FAQs
Is this coat suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the coat features a fully waterproof outer shell with taped seams, specifically designed to handle heavy downpours.
Can I adjust the waist for a slimmer fit?
Yes, there is an integrated internal waist adjuster that allows you to cinch the coat for a more tailored silhouette.
How should I clean my raincoat?
Use a gentle or delicate machine wash cycle with mild liquid detergent. Always remove faux fur trim and close all zippers before starting the wash.
Does the hood provide enough coverage?
The hood features an integrated peak and adjustable drawcords to provide excellent coverage and protection for your face during wind and rain.
Is the fabric stiff?
No, the coat is designed with a soft, flexible matte texture that moves comfortably with your body.
What is the benefit of the drop-tail hem?
The drop-tail hem is longer at the back to offer enhanced coverage and protection, especially when sitting down on damp surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the fabric surface
The outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing. Ensure the coat is clean and try re-treating it with a specialized waterproof spray.
Difficulty zipping the front closure
Check the zipper track for any trapped fabric or debris. If the slider is stiff, a tiny amount of dry lubricant or graphite from a pencil can help ease movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joules Portwell Raincoat retains its protective qualities, proper care is essential. Before washing, always remove any faux fur trim and ensure all zippers and buttons are securely closed to prevent damage to the fabric or the machine. Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water and a mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners. When drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer. To maintain the waterproof finish, avoid ironing or dry cleaning. When not in use, store the coat on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape.
