FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
The Rains Long Jacket is considered waterproof due to its signature PU fabric and fully welded seams, offering protection against heavy downpours.
How should I determine my size?
The jacket has a regular, unisex fit that can be generous. It's designed for layering, so consider your typical layering habits. If you prefer a less roomy fit, you may wish to size down. Refer to Rains' official size chart for detailed measurements.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket provides wind and rain protection but is not insulated. It is best suited for mild to cool weather. For colder conditions, layer it over warm clothing such as a fleece or sweater.
How do I clean the jacket?
Gently wipe the jacket with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the material and seams. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the fishtail hem?
The fishtail hem provides extra coverage at the back, helping to keep your legs and backside dry when sitting or walking in the rain.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the two side pockets feature snap fastenings, providing a secure closure to keep items like keys or a phone protected from the rain.
What does 'welded seams' mean for the jacket's performance?
Welded seams mean that instead of traditional stitching, the fabric edges are bonded together using a method that fuses them, creating a waterproof seal. This significantly enhances the jacket's ability to keep water out.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or sticky
This can occur due to temperature changes or storage conditions. Try storing it at room temperature for a while. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth may help if it's surface stickiness.
Water seeping through seams
Although unlikely with welded seams, ensure the seams are not damaged. Contact customer support if damage is suspected, as this compromises the jacket's waterproofing.
Hood is not providing adequate coverage
Adjust the drawstring on the hood for a tighter fit around the face. Ensure the built-in cap is positioned correctly.
Snaps are difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the snaps are properly aligned before fastening. If they feel excessively tight, they may loosen slightly with use, but avoid forcing them.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the jacket clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the PU coating and welded seams. If absolutely necessary, use a gentle cycle at a low temperature (max 30°C), but hand cleaning is preferred.
- Drying: Always air dry the jacket. Hang it on a padded hanger away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Never tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably hung to avoid creasing the PU material.
