What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The Rains Long Jacket W3 has a waterproof column of 4,000mm, making it suitable for moderate rain.
Is this jacket suitable for very heavy rain?
While showerproof, the 4,000mm rating is best suited for moderate rain. For torrential downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating would be more appropriate.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester with a PU coating.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features a drawstring that can be tightened or loosened to achieve a secure and comfortable fit around your head.
What are the pocket closures?
The jacket has two side pockets that close with press-studs for secure storage.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this jacket is designed for water and wind protection and does not feature insulation. It is best worn over layers for warmth.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seams are leaking.
Ensure the waterproof column rating (4,000mm) is suitable for the intensity of the rain. For persistent leaks at seams, consider using a seam sealer designed for waterproof fabrics, although this may affect the jacket's flexibility.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels sticky or tacky.
This can occur over time due to heat or humidity. Ensure the jacket is stored in a cool, dry place. If the stickiness is minor, wiping with a damp cloth might help. Avoid exposing the jacket to prolonged high temperatures.
Water is not beading on the surface.
The water-repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for PU-coated fabrics, following the product's instructions.
