Mens RI-DRY "Classic" Waterproof Hunter Coats

The Ri-Dry Classic coat is essentially the best-selling Ri-Dry Original with a few updated features, including an improved storm flap and a new two-ply outer fabric, helping to keep you warm and dry while in the saddle.

Information and Features

• Strong, tough waterproof outer
• Generous design and cut to allow for comfortable movement when worn over a hunt coat
• Rear pleating to allow the coat to sit over the cantle of the saddle
• Large pockets allow easy access, with waterproof flaps
• Inside phone pocket and internal zipped pocket
• Strong, long front zip with popper storm flap
• Fold-down or stand-up collar with Velcro storm flap fastening
• Velcro storm straps around wrists
• Fully taped and heat-sealed seams throughout
• Poly/cotton lining

There should be no need to order a size larger to accommodate your hunt coat as the sizes are designed with an allowance already. If wearing without a hunt coat underneath, we advise to go down a size.

Care

Before Washing Waterproof Jackets

Empty the pockets of your coat, do up the zips, and fasten any straps or flaps
Check whether the jacket has removable features – such as straps or a hood – that might need to be washed following another method

Prepping Your Waterproof Jacket

Clean off any visible debris or dirt with a brush or cloth. This grit can lodge itself in the waterproof fabric so try to clear it off as best as you can and as quickly as possible after the initial contact. Don’t let your prized waterproof become a soiled mess before you give it a refreshing wipe
Never use an abrasive material to clean waterproof fabric, as this will definitely damage the coating and exacerbate its condition. The best approach is to dip a clean microfibre cloth into warm water and gently wipe the entire surface of the jacket
Always check that there is no leftover washing powder or liquid in the washing machine tray before starting the wash. Regular detergents, powders, and fabric conditioners can also attack the waterproof coating of your jacket, causing it to start absorbing water. To prevent this, you need to use a particular waterproof washing powder or waterproof washing liquid. We advise these specialist cleaning and proofing products designed for the washing of waterproof materials. Don’t forget to thoroughly clean the washing machine compartments before you start the cycle

Washing your Ri-Dry

Our clothing labels will generally advise against machine washing, however, it is possible to wash your Ri-Dry at 30°C which will provide a gentle wash for any stubborn marks. Preferably, you want to choose a slow spin cycle that won’t be so harsh on the jacket.
When the cycle is finished, you can run a dry spin to try to get some of the excess moisture out of the jacket. This will prevent moisture from soaking too long in the fabric. Don’t tumble dry your jacket, as the heat can damage the taping of the seams. Instead, hang it up neatly in a cool, dry place until it is thoroughly dried through.

Aftercare

Once your jacket is washed, you’re good to go. After prolonged use and several washes, however, you may find that the waterproof protection is wearing out. You can use waterproofing products to restore the jacket’s waterproofness.
