FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The Rains Long Jacket W3 has a waterproof column rating of 4,000mm, offering good protection against rain.

Is this jacket insulated for cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection and does not feature significant insulation. It is best worn over other layers for warmth in colder conditions.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean. Iron at a low temperature.

What does 'straight fit' mean?

A straight fit means the jacket has a uniform width from the chest down to the hem, without tapering or significant shaping.

Can this jacket be worn by women?

While the product information specifies 'Male' in some variants, the design is often considered unisex. However, it's important to check the specific measurements and fit, as it's described with a straight fit which might differ from typical women's sizing.

What are the dimensions and fit like?

The jacket has a straight fit and an extended length for increased coverage. The length is typically around 94cm, but this can vary slightly by size.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are designed with double flaps, which helps to protect the contents from rain. However, it is always advisable to keep electronic devices in a waterproof pouch if exposed to heavy or prolonged rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with PU-coated fabrics. Ensure you are following the gentle wash and low-temperature ironing instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat.

Water appears to be seeping through.

Check the seams and fastening points. Ensure all press studs are securely fastened. For very heavy downpours, prolonged exposure might test the limits of the 4,000mm waterproof rating.

Hood is not providing adequate coverage.

Adjust the drawstring on the hood for a tighter, more secure fit around the face. Ensure the hood is pulled fully over the head.
