FAQs
Is the jacket machine washable?
While it can be cleaned, it is recommended to hand wash or wipe down with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the waterproof coating.
Does this jacket have an insulated lining?
No, this is a lightweight rain shell designed to be worn over existing clothing layers.
How do I use the pack-away hood?
The hood can be folded and secured within the collar area of the jacket when not in use.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features a generous fit to allow for layers underneath; if you prefer a slimmer profile, you may want to consider sizing down.
What material is used for this jacket?
The jacket is crafted from high-quality, water-resistant polyester.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, but because it is not insulated, it is intended to be used as a waterproof outer shell over warm thermal layers.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric surface.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off; consider applying a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for rainwear.
Interior feels damp despite the jacket being waterproof.
This is often due to condensation buildup during high exertion; ensure the vented back yoke is clear and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Portwest Classic Rain Jacket, proper care is essential. Always hang the jacket to dry naturally after exposure to heavy rain; avoid placing it near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof coating. If the jacket becomes soiled, wipe it down with a damp cloth or hand wash it in cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-repellent finish. For storage, ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it to prevent mildew, especially when using the pack-away hood feature.
