FAQs
Is the Rains W3 Jacket suitable for heavy rain?
It is designed for light to moderate rain. While water-resistant and seam-sealed, it is not a heavy-duty professional foul-weather garment.
How should I store the jacket?
Hang it on a wide coat hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
It is recommended to wipe clean or hand wash to preserve the integrity of the waterproof fabric and heat-sealed seams.
What does the 'regular fit' mean?
It means the jacket has a standard, comfortable cut that allows for normal movement and the ability to wear a light sweater underneath.
Does the jacket come in different sizes?
Yes, it is available in various sizes; always refer to the specific size guide for the best fit.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The pockets are designed to keep items dry in normal rain conditions, but they are not fully submersible or airtight.
Troubleshooting
Water spots or surface dirt
Wipe the surface gently with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing.
Jacket feels stiff after storage
Gently shake or hang the garment in a warm room; the material will soften with use.
Condensation inside the jacket
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath and utilize the underarm eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Rains W3 arrives ready to wear; simply adjust the snap-button cuffs to your preference. As this is a regular fit, it comfortably accommodates light layers underneath. To maintain the waterproof performance, avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. We recommend wiping the jacket clean with a damp cloth or hand-washing it with mild soap if necessary. Always allow the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could damage the heat-sealed seams or the waterproof coating.
