FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the jacket is constructed with 3L fabric and taped seams, offering a 10,000 mm water column rating, which makes it highly effective against moderate rain.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket. High heat from a tumble dryer can potentially damage the taped seams and the waterproof coating.
Does it have an inside pocket?
The jacket features side and front pockets with zip closures for external storage, but please check the specific internal lining for additional security pockets.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a fixed feature of the Suva design, though it is adjustable via a drawstring.
How should I store the jacket?
Store the jacket on a clean hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and prevent moisture buildup.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical re-proofing spray designed for hardshell outerwear to restore water beading.
Zip closure feels stiff or sticks
Clear any debris from the zip teeth and ensure the fabric is not caught. If necessary, apply a small amount of non-greasy zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rains Suva jacket, always follow the care label instructions provided inside the garment. Because the fabric features a water-resistant coating, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the material's protective properties. For minor dirt, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is typically sufficient. If a deeper wash is required, use a gentle cycle with a mild, technical garment detergent. Always allow the jacket to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Because this is a hardshell garment, it fits well as a top layer over mid-weight sweaters or long-sleeve shirts during transitional seasons.
