FAQs

What is the primary material of the Rains Fishtail Waterproof Jacket?

The jacket is typically made from Rains' signature waterproof fabric, often a blend of polyester and polyurethane, offering a matte finish and excellent water repellency.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

While it offers protection from rain, it is not insulated. It is best suited for mild to cool weather and can be layered with warmer clothing for colder temperatures.

How do I determine if the XL size will fit me?

Refer to the Rains brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements. The XL is generally designed for a comfortable, slightly roomier fit.

Can this jacket be worn in windy conditions?

Yes, the waterproof and wind-resistant fabric provides good protection against wind, helping to keep you comfortable in blustery conditions.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, the Rains Fishtail Waterproof Jacket typically features an adjustable drawstring hood for additional head protection against rain.

What is the length of the fishtail hem?

The fishtail extends lower at the back than the front, providing extra coverage. Specific measurements vary by size but are designed to be functional and stylish.

Are there other colors available in this model?

While this guide focuses on the Blue XL variant, Rains often produces this jacket in various colors and sizes. Please check other listings or the brand's official catalog for available options.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Reapply a suitable water-repellent spray or treatment according to the product's instructions.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Check if the waterproof coating has worn off. Minor seam leaks might be temporarily addressed with seam sealer, but significant issues may indicate the need for replacement.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Gently lubricate the zipper with graphite (pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure you are not wearing excessively thick layers underneath that trap moisture. The jacket's breathability can be affected by humidity and temperature. Wash according to care instructions.
