FAQs
Is the Rains Banja T1 Bomber waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and damp conditions, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I wash this jacket in the machine?
Yes, but always check the specific care tag on your garment. Generally, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
What does the hangar loop strap do?
The hangar loop is a signature feature that allows you to attach the bomber as a liner inside compatible Rains outerwear for increased warmth.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
It is designed as a lightweight, transitional piece. It works best in mild to cool weather or as an additional layer under a heavy coat in winter.
Does the jacket fit true to size?
The Banja T1 is designed with a pillowy, relaxed silhouette, which typically aligns with standard sizing. If you prefer a tighter fit for layering underneath, consider your usual size.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
The water-repellent coating can wear off over time; consider applying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for nylon.
Stubborn stains on the nylon fabric
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently blot the stain, then rinse with a fresh damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
Ribbed collar or cuffs losing shape
Avoid stretching the ribbing excessively while wet; air dry flat to ensure the fabric retains its original elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Rains jacket in optimal condition, treat it as a technical garment. For light cleaning, simply wipe the nylon exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt or salt. When deep cleaning is required, follow the manufacturer's care label, usually involving a delicate cycle with gentle detergent. Avoid using heavy softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish. When storing, hang the jacket using a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the quilted padding. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before placing it into long-term storage to prevent moisture-related odors.
