Rains
Long Raincoat
The Rains Long Raincoat is a knee-length, waterproof jacket for urban commuting and wet weather, made with a lightweight matte-finish waterproof fabric, ultrasonically welded seams, a snap-button front placket, flap pockets, adjustable cuffs, underarm eyelets, and a hood with visor. User feedback notes it provides reliable rain protection in downpours but lacks breathability, which can lead to sweating during active use, and is heavier and less packable than performance rain jackets. Some reviewers also report durability concerns over time, making it best suited for city wear rather than hiking or strenuous outdoor activities.

Product Insights
Rains' Long Raincoat is a design heritage piece unchanged since 2012, ubiquitous in Copenhagen, offering a minimalist, unisex silhouette with ultrasonic welded seams and a matte finish for urban commuting in wet weather. Its lightweight W3-rated 180g fabric (4000mm) keeps commuters dry in downpours, but lacks breathability, causing sweating in mild rain. The unlined interior requires layering; size down for a tailored fit. While the PU coating can last 4+ years with cold washing and air-drying out of UV, it may degrade in a year without proper care or peel/crack over time. Users report shoulder seam leakage in prolonged heavy rain, and the 95–105 cm length limits packability for travel. Best for cool, wet climates and bike or transit commutes, not for hiking or active use. The long coat covers the lower back; the snap closure may pop open. Muted neutral colors and a 2-year warranty complete the package.

outoria.com- Coating longevity
PU coating lasts 4+ years when washed cold and air-dried out of direct UV.
Why this is supported
Rains provides multiple care guidelines to preserve the PU coating: machine wash cold (30°C) with the jacket turned inside out, air dry away from direct sunlight, and iron only with a cotton pressing cloth on low heat.
Use a cold water programme (30°C / 85°F).
au.rains.comDirect UV exposure and storing the jacket damp can cause coating peeling or cracking, so complete drying in the shade is crucial.
Direct sunlight can cause the PU coating to crack or peel.
grundens.comA long-term user reports the coat stays functional and good-looking after more than 4 years of daily use in rainy climates.
Rains are the perfect rain jackets imo. Got mine when my usual rain coat (which survived Netherlands weather!) couldn’t cut it in the incessant Danish rain, and it’s been the best purchase of the last 4 years.
u/_skylark in r/femalefashionadvice- Warranty
2-year warranty and no own-channel discounts.
Why this is supported
Rains backs the Long Raincoat with a standard 2-year warranty and a policy of never discounting through its own channels, signaling confidence in long-term quality.
All of our products have a 2 year warranty as standard. Furthermore, we never go into sale through any of our own channels.
libertylondon.com- Machine washing
Machine wash cold with inside-out; hand-wipe for light soil.
Why this is supported

How should the Rains Long Raincoat be cleaned and maintained? Does the polyurethane coating degrade over time?- Drying and storage
Air-dry thoroughly; avoid tumble drying and direct sunlight.
Why this is supported
The PU coating is sensitive to heat; the guide specifically warns to
Never use a dryer or expose your outerwear to high heat, as this can damage the coating.
grundens.comInstead, air drying is essential:
Hang to air dry completely before storing to prevent mould or mildew.
au.rains.comAlso, direct sunlight should be avoided because
Direct sunlight can cause the PU coating to crack or peel.
grundens.comThis combination of air drying fully and storing away from UV light preserves the coating.
- Ironing
Iron on low; use a cotton pressing cloth on the outside.
Why this is supported
The care guide permits ironing on low heat. For the outside, it recommends to
place a cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the waterproof functionality.

- Hiking unsuitability
Not suitable for hiking; the PU coating and boxy cut restrict mobility and cause overheating.

Good coat overall
This is a nice weight for a rain jacket, folds up nicely. My only issue is the snap closures on the wrist either make the sleeves very tight or super loose. The body is roomy, I wear a size small comfortably with a large hoodie underneath.

