VIATERRA Rain Jacket M200 Pro WaterProof Riding Gear

The M200 rain jacket and pants are the ultimate solution for motorcycle riders looking to stay dry and comfortable on the road during the monsoons. Constructed from laminated waterproof fabric rated for 5000 mm water column pressure, this jacket is 100% seam sealed on all joints to prevent water ingress. The breathable design ensures you stay comfortable while riding, even in the heaviest of rain. The pre-curved arms of the M200 rain jacket are thoughtfully designed to provide a snug and comfortable fit over your motorcycle jacket, ensuring that your movements aren’t restricted while you’re on the road. The wider hood provides better coverage, and exhaust vents at the back prevent perspiration.

Sizing

Each brand has its own unique sizing, so we strongly suggest comparing your measurements with our sizing chart to arrive at the suitable size. We have given both the body measurements as well as the garment measurements for each size for your easy reference.

• If you intend to wear the rainwear for regular non-riding use (over everyday clothes), please measure your body & compare the same with our sizing chart.
• If you intend to wear the rainwear over your riding gear, we recommend measuring yourself with the riding gear on & compare the measurements with our sizing chart

Please ensure there is an additional ease of at least 6-10 cm, i.e. the rainwear allows you adequate space & is not fitting tight. You can check this by wearing the rainwear and stretching your arms out in the riding position to confirm there is no noticeable pulling at the shoulders and the torso area. Please check the ease against your intended use case i.e. over regular clothes or over a riding jacket as tight fitting rainwear could lead to faster wear and tear.

Some things to remember while using your rain gear –

• Try to avoid accumulation of water on the rain wear (within folds on the rainwear or at the crotch area on the motorcycle seat), as this might result in ingress of water over time. Smoothening the zipper flaps to avoid folds helps.
• To avoid accumulation of water on the motorcycle seat (at the crotch area) during continuous rain, standing up intermittently helps.
• For comfort, the collar on the rain jacket is not designed to be very tight. To prevent water getting in from this area, tucking in the collar properly under the helmet or alternatively using the hood under the helmet helps.
• You might experience moisture on the inner part of the rainwear caused by condensation due to the temperature differential between the outside atmosphere and your body heat. This is similar to what you can see on a glass of cold water, which develops water beads on the outside. Being a natural phenomenon the same is unavoidable. However this would not be to an extent where you would be completely wet.
• Make sure to choose a rain jacket with a good fit to ensure maximum coverage and protection. A tight fit can be restrictive and uncomfortable, while a loose fit can allow water to seep in.
• Keep the rain jacket clean and well-maintained. Cleaning, drying and storing them properly after each use can help prolong their lifespan and effectiveness.

How to keep your rainwear clean?

• For dirt and stains, wipe clean with a damp cloth and lukewarm water (DO NOT USE HOT WATER)
• DO NOT allow your rainwear to come in contact with solvents (do not use fabric softener!), fuel, or cleaning agents.
• DO NOT use any kind of CHEMICAL or ALCOHOL-BASED product.
• Do not place your rainwear near, or come in contact with a direct heat source
• Dry the rainwear on a hanger away from direct sunlight where there is good ventilation.
• Zippers need to be cleaned and lubricated regularly – you can use vaseline or candle wax

How to store your rainwear?

• Make sure your rainwear is completely dry before you store it.
• Do not store wet or in a non-ventilated area as it allows mildew to grow on the fabric causing discoloration and damage.
• Avoid folding or creasing the fabric when storing the rain wear, as this can cause permanent creases and weaken the coating. Instead, hang the rain wear on a hanger or fold it neatly and lay it flat.
• Regularly check the rain wear for any signs of mildew or mold, and clean it immediately if necessary.
