Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about how the Raincho performs in real life? These answers are based directly on customer feedback

The things people wondered about before buying, and what they discovered once they started wearing it. Read all customer feedback in the reviews section.

Most reviewers echo the designer’s advice: choose your size based on height, not body type. The Raincho is intentionally oversized, making it easy to layer over sweaters, jackets, or even a baby bump. Many say it “runs large” at first, but those who size down often find the sleeves too short, exposing shirts to the rain and disrupting the silhouette. Instead, trust the height guide and use the belt for a more sculptural, snugger fit if its seems ovewhelming at first. Remember, you loved this style for this particular look. You’re simply not used to seeing it on yourself.

Yes. Customers often report staying warm with just a thin jumper, thanks to its wind- and waterproof construction. In colder climates, layering with a bodywarmer or knitwear works well, and Norwegian Rain also offers a padded lining that fits all styles. For the harshest winters, consider the Padded Raincho Unisex.

Extremely. From sideways rain in Norway to unpredictable showers in Amsterdam, wearers consistently stay dry. With a 20,000 mm water column rating, the Raincho matches the premium protection levels used in performance outerwear.

Quick guide to water column ratings:

5,000 mm – Handles light rain and short exposure
10,000 mm – Manages moderate to heavy rain, suitable for commuting and outdoor activity
20,000 mm – Protects in all conditions: heavy rain, wet snow, and high pressure (backpacks, movement). Trusted by professionals

It’s what Scandinavians rely on daily: jackets that keep rain out while letting body heat and vapor escape – also known as waterproof yet “breathable”. The result is comfort in all weather. Reviewers praise Norwegian Rain for pushing this category forward — combining technical function with chic, tailored design.

Customers love that it doesn’t resemble typical rainwear. Instead of feeling plasticky, it has a luxurious, tactile quality with volume and drape. Many say it looks closer to designer tailoring or formalwear than technical sportswear. Yet, each of their four different fabric categories has it’s own feeling. 

Opinions vary. Some find it heavier than expected but value the sense of durability, warmth, and protection. Others highlight its lightweight feel. This difference often comes down to fabric choice: Norwegian Rain offers everything from super-light summer jackets to tactile, wool-like fabrics and padded winter coats.


Yes. The breathable fabric works just as well in sun, making it versatile year-round. Many wear it daily as their “No.1 piece of clothing,” even on dry days, because of its bold look and comfort.

  • Multiple roomy pockets inside and out
  • A fully adjustable hood that sits snugly around the face
  • Magnetic closure at the neck for quick weather changes (though some prefer a button)
  • Long sleeves and protective length, keeping even cyclists dry
  • Belts and adjusters for styling (spare belts are available if lost)
  • High-quality zippers and tailoring (though some find pocket placement or zip direction unusual at first)

While it’s a significant investment, customers consistently say it’s worth it. Many see it as a replacement for the cycle of buying new coats every year: a timeless piece designed to last. Not seldomly they even report owning several, proof of the long-term value for money.

Compliments are a recurring theme. Many say they’re not used to being stopped on the street, but strangers often ask about their coat. Customers describe it as “avant-garde,” “designer rainwear”, “modern tailoring” and “clothing as art” — while still being versatile and highly practical.

Yes. From Bergen’s relentless rain to Amsterdam’s cycling weather, Scotland’s wet summers, or California’s mild climate, reviewers say it adapts well. Breathable enough for warm days, protective enough for storms — and with lightweight options for hotter climates.

Reviewers highlight craftsmanship and sustainability, with very few complaints. Some even pass their first Raincho down to others and buy a new one for themselves, proving that these coats are truly built for the long run.
