Ilse Jacobsen Rain37 Soft Shell Raincoat

Ilse Jacobsen writes: "This functional three-quarter length raincoat, made of breathable and stretchable soft shell material, has a comfortable and feminine shape with raglan sleeves, a slightly tailored waist and a centre back slit with press studs for freedom of movement. All seams are taped.  The YKK AquaGuard 2-way zipper makes it easy for you to sit comfortably, and ride your bike. The fabric surface is treated with an Ecorepel dirt and water repellent coating that creates an invisible shield. Taped seams keep the water from penetrating, leaving you happy and dry. This is a style for you, weather you prefer biking or golfing, shopping or strolling. Available in a myriad of colours, it is hard not to get moving in the rain. Composition: Shell 94% Polyester, 6% Elastane. Bonding 100% Soft Polyester fleece. Functionality: W/P 5000 mm, M/P 3000 g/m2."

We find the fit is slightly small to size if you prefer room for layering, or true to size for more snug fit; compared to the similar but more tailored style, Rain07, this style is a little more relaxed. We also have a selection of this style with contrast lining and zips, listed under Rain37B.