Good coat for the rein
Stylist and actually works!
I've been searching for the right rainjacket for so long and finally found it. I'm the long and lanky type, so 90% of the rainjackets out there will have arms too short for me, its the first thing I look, but this jacket was perfect and actually left me with some of the cuff past my wrists! Its a miracle! I love the colour and most importantly, it keeps me dry. My only complaint would be that the closure is only snap buttons. While they are stylist and cute, it takes a fair amout of time to button up them all. I wish there was a zipper closure along with the buttons for extra security and ease

Jacket is one layer thin. Definitely fits slightly oversized. Feels a bit too thin for the price tag.

Great fit for tall girlies
I read another review that this jacket is great if you’re tall and it was right! Love when the arms are nice and long and overall the jacket looks and feels really nice.
Worth it!
Very stylish as well as practical. Love the unique colour. Fits a little large which allows for another layer if needed.

Nice quality, beautiful color, but very light weight. In most places in Canada great for summer, but where I live wearing a sweater or hoodie under it is suffice.

Long raincoat
Long raincoat is lightweight and a nice length. The hood has a viser on it which helps keep water off your face. This is especially nice if you wear glasses. Folds up eadily so will he great for traveling .
Very nice raincoat
Really happy with the look of this raincoat! I originally ordered a medium, I found it too big so I exchange it for a small. Looking forward to trying it out in the west-coast rain to see how it performs
Great quality raincoat!
Loved the fabric and the color (green) , not heavyweight just perfect for a good rain protection; would pack well too for traveling. Unfortunately I had to returned ad the pockets fall too low fir my height (5’3 ) and the sleeves would need challenging alterations due to snaps. I would recommend to a taller person for an ideal fit.

Reddit Insights
6 threads · r/femalefashionadvice, r/WomenofIreland, r/AusFemaleFashion, r/malefashionadvice, r/hiking, r/onebagReddit users generally praise Rains raincoats for their stylish appearance and solid waterproofing in urban settings, but criticize their lack of breathability, weight, and occasional durability issues.
While many appreciate the fashion-forward design and reliable rain protection for city living, the common complaints about breathability, unsuitability for active use, and some quality concerns temper the overall enthusiasm.
Themes
Use Cases
- Urban commuting
- Festivals and casual wear
- Travel (with limitations due to bulk)
Watch Out For
Compared To
vs Patagonia
Patagonia is favored for outdoor activities due to better breathability and mobility; Rains is seen as more stylish but less functional for hiking.
vs Stutterheim
Both are stylish, non-breathable urban rainwear; Stutterheim is heavier and pricier, while Rains is lighter but still lacks breathability.

I currently have 3, a festival one, a dark colour for winter and a light colour for summer (I live in Galway). They are expensive but 100% worth it and actually look cool. Also the standard ones are very light so great for throwing over a big jumper.

Unbreathable but works in downpour
I love mine too. The only thing it being so waterproof is it's completely unbreathable. I sweat so much in it but works a charm in downpour.

Rains is like a pretty tarpaulin
These seem to be the best for stylish urban raincoats that are non-breathable, non-GoreTex. They are polyester or lined PVC, with Stutterheim being the premium and more expensive brand. Rains is like wearing a pretty tarpaulin.

Designed for commuting, not hiking
RAINS is a Scandinavian brand designed to for people to bike/public transit commute in really wet, windy weather. I have a RAINS raincoat and backpack that keeps me perfectly dry through Amsterdam fall/winter/spring. That being said, I also have a Patagonia raincoat that I use for hiking because it works better for the mobility you need while hiking. I think it depends on where you will be wearing your raincoat the most.

Stylish but heavy and not breathable
We saw Rains jackets EVERYWHERE in Copenhagen. I even went to a Rains store. The style everyone wears there has snaps, no zipper which is a deal breaker for me. The jacket was definitely distinct. It didn’t feel like it would breathe well at all and it felt heavier than one of the Patagonia jackets.
