Product Information

Full details

The Joules Portwell Hooded Raincoat is designed for adult women seeking a practical and stylish solution for wet weather. Its key benefit is reliable waterproof protection with fully taped seams, ensuring you stay dry in any downpour. A potential caveat is that while the main material is a cotton blend, its waterproof nature may lead to reduced breathability compared to technical shells.

FAQs

Is this coat suitable for very cold weather?

The Portwell raincoat is primarily designed for waterproofing and protection from rain. It features a half-body lining but is not heavily insulated, making it best suited for milder wet weather. For colder conditions, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

What is the main material of the coat?

The main outer material is a blend of 74% Cotton and 26% Nylon. The linings are made of 100% Polyester.

How do I adjust the waist fit?

The waist can be adjusted using the internal toggles located on the inside of the coat. Simply pull or loosen these toggles to cinch or release the waist for a desired fit.

Can I put this raincoat in a tumble dryer?

No, the Portwell raincoat should not be put in a tumble dryer. It is best to air dry it away from direct heat sources to maintain its waterproof properties and shape.

How effective is the hood in strong winds?

The hood features an adjustable storm peak and drawcords to help keep it secure and provide good coverage in windy and rainy conditions. For very strong gusts, you may need to tighten the drawcords.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over all the stitch lines on the inside of the garment. This seals any tiny holes made by the needle during construction, ensuring the seams are as waterproof as the fabric itself.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the seams.

Ensure the garment has been washed and dried according to the care instructions. Over time, the waterproof treatment may degrade; consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for cotton blends.

The zip is sticking.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Hood is not staying up in windy conditions.

Tighten the hood drawcords to secure it more firmly. Ensure the storm peak is positioned correctly.

Coat feels stiff after washing.

Ensure fabric softener was not used, as this can affect the fabric. Try a gentle tumble dry on a low heat setting if the care label permits, or hang to air dry away from direct heat.
