Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
It is built to be waterproof, with 100% taped seams that seal the stitch holes where water usually gets through. Combined with the adjustable hood and hem, it is made to keep you dry in sustained rain, not just a light drizzle. For the longest life, reproof the outer fabric once water stops beading on it.
What does "taped seams" mean and why does it matter?
When a jacket is sewn, the needle leaves tiny holes along every seam that water can seep through. Taped seams cover those stitch lines with a sealed strip, closing off the most common leak points. A jacket can use a waterproof fabric and still leak without them, which is why the 100% taped construction matters here.
Is the rain jacket packable?
Yes. It is a lightweight build that folds down small enough to stash in a bag or truck, so you can carry it for the days the weather turns. That makes it easy to keep on hand without it taking up much room. It pulls on quickly over a hoodie or tee when the rain starts.
Can I wear layers underneath it?
The jacket is cut with room to layer over a hoodie or mid-layer, so it works across a range of temperatures. Sizing up slightly gives you more space for a thicker layer in colder, wetter conditions. As a shell, it is meant to go over your insulating layers rather than replace them.
How do I keep the waterproofing working?
Wash it only when needed, on a gentle cold cycle, and skip fabric softener, which clogs the fabric and hurts water repellency. When water stops beading on the surface, refresh it with a wash-in or spray-on waterproofing made for technical shells. Air dry or use low heat according to the care label.
Does the jacket come in different colors?
It is offered in Combat Iron's own camo pattern in a full-zip design. Color and pattern options can change with stock and future versions. Check the product page for the variants currently available before ordering.
Are Combat Iron rain jackets waterproof?
They are built to keep you dry in the rain. The exact waterproof rating and weather features vary by style, so check each product page for the full details before you buy.
Are they packable or lightweight?
It depends on the style. Some rain jackets are built to pack down small for carrying, while others prioritise coverage and durability. The product page for each jacket lists its weight and whether it packs away.
Are they good for the outdoors and the field, not just the rain?
Yes. They are built for active outdoor use, training, range days and everyday wear, with weatherproof protection and an athletic fit that moves with you.
How should a rain jacket fit, and do they run true to size?
A rain jacket should have enough room to layer a top or hoodie underneath without feeling tight. Combat Iron's are cut in an athletic fit that runs true to size for most people, with full measurements on each product page.
