Material Stories

Every layer plays a role. The outer shell beads water so droplets slide off with one shake; the membrane below blocks pressure while letting humid air escape; the lining guards the coat’s shape on crowded commutes.

Our PU membrane is tuned for the Indian monsoon: a hydrostatic head strong enough for bus-stop bursts, yet flexible so it won’t crinkle or stiffen in cooler hill stations. Seam tape is heat-set at lower temps to preserve hand feel and lasts through repeated flex cycles. Where possible we blend recycled yarns into the face fabric; the result is a soft-matte surface that hides scuffs and keeps color deep after many rides.

  • Ripstop 40D: light, tear resistant, DWR finish.
  • PU membrane: waterproof + breathable, quiet in motion.
  • Soft lining: reduces cling and protects seams.

Travel Fold Guide

A clean fold keeps coatings intact and gear ready the moment clouds turn.

After a ride, give your umbrella one sharp shake, then half close it so air moves between panels. For coats, align sleeves along the seams and fold along the stitched channels rather than forcing new creases. This preserves the membrane and avoids stress on tape edges. If you’re packing for a night bus, slide the coat into a breathable pouch — not a tight plastic wrap — so humidity can escape.

  • Align: match panels edge-to-edge.
  • Roll: start at the hood toward the hem.
  • Vent: leave the pouch slightly open for 10 minutes.

Care Mini

Quick rituals that keep coatings alive and zips smooth.

  1. Rinse salt: fresh water after coastal rides.
  2. Air dry: shade only — no heat.
  3. Refresh DWR: light spray, then cure per label.
  4. Zip lube: a tiny bead along the teeth.

Monsoon Set Builder

Build a calm commute: one umbrella, one shell, one carry piece. Each role is tuned to a specific moment — gusty crossings, steady drizzle, or a sprint to the metro.

Start with the frame: if your lane sees cross-drafts, pick a wind-biased canopy with flex tips. For the coat, choose a vented yoke for humid cities or a tighter hood for coastlines. Carry either a sling or a small pack, but keep a wet pocket for the shell so electronics stay dry.

  • 1 — Shelter: pick canopy span for your shoulder width.
  • 2 — Breathability: vents for crowds, tighter hood for spray.
  • 3 — Carry: drain channels and quick-access sleeve.

Monsoon Care Handbook

Make gear last longer with small, repeatable habits. A minute at the door saves a season of fray — and keeps zips and seams calm when the city turns silver.

Start with a quick shake to clear beads, then leave space for air. When coastal spray sneaks into teeth and tape edges, use fresh water and patience — harsh heat shortens a coat’s life. Most issues we see at the bench are preventable: gritty sliders, folded membranes, and damp pockets sealed too soon.

A simple routine after each ride keeps performance predictable: rinse, vent, refresh, store. If something still feels off, our two-season Rain Warranty covers windframe tunes and seam retape — bring it by and we’ll sort it.

  • Rinse: fresh water for zips and hardware after salt or puddles.
  • Vent: half-open canopy / unzipped coat in shade for 10–15 minutes.
  • Refresh: light DWR spray when beading weakens; cure per label.
  • Store: breathable sleeve — never tight plastic wraps overnight.
