FAQs
What type of rain is this jacket best for?
The Rains Pocket Jacket is designed for light to moderate rain and windy conditions. It features a 5000 mm water column rating, making it effective for showers but not recommended for extremely heavy or prolonged rainfall.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket cold at 30°C. Do not use bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Always air dry.
Are the front pockets truly waterproof?
The large front pockets are designed to keep essentials dry in light rain, thanks to their construction and snap closure. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it's advisable to use internal waterproof bags for sensitive items.
What does the 'W3 level' waterproof rating mean?
The W3 level indicates a good standard of water resistance, suitable for everyday rain. A 5000 mm water column means the fabric can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 5-meter column before leaking.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for rain protection. It offers wind resistance but minimal insulation. For colder weather, layering underneath is recommended.
Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?
Yes, the jacket features adjustable elements including a drawstring hem with cord stoppers, snap cuffs, and an adjustable hood with a built-in cap to customize the fit and seal out wind and rain.
What material is the jacket made of?
The Rains Pocket Jacket is made from 100% Polyester with a PU coating, providing a smooth finish and waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not seem waterproof
Ensure all seams are intact and the waterproof zip is fully closed. Note that this jacket is rated for light rain (W3 level, 5000 mm water column) and may not withstand heavy downpours.
Hood adjustment is difficult
Gently pull the drawstring located at the back of the hood. Ensure the cord stoppers are loose enough to allow adjustment before tightening.
Material feels stiff after washing
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely, especially regarding avoiding high heat (no tumble dry, no iron). Allow the jacket to air dry completely.
