VS Wear designs and manufactures custom rain jackets with waterproof ratings from 5,000mm through to 20,000mm hydrostatic head protection, genuinely built for Australian wet weather.
Every jacket is produced factory-direct with unlimited design revisions and a fast 3 to 4 week guaranteed turnaround.
From sports clubs and schools through to outdoor teams and organisations, our design team builds rain jackets that keep wearers genuinely dry, not just water-resistant on paper.
Australian weather can turn quickly, and a training session or match that starts under a clear sky can end in genuine heavy rain within the hour. A rain jacket that only markets itself as water-resistant rather than genuinely waterproof leaves your organisation exposed at exactly the moment it matters most. Getting the waterproof rating, seam construction and fabric right on this piece is not a cosmetic decision, it is a functional one that directly affects whether players, coaches and staff stay dry and comfortable through changeable conditions.
As a factory-direct manufacturer, VS Wear cuts out the reseller markup, which is where the 30 to 40% saving on premium quality comes from. It also puts a club in direct contact with the people making the jackets, so the waterproof rating, styling and branding are locked in quickly rather than relayed through a middle layer.
Constructed from PU-coated nylon, TPU membranes and seam-sealed fabrics, our rain jackets are engineered specifically to keep water out, not just slow it down.
Heat-sealed or taped seams prevent water penetration at stitching points, an area that is genuinely the most common failure point on a lower quality rain jacket, since a needle hole left unsealed lets water through regardless of how waterproof the surrounding fabric is. Lightweight packable designs, mid-weight all-purpose styles and heavy-duty options are all available, so your organisation can choose a jacket genuinely suited to how and where it will actually be used.
Waterproof rating is measured in millimetres of hydrostatic head, essentially how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before water begins to penetrate. A 5,000mm rating suits light rain and general weather resistance, while a 20,000mm rating is built for genuinely sustained, heavy downpours where a lower rated fabric would eventually let water through. Our team can talk through which rating suits your organisation's actual conditions during the design consultation, rather than defaulting everyone to the same specification regardless of real-world need.
Choosing the right rating is genuinely worth getting right from the start, since over-specifying adds unnecessary cost while under-specifying leaves your organisation with a jacket that fails exactly when it is needed most. A club training on an exposed, open ground through winter storms has very different needs to a school running occasional outdoor activities in a milder climate, and our design consultation is built around identifying that difference before any garments are produced.
Adjustable hoods with drawcords and peaked visors improve visibility and weather protection, while ventilation panels and pit zips manage internal moisture during active use.
Zippered pockets with water-resistant closures and internal media pockets keep belongings dry and secure, a genuinely practical detail for coaches, officials and staff who need to carry a phone or notes through a wet training session or match. Reflective piping and logos improve visibility in low-light conditions, an important safety consideration for early morning or evening training sessions during shorter winter days.
Ventilation panels and pit zips solve a genuine problem specific to waterproof garments, since a fully sealed jacket that keeps rain out can also trap heat and moisture generated by the wearer's own activity. Managing this internal moisture properly is what separates a rain jacket that stays comfortable through an active training session from one that leaves the wearer just as damp from sweat as they would have been from the rain itself.
Peaked visors on the adjustable hood serve a genuinely practical purpose beyond styling, keeping rain out of the eyes during active movement and improving visibility for coaches and officials who need to watch play closely regardless of conditions. Drawcords let the hood be tightened securely in strong wind, preventing it from blowing back and exposing the head during genuinely severe weather.
Full-colour embroidery and heat transfer logos resistant to water exposure ensure your branding stays intact regardless of weather, suiting a genuinely wide range of organisations.
Sports clubs rely on rain jackets to keep players, coaches and officials dry and functional through wet weather fixtures that cannot always be postponed. Schools use rain jackets as part of outdoor education and sport programs, where students and staff need reliable protection regardless of forecast changes. Outdoor teams and organisations working in exposed conditions, from surf clubs to outdoor event staff, depend on genuine waterproof performance rather than a jacket that only holds up to light drizzle. We have supplied rain jackets to organisations across a genuinely wide range of sizes and needs, from small community clubs needing coverage for a handful of coaching staff through to larger schools and associations outfitting entire squads or year groups for a full winter season of outdoor activity.
Care instructions are provided for maintaining waterproof performance, since a rain jacket's water resistance genuinely depends on how it is washed and stored over time.
Waterproof coatings and membranes can degrade if a jacket is washed with the wrong detergent, dried on excessive heat, or left folded and damp for extended periods, so following the supplied care guidance genuinely matters for the long-term performance of the garment. Rebranding services are available for existing rain jackets, useful for organisations wanting to refresh a logo or update sponsor branding on jackets that are otherwise still in good working condition. This can be a genuinely cost-effective alternative to a full replacement order when the underlying waterproof performance of the existing jackets is still sound and only the branding needs updating.
Rigorous waterproof testing, seam inspection and quality validation take place before every dispatch, so your organisation receives jackets that genuinely perform as specified.
This testing step matters because a waterproof rating on paper means little if the finished garment has not actually been checked for seam integrity and coating consistency before it reaches your team. We treat this validation as a non-negotiable part of production, not an optional extra, since a rain jacket that fails to keep water out has failed at the one job it was specifically ordered to do.
