FAQ's:
Are waterproof jackets really waterproof?
Yes. We use in our garments only the highest-grade laminates, such as GORE-TEX. We thoroughly test the gear in a controlled environment, then put it to real-life testing to ensure it performs at the best possible level.
Why does my rain jacket get wet inside?
Most times wetting of the middle and base layers is not caused by water finding its way in from the outside. Instead, it’s usually the result of a physiological/physical process.
Specifically, under certain circumstances, the human body produces more sweat than the laminate is able to carry away to the jacket’s hard-shell outer face.
You can see this for yourself by engaging in some physically demanding outdoor activities while wearing your waterproof jacket when it’s not raining and the temperature is around -5°C.

What do you wear under a rain jacket?
We recommend you wear a high-quality merino undershirt as the base layer when wearing a Rain Jacket. Merino wool has excellent moisture wicking properties that in effect increase the moisture-evaporating surface area of your body.
For mid-layers, what you should wear under the rain jacket depends on your activity level and the outside temperature.
See our Combat Shirts and Tactical Softshell Jackets for more options.
What should you wear in heavy rain?
Our Monsoon XT Gen.2 Tactical Rain Jacket is the optimal choice for heavy rain.
Built from 100% waterproof laminates and offering you additional features (like air/pac® inserts and our unique Hood/Harness® system), these jackets will definitely help you out in harsh conditions.
How long should a GORE-TEX jacket last?
GORE-TEX membranes come guaranteed to remain waterproof for their usable lifetime when given proper care. By waterproof, GORE-TEX means no water from the outside will penetrate to the inside.
Proper care means washing your waterproof garments regularly and following the manufacturers’ washing instructions. Doing so preserves the outer DWR coating. The DWR coating reduces the fabric’s surface tension. This causes water to simply roll off.

Can I machine wash my Monsoon Rain Pants?
Yes. Washing actually helps your garment stay in top condition. Just make sure you follow the instructions printed on the garment’s care tag. If you’re not sure what the symbols on the tag mean, you can read about them here.
Do I need any additional waterproof treatment on my Monsoon rain pants?
No. Our Monsoon gear comes pre-treated with DWR (durable water repellent) coating. You can read more about the DWR coating in our blog post here.
What type of waterproof materials do you use in your Monsoon rain pants?
We use only high-performance 2.5- and/or 3-layer waterproof, breathable laminates. Read more about the laminates we use in our garments in this blog post.
