Abstract

This study is to understand the problems of current police raincoats for professional policemen and conscripted policemen. Interviews and a survey were completed to investigate the wearing conditions of current police raincoats. The questionnaire was composed of questions on current wearing conditions of raincoat, motional adaptability, dimensional compatibility, design suitability and demographic information on the research target. The results indicated that the wearing frequency of raincoats had significant difference according to duty and age range. The main reason for the low wearing frequency was the uncomfortableness of working while wearing the raincoat, followed by the inconvenience of managing the raincoat after use and feeling hot while wearing the raincoat. The three most important factors when wearing a raincoat was pleasantness, activity capability and the functionality of the fabric. The satisfaction on body parts during motions tended to be evaluated lower as the raincoat size increased. The results of the dissatisfaction factors indicated that the raincoat hood had the most problems. There was inconvenience when using the equipment belt because officers have to wear their belts inside the raincoat. In regards to the fabric satisfaction level, respondents were less satisfied with ventilation, hygroscopicity, and drying time. Therefor it appeared that the current raincoat had problems due a lack of functionality in regards to ventilation, hygroscopicity, and quick drying; in addition, the satisfaction on motional adaptability had a significant difference according to raincoat size.
