Monsoon Guide — Care & Use
Rain gear lasts longer when it dries smarter. After each commute, shake off surface water and hang your umbrella partly open so air circulates through the canopy. Raincoats prefer shade: wipe splashes with a damp cloth, then air-dry on a wide hanger to protect the shoulder line. Avoid pressing the fabric with heat—DWR finishes do not like irons—and skip harsh detergents that strip coatings. If seams ever lift, a quick pass with repair tape can seal the path before the next downpour.
Packing for travel? Fold along the stitched channels rather than forcing new creases. For coastal cities with salty spray, a monthly rinse in fresh water keeps zips smooth. Store gear loosely in a breathable pouch; a tight wrap traps humidity and can age elastics. Treat your monsoon tools like instruments and they will play through many seasons.
Remove musty odors without washing
Air the coat outdoors in shade for 1–2 hours, then place it overnight with a small sachet of baking soda in a breathable bag.
Revive beading after a season
Clean gently, dry fully, then apply a water-repellent spray formulated for technical shells. Cure per label.
Umbrella etiquette in crowds
Close partially before entering coaches and tilt leeward at doorways to keep drips off neighbors.

Mechanics — Built to Flex
Ribs, handle, canopy — three parts, one calm commute.
Reinforced Ribs
Flex-tips skim wind energy away from the canopy and snap back without kinks.
Ergo Handle
Soft-touch grip, wrist loop, and balanced core reduce hand fatigue on long walks.
Beading Canopy
Tight weave plus DWR makes water pearl and slide off with a single shake.
Winds curve across the subcontinent from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. DrizzleLab tunes canopies to pivot with gusts, not fight them.
Repair Kiosk
Patch, tape, and tune — keep gear in service for many seasons.
Kit — On the Go
Mini roll of seam tape, patch set, alcohol wipe, and loop thread.
- 10-min field repair
- Clean, heat, seal
Patch & Seal
Transparent edge adhesive melts into the weave and stays flexible.
- No stiff corners
- Waterproof edge
Ethics & Sourcing
Transparent lines from yarn to yoke with verified audits.
- Recycled content: shells include post-consumer fiber where performance allows.
- Worker safety: audited facilities with emergency training and PPE.
- Fewer miles: hubs near fabric mills reduce freight and wait.

Rain Warranty
Two monsoon seasons of calm use — we repair wind frames, replace tips, and retape seams.
- Windframe fix: rib or joint tune within 48 hours.
- Seam retape: free once per coat if leakage appears.
- Spare parts: wrist loops, sliders, end caps always in stock.
What’s not covered?
Heat damage, burns, or cuts from tools. Normal surface scuffs are cosmetic.
Designing for the Indian Monsoon
We build for crowded platforms, side-gusts at crossings, and long walks between stops. That means quiet fabrics, joints that flex back without kinks, and coatings that prefer shade to heat.
Most failures we see are simple: zips with grit from puddles, tape edges cooked by air dryers, canopies folded too tight while still damp. The fix is small habit, not heavy gear — shake, vent, rinse, store. Our repair bench tracks these patterns and folds them into the next batch.
India’s rain isn’t one mood. Coastal spray demands protected teeth and fresh-water rinses; inland gusts need medium spans with flex tips; hill stations want vented yokes so heat can leave without clap or crinkle.
- Use less force: let the joint do the work; avoid wrenching canopies shut.
- Prefer shade: cure DWR lightly — heat shortens membrane life.
- Rinse after salt: sliders last longer with a quick pass of fresh water.
- Store to breathe: half-open for 10 minutes before sleeves or pouches.
Two seasons of calm rain — that’s our promise.
