Product Overview
The Iona Rain Jacket 100cm is a sophisticated solution for professionals requiring extended coverage against the elements without the burden of a heavy, restrictive coat. Measuring 100cm in length, this jacket provides significantly more protection than a standard waist-length garment, making it an ideal choice for those working in exposed conditions where rain and wind are constant factors. Despite its generous coverage, the jacket is constructed from a lightweight fabric that ensures you can remain mobile and comfortable throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Extended 100cm length: Offers enhanced protection for the upper legs and seat, ensuring you stay dry even in driving rain.
- Pack-away hood: Provides immediate versatility, allowing for quick deployment when weather conditions deteriorate and neat storage when the sun emerges.
- Large storage pockets: Engineered to keep your essential tools and personal items secure and shielded from moisture.
- Vented back yoke and eyelets: Integrated ventilation points allow for critical airflow, preventing the buildup of internal heat and moisture for a more comfortable experience during physical activity.
- Enhanced visibility: Specifically designed to ensure the wearer is more easily noticed in low-light environments, increasing overall safety on site.
Design & Performance
The design philosophy behind the Iona Rain Jacket focuses on the balance between total waterproof protection and wearer breathability. The lightweight fabric is chosen for its ability to repel water effectively while remaining supple enough for ease of movement. The inclusion of a vented back yoke and underarm eyelets is a deliberate technical choice, addressing the common issue of condensation inside waterproof garments. By allowing warm air to escape, the jacket maintains a more consistent internal temperature.
Why No Customisation?
This particular rain jacket is offered without customisation to preserve the technical integrity of the waterproof fabric. Standard embroidery or heat-pressing can occasionally compromise the water-resistant barriers or seam-sealing of lightweight rainwear. By providing this item as-is, we ensure that the garment performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer, offering you maximum protection from the weather.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for site supervisors, logistics personnel, and maintenance teams who require a reliable outer layer that can be quickly donned over existing workwear. Its longer length makes it especially practical for those who are frequently moving between indoor and outdoor locations or standing for long periods in wet conditions.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend considering your typical layering system. As a lightweight shell, this jacket is often worn over sweatshirts or fleeces; choosing a size that allows for this will ensure you maintain full range of movement. The 4XL sizing is generous, catering for those who require a broader fit or need to accommodate substantial under-layers.
Caring for your product
To ensure the Iona Rain Jacket continues to provide reliable waterproof protection, it is essential to keep the fabric clean. Dirt and oils can occasionally mask the water-repellent finish, so a gentle wash according to the manufacturer's instructions is recommended when the garment becomes soiled.
We advise against the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and interfere with the ventilation properties of the eyelets and vented yoke. For the best results, allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape and performance of the fabric over the long term.
