FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The Rains Long Jacket W3 has a waterproof column rating of 4,000mm, making it suitable for showerproof protection.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and designed for rain protection. It does not have significant insulation and is best suited for mild to cool temperatures, or for layering over warmer clothing in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at a maximum of 40°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning. Always hang it to air dry and do not iron directly on the material.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?
Regular fit means the jacket is designed to be a standard fit, not too tight and not too loose. It allows for comfortable movement and layering but is not intentionally oversized.
Can I adjust the hood?
Yes, the hood features a drawstring that allows you to adjust its fit for better protection against the elements.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have press-stud fastenings for security. While the jacket material is waterproof, it is always advisable to protect sensitive items from direct moisture exposure.
What is the length of the jacket?
The length of the jacket is 94cm.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like candle wax or beeswax) or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
Water is seeping through the seams.
Check if the seams are damaged. While the jacket is waterproof, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or damage to the seams may allow water ingress. Ensure the jacket is properly cared for according to instructions.
Jacket has an odor.
Air out the jacket in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists, follow the machine washing instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Press-studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the press-studs are clean and free from debris. If they feel particularly tight, try gently wiggling them while fastening/unfastening. Avoid forcing them, as this could cause damage.
