Rainkiss Anorak - Dark Leopard
Description
The Dark Leopard is a hot new print from Rainkiss, that is designed to bring out your wild side.
Not only is the looks and quality of a Rainkiss Jacket important but also how it's made. Rainkiss only work with sustainable materials and 100% recycled polyesters. Unlike polyester that uses petrochemical products, loads of water and has quite toxic by-products, recycled polyester uses PET (bottles) as the raw material; recycling them so it doesn't end up in landfills or the ocean.
Breathability & Care – Your Questions Answered
Is this jacket breathable?
The Rainkiss Anorak is made from a lightweight recycled polyester shell with a water-repellent finish. Like most waterproof outerwear, it prioritises keeping rain out over actively wicking moisture away from your body. It is not an insulated jacket, so airflow around the body is better than a lined alternative, but it does not have dedicated mesh vents or a breathable laminate membrane. It is best suited to light activity — commuting, festivals, sightseeing — rather than high-output exercise such as trail running or cycling.
Will I still sweat inside it?
In warm or humid conditions, or during brisk activity, some warmth and moisture can build up inside any close-fitting waterproof shell. The anorak's relaxed fit and open hem help ventilation, but if you run hot or plan vigorous exercise in the rain, consider layering with a lightweight moisture-wicking base layer underneath to keep comfortable.
How is waterproof protection different from breathability?
Waterproof protection is measured by how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before leaking — the Rainkiss Anorak has taped seams and a 10,000 mm waterproof column, which handles sustained heavy rain. Breathability refers to how easily water vapour (body heat and sweat) can escape outward through the fabric. These two properties work in opposite directions: sealing a fabric against rain also slows moisture vapour moving out. The Rainkiss range is optimised for reliable rain protection in a packable, everyday format.
How do I wash this jacket?
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 °C or below using a mild liquid detergent — avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the water-repellent finish.
- Wash inside-out to protect the printed surface.
- Zip up any zips and fasten any poppers before washing.
- For full care instructions specific to your garment, always check the care label.
Can I tumble dry it?
Check your garment's care label first. If tumble drying is permitted, use a low heat setting only. A short tumble after washing can help reactivate the DWR (durable water-repellent) finish. Air drying flat or hanging is the safest default option if you are unsure.
The water no longer beads off — do I need to reproof it?
Over time and with repeated washing, the DWR coating that makes water bead up and roll off can diminish. When you notice water soaking into the outer fabric rather than beading, it is time to reproof. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR reproofing product suitable for recycled polyester. Always wash the jacket first, then apply the proofer according to the product instructions. This restores the water-repellent performance without replacing the underlying waterproof protection of the fabric.
How should I care for the printed surface?
- Always wash inside-out to protect the Dark Leopard print from abrasion in the drum.
- Avoid ironing directly on the print — if the garment needs pressing, turn inside-out and use a cool iron or press cloth.
- Do not dry clean, and avoid harsh solvents or stain removers directly on the printed area.
- Store loosely folded or hanging rather than compressed for long periods, to avoid cracking the print over time.
