FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is made of a polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating, designed for waterproofing.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket offers waterproof protection with sealed seams, making it effective for moderate rain. For extremely heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to harsh weather, additional protective layers or gear might be beneficial.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood typically features drawstrings or toggles that can be tightened or loosened to achieve a snug and protective fit around the face.
Can I wear a thick sweater under this jacket?
The jacket is a size S, designed for adult females. While it can be layered, it's recommended to wear lighter to medium-weight layers underneath for optimal comfort and fit, as it's designed for a streamlined look.
What does the 'fishtail' refer to?
The 'fishtail' refers to the extended, often split, hem at the back of the jacket, resembling the tail of a fish, which adds to its distinctive style and can provide extra coverage.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at max 40°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Always hang to dry. Periodic reapplication of a waterproofing spray is recommended.
What other colors or sizes are available?
This specific product is the Green, Size S variant. Rains offers this fishtail jacket in various other colors and sizes, including unisex options. Please check the product range for available alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams.
Ensure the jacket has not been damaged and that care instructions, especially regarding washing and drying, have been followed. For persistent issues, consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur in high humidity or during strenuous activity. While the jacket is waterproof, it may have limited breathability. Ensure you are not overdressed underneath and allow for ventilation by partially opening the front closure or hood when possible.
Water-repellent finish seems diminished.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) coating may need replenishment. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.
