The Mountain Equipment Raintower Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, waterproof, and breathable shell for fast-paced mountain activities. Its key benefit is reliable protection from the elements without sacrificing mobility or packability. A potential caveat is its minimalist design, which may omit certain features found in heavier jackets. This jacket utilizes 2.5-layer DRILITE 40D fabric for dependable waterproofing and breathability, featuring an Alpine Fit with articulated sleeves for freedom of movement, a fully adjustable Mountain Hood, and underarm pit zips for ventilation. It includes secure zippered pockets and adjustable cuffs and hem for a personalized fit.

The Raintower Jacket is ideal for fast-paced mountain activities like hiking and trekking where lightweight, waterproof protection and breathability are essential.
The Mountain Hood is fully adjustable. Use the drawcords around the hood opening and at the back to cinch it down for a snug, protective fit around your face.
The Raintower Jacket is a shell designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For cold weather, layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.
It refers to the fabric construction: a waterproof and breathable membrane (DRILITE) laminated to an outer face fabric (40D Nylon), with a protective print or light scrim on the inside (the '.5' layer) for durability and comfort, making it lighter than 3-layer fabrics.
The jacket weighs approximately 350g (12.3oz).
The two large external pockets feature water-resistant zips, offering good protection against light rain, but they are not fully submersible.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR product according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a zipper lubricant stick or beeswax) to the teeth.
Ensure underarm pit zips are open for ventilation. If the issue persists, the external environment may be very humid, or a non-breathable layer underneath could be trapping moisture.
Carefully untangle the drawcords. Store the jacket with cords loosely tied or secured to prevent future tangling.
Setup: The Raintower Jacket requires no specific setup. Ensure all zippers are closed before use and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem to your preferred fit for optimal protection.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer shell and is compatible with various base layers and mid-layers for insulation. Its unisex fit is suitable for adult males.
