FAQs

What is the water column rating for this jacket?

The Rains Long Jacket W3 has a water column rating of 5000 mm, indicating excellent waterproof performance.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but it does not offer significant insulation. It is best layered with warm clothing for cold weather.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Do not use fabric softener or impregnation additives.

Can this jacket be worn by men?

While listed for women, the jacket's design is unisex, and men may find it suitable depending on fit preference and sizing. Check the specific dimensions.

What does 'Ultrasonic taped seams' mean?

This refers to a construction method where seams are sealed using high-frequency sound waves, creating a strong, watertight bond that enhances the jacket's waterproofing.

Are the ventilation holes adjustable?

The underarm and back yoke ventilation holes are designed for passive airflow and are not typically adjustable.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the surface.

This may indicate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is wearing off. Follow the care instructions carefully, and consider a reproofing treatment designed for waterproof fabrics if performance significantly diminishes over time.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Ensure all ventilation points (underarm and back yoke) are open. While the jacket is breathable, high humidity or strenuous activity can still lead to some moisture buildup. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Avoid using excessive force.
