Product Information
Full details
The DLX Carlotta Padded Rainwear Jacket is designed for adult women who need a reliable, insulated layer for wet and cold outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of water-resistant protection and warmth provided by the internal padding, ensuring comfort during unpredictable weather. One caveat to keep in mind is that while it is highly functional for rain and wind, it is constructed from polyester and is best suited for casual outdoor use rather than extreme alpine mountaineering.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is designed to offer robust protection against rain, but it is classified as rainwear rather than a fully seam-sealed technical garment for extreme storm conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry, but you may use a low-heat tumble dry setting if necessary to refresh the water-resistant coating.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is constructed from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and weather-resistant properties.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing conventions. Use your regular apparel size as a reference, or check the size chart if you prefer a looser fit for extra layering.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' style, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket for maximum weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating; wash the garment and tumble dry on a low heat setting to refresh the treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clean any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a light silicone lubricant or rub a pencil lead along the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no technical setup; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-resistant finish of the outer fabric.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the padding from clumping.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its shape.
- Compatibility: The jacket fits true to size for standard adult layering. If you intend to wear heavy sweaters underneath, consider your usual sizing relative to your base layer preferences.
