Product Information
Full details
The DLX Carlotta Padded Rainwear Jacket is designed for adult women who require high-performance protection during outdoor activities in wet and unpredictable weather. This jacket excels by providing a robust combination of 20,000mm waterproofing and 10,000mvp breathability, ensuring you remain dry without overheating. While its advanced technical specs make it an excellent choice for rainy excursions, potential buyers should note that as a padded garment, it is best suited for cooler climates rather than warm-weather layering.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but use a low-temperature cycle with a gentle detergent specifically formulated for waterproof technical clothing.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
The jacket features warm padding, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extreme, sub-zero temperatures, consider adding a thermal base layer underneath.
What does 20000mm waterproofing mean?
This rating indicates the jacket can withstand the pressure of a 20,000mm column of water before leakage occurs, confirming it is fully waterproof in heavy rain.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar to provide better seal against the elements.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. Use a measuring tape to check your chest and waist dimensions against the provided sizing chart to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for light layering.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh technical waterproof re-proofer.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during heavy exertion
While highly breathable, ensure you are not over-layering underneath. Remove a mid-layer to help the membrane regulate your body temperature more efficiently.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for debris or dirt in the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft brush. Ensure no internal fabric lining is caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your DLX Carlotta Padded Rainwear Jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear. Avoid heavy-duty detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof treatment.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic insulation.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reapplied. Use a reputable technical fabric spray to restore water beading properties.
- Storage: Always store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not store the jacket while it is damp or compressed for extended periods, as this may affect the loft of the internal padding.
