FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the HELLY TECH construction is designed to be wind-resistant in addition to being waterproof.
Can I use this for hiking?
It is suitable for light hiking and casual outdoor use, though it is primarily styled and engineered for urban environments.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The Koster Rain Jacket features external hand pockets with YKK zippers; it does not include a dedicated internal security pocket.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable in cold water, but you must avoid using fabric softeners.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-repellent treatment is manufactured without the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated. Try tumble drying the jacket on low heat, as the warmth helps restore the coating.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure the ventilation is not blocked by heavy clothing layers and avoid wearing non-breathable materials underneath, which can trap perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Koster Rain Jacket is ready to wear immediately. To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, follow these care steps:
- Machine Wash: Use cold water settings to protect the fabric construction.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat as it can damage the seam sealing.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the breathable pores of the fabric and compromise water-repellent performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape and longevity of the polyester material.
