Full details
The Rains Fishtail Parka is an ideal choice for urban commuters and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize a clean, minimalist aesthetic combined with reliable weather protection. Featuring Rains' signature waterproof PU fabric and a functional fishtail design, this parka keeps you dry during daily commutes or light outdoor activities. While it offers excellent windproofing and water resistance for moderate rain, it is specifically designed for light to moderate precipitation (W3 rating) rather than extreme storm conditions.

FAQs
Is this parka completely waterproof?
It is rated W3, which means it provides protection against moderate rainfall, but it is not designed to be submerged in water or used in extreme storms.
Does it have a lining?
The Fishtail Parka is designed to be lightweight and typically features a smooth internal finish without a heavy insulating lining.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
We recommend against machine washing. Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt to protect the integrity of the welded seams and PU material.
Is it windproof?
Yes, the fabric is windproof and provides effective protection against windchill.
How should the fit feel?
The parka has a casual, elegant drape. It is intentionally designed to be spacious enough for comfortable movement and light layering.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the material
Check if the fabric surface is heavily soiled; cleaning it with a damp cloth may restore the water-repellent performance of the PU finish.
Snap fastenings become difficult to close
Ensure the placket is aligned correctly and check for any debris inside the snap mechanism that may be obstructing the closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The parka is a 'wear and go' garment requiring no specialized setup. To ensure the longevity of the waterproof PU material, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use strong detergents or solvents as they may strip the waterproof coating.
- Storage: Always store the parka in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent potential moisture buildup or material degradation.
- Compatibility: The casual fit allows for easy layering of light hoodies or mid-layers underneath, making it versatile for changing seasonal temperatures.
- Avoiding Heat: Keep away from high heat sources such as radiators or irons, as extreme temperatures can damage the signature PU finish.
