Waterproof Arc Flash Clothing
The Vailos ARC Flash Waterproof Range has been developed to provide advanced multi-hazard protection in harsh and changing weather environments, combining ARC flash protection with waterproof, windproof, breathable, and flame resistant performance for industrial workers operating outdoors.
Vailos ARC Flash Waterproof Range
Designed for the utilities, rail, renewable energy, oil & gas, infrastructure, and industrial sectors, the range is engineered to support workers across a wide range of climates and operational conditions — from wet and windy UK winters, to colder Nordic environments, through to warmer Southern European climates including Spain and Mediterranean regions.
Manufactured by Vailos, the collection primarily focuses on inherent FR waterproof fabric technologies, offering long-term flame resistant protection built into the fabric itself rather than relying on chemical treatments. The range includes breathable waterproof garments certified up to EN 343 Class 4:3 performance levels, helping deliver high levels of waterproof protection alongside wearer comfort during extended use.
Vailos is also developing next-generation ARC flash waterproof systems designed to compete with premium membrane technologies, including upcoming Gore-Tex Pyrad equivalent solutions aimed at delivering lightweight, breathable, high-performance multi-hazard protection for demanding industrial applications.
The collection is available across multiple garment formats including:
-
Waterproof ARC Flash Jackets
-
ARC Flash Waterproof Trousers
-
Salopettes
-
Overtrousers
-
Winter Systems
-
Layering Solutions
Both men’s and ladies’ fit options are available, supporting improved comfort and ergonomics across diverse workforces.
Many garments within the range are designed with interactive zip-in compatibility, allowing users to integrate insulated liners, softshell jackets, fleeces, or thermal layers to create versatile 3-in-1 systems suitable for both winter and summer working conditions. This modular approach helps organisations standardise PPE systems across multiple seasons and operating environments while improving wearer comfort and flexibility.
The Vailos ARC Flash Waterproof Range is designed to meet relevant European PPE standards including EN 61482, EN ISO 11612, EN 1149, EN ISO 20471, and EN 343 where applicable. All garments are CE certified and manufactured under a Module D certified Cat III PPE quality system, supporting compliant supply into both UK and European markets.
Alongside standard collections, Vailos also offers bespoke waterproof ARC flash garment solutions including custom designs, branding, fabric engineering, and project-specific developments tailored to end-user operational risks, environmental challenges, and layering requirements.
