The Best Rain Jackets for Women

In the Netherlands, it rains quite often, so investing in a rain jacket is no luxury. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but make sure your rain jacket meets certain requirements. For example, it should be waterproof and windproof. Waterproof rain jackets for women can often be identified by their material and waterproof coating. Want to know if the women's rain jacket you have your eye on is waterproof? Check its waterproof rating. You can read more about this in our blog. If a long rain jacket for women has taped seams, you can almost be sure it’s a good choice. This means the inside of the seam is sealed, preventing water from seeping through. Additionally, it’s nice if the rain jacket is breathable, keeping it fresh and comfortable.

How Do I Clean My Women’s Rain Jacket?

A waterproof coating is perfect for staying dry, but it does require special care when cleaning your rain jacket. A hardshell or softshell rain jacket for women tends to get dirty more quickly than a regular coat, so the coating needs proper maintenance. If you notice that water no longer beads off your jacket but instead soaks into the fabric, it’s time to re-impregnate your jacket. This will apply a new protective layer. Always check the care label and ensure your washing machine is clean to avoid soap residue. Never use washing powder or fabric softener, and let your rain jacket air-dry.
