Full details

This lightweight unisex black rain jacket is designed for adults seeking protection from the elements without added bulk.

A potential caveat is that it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may eventually saturate the material.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and drizzle effectively. For prolonged or heavy downpours, it may not provide complete protection.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not use fabric softeners.

Can I wear this over a thicker layer?

The jacket is designed with a unisex fit and can be layered over lighter clothing. For very thick layers, consider sizing up depending on your desired fit.

What does 'packable' mean?

'Packable' means the jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a small size, making it easy to carry in a bag or backpack without taking up much space.

What is the difference between water-resistant and waterproof?

Water-resistant materials repel water to a certain extent but can eventually become saturated. Waterproof materials are designed to prevent water penetration entirely, even under significant pressure.

How often should I reapply water-repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, it's a good time to reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric

The jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a more robust option. The water-repellent treatment may also need reapplication. Follow the care instructions to re-treat the fabric.

Jacket feels stiff or loses its smooth texture

This can happen if fabric softener was used during washing. Always use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. If stiffness persists, a gentle rinse may help.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if needed.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the water-resistant properties and longevity of your jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-resistant treatment.
  3. Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the water-resistant finish may diminish. Consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment designed for outdoor apparel if you notice water is no longer beading effectively.
