relying on.
That's why FR/ARC wet weather workwear isn't simply about staying dry. It's about maintaining certified protection, visibility and comfort while working safely in demanding conditions.
That's the standard Tuffa's FR/ARC Wet Weather range is built to deliver.
Why Waterproof Construction Matters
Not all rain gear is created equal.
Many jackets are advertised as water resistant, which may be enough for light showers or occasional outdoor work. But sustained rain quickly exposes their weakest point: the seams.
Every stitch creates tiny needle holes. Without proper sealing, water eventually finds its way through, leaving the wearer wet even when the outer fabric remains waterproof.
Tuffa's ARC-rated wet weather jackets feature fully seam-sealed construction that prevents water from tracking through these vulnerable areas. Combined with a multi-layer waterproof design, the jacket maintains its performance during prolonged exposure to wet conditions, not just the first hour of rain.
For workers spending entire shifts outdoors, that difference matters.
Built for Real Working Conditions
Wet weather PPE gets worked harder than almost any other garment.
It's constantly layered over FR clothing, removed and reapplied throughout changing conditions, exposed to mud, machinery and repeated industrial laundering. Every design feature needs to earn its place.
The Tuffa Wet Weather Jacket (PPE2) includes:
- Fully seam-sealed waterproof construction
- Multi-layer wet weather protection
- Stand-up storm collar
- Storm flap with touch tape closure
- Twin shoulder radio loops
- Chest radio pocket and twin waist pockets
- Adjustable sleeve tabs
- Segmented heat-applied FR reflective tape
- Back harness access point
- ATPV rating of 17 cal/cm²
- Matching waterproof trousers available in Navy/Orange and Navy/Yellow
Rather than adding unnecessary extras, every feature is designed around how workers actually use their PPE in the field.
FR Protection Doesn't Stop Because It's Raining
Rain creates additional challenges, but it shouldn't reduce protection.
Electrical workers, utilities crews and maintenance teams still require garments that maintain compliance with flame resistant and arc flash standards while providing waterproof protection.
Tuffa's FR wet weather workwear is certified to:
- EN ISO 11612
- ASTM F1891
- NFPA 70E PPE2
- EN ISO 1149-5
- AS/NZS 1906.4:2010
These certifications mean workers don't have to choose between staying dry and remaining protected. The waterproof layer is designed to work alongside the flame resistant and ARC-rated properties required on hazardous job sites.
More Than a Wet Weather Jacket
Protective clothing should continue performing long after it's issued.
With more than 50 years of experience manufacturing FR and ARC-rated workwear for Australian industry, Tuffa supports customers beyond the initial purchase.
The wet weather range is backed by:
- 24/7 technical support
- Garment inspection services
- Repair and recertification programs
- Updates as compliance standards evolve
- 12-month replacement warranty (conditions apply)
It's an approach that helps businesses maximise the working life of their PPE while maintaining compliance over time.
Stay Protected When the Weather Changes
Bad weather doesn't make hazardous work any less hazardous.
The right FR/ARC wet weather workwear allows crews to remain protected from rain while maintaining the flame resistant, ARC-rated performance required for high-risk environments.
Whether you're working in utilities, rail, mining or heavy industry, investing in properly certified waterproof PPE helps ensure your workforce stays safe, compliant and comfortable throughout every shift.
