WHY CHOOSE NYLON & POLYESTER RAINCOATS?
Built for All-Weather Protection & Longevity
When it comes to keeping teams and clients dry during Europe’s unpredictable weather, waterproof nylon and polyester consistently outperform standard fabrics. Nylon raincoats provide industry-leading waterproof ratings up to 5000mm, while premium polyester models deliver reliable protection at 3000mm. Advanced seam-sealing ensures not a single drop leaks through, even after hundreds of wears.
Raincoats with reinforced, detachable hoods and ripstop patterns resist tearing on outdoor excursions or during repeated bulk handling. These technical features translate to fewer returns, higher staff satisfaction, and longer service life—especially critical for B2B deployments.
Material Performance Comparison
Waterproof Ratings: Nylon vs. Polyester
1. Basic Material Properties
1.1 Mechanical Performance
Property | Nylon (Polyamide) | Polyester (PET) |
---|---|---|
Tensile Strength | High (53–88 cN/dtex); superior impact resistance | High (2.6–8.0 cN/dtex); retains strength in wet conditions |
Elasticity | Excellent recovery (5–6% elongation); retains shape after deformation | Moderate; less elastic than nylon but better dimensional stability |
Abrasion Resistance | Best among synthetic fibers (10x cotton, 140x wet rayon) | High, but inferior to nylon |
Moisture Absorption | 4–4.5%; better comfort in humid conditions | 0.4–0.6%; hydrophobic, quick-drying |
1.2 Thermal & Chemical Resistance
Nylon: Melts at ~250°C; degrades in strong acids but resists alkalis
Polyester: Stable up to 260°C; resistant to acids and weak alkalis
2. Waterproof Performance with Coatings
2.1 Uncoated Fabrics
Metric | Nylon | Polyester |
---|---|---|
Hydrostatic Head | Moderate (1,000–2,000 mmH₂O) | Low (500–1,500 mmH₂O) |
Breathability | Moderate (3,000–5,000 g/m²/24h) | Poor (1,000–3,000 g/m²/24h) |
Nylon’s inherent moisture-wicking properties provide better breathability, while polyester’s low absorption limits passive waterproofing.
2.2 Coated Fabrics
Common Coating Technologies:
PU (Polyurethane): Improves water resistance but reduces breathability.
PTFE (e.g., Gore-Tex, eVent): Microporous membranes balance waterproofing and breathability.
Nanocoating: Hydrophobic surface treatment for lightweight water repellency.
Performance Comparison by Coating:
Coating Type | Nylon Performance | Polyester Performance |
---|---|---|
PU Coating | Hydrostatic head: 5,000–8,000 mmH₂O; Breathability: 2,000–4,000 g/m²/24h | Hydrostatic head: 4,000–7,000 mmH₂O; Breathability: 1,500–3,500 g/m²/24h |
PTFE Membrane | Hydrostatic head: 20,000–30,000 mmH₂O; Breathability: 10,000–15,000 g/m²/24h | Hydrostatic head: 18,000–25,000 mmH₂O; Breathability: 8,000–12,000 g/m²/24h |
Nanocoating | Hydrostatic head: 3,000–5,000 mmH₂O; non-breathable | Hydrostatic head: 2,000–4,000 mmH₂O; non-breathable |
Key Insight: Nylon outperforms polyester in PTFE-coated applications due to its flexibility and adhesion to microporous membranes. Polyester excels in PU coatings for cost-effective waterproofing
3. Advanced Applications
3.1 Nylon Innovations
Nomex Blends: Adding Nomex short fibers enhances abrasion resistance but slightly reduces hydrostatic head
Conductive Composites: Nylon 6/poly(pyrrole) nanotubes achieve conductivity (0.002 S/cm) without sacrificing waterproofing
3.2 Polyester Innovations
PLA Hybrids: Bio-based PLA coatings improve sustainability but require trade-offs in durability
High-Density Weaves: Tightly woven polyester with nano-SiO₂ coatings achieves 30,000 mmH₂O hydrostatic resistance

5. Conclusion
Nylon excels in high-stress, breathable waterproofing (e.g., Gore-Tex mountaineering gear), while polyester dominates cost-sensitive applications with PU coatings. Innovations like conductive nylon and bio-polyesters are expanding their roles in smart textiles and sustainable fashion
