Rain cape "Wassermann" made of Waxcotton, Petrol
You know the saying "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing"? We say there is bad weather, but we've got something to counteract it!
Additionally, the side opening offers several advantages in terms of freedom of movement and versatility: During rainy hikes, the arms can be kept dry under the front part of the cape. The back area is large enough to accommodate a backpack comfortably, and when it gets windy, the back can be secured around the waist using the two side straps.
The length of the rain cape is designed according to the motto "as short as possible, as long as necessary". While hiking, it shouldn't be too large and cumbersome, but it should cover the knees when sitting. It's also fantastic for leisure activities. Whether hiking with or without a backpack, on a rainy walk with the dog, or especially cycling: The two loops inside the front allow it to be securely held above the handlebars against headwinds, providing a practical canopy that protects the entire body. The hood is ergonomically designed to minimize tendency to fold over the eyes. The face opening can be tightened with an elastic band, and the splash-proof zipper closes up to the chin. To prevent the hood from slipping too far over the face, it has an adjustable strap at the back of the head, allowing for secure and individual adjustment to your head shape.
Waxcotton: The perfect complement to our Loden products
Our Loden has great properties in terms of moisture and wetness, but it does have its limits. So, some time ago, we began searching for a real shield against continuous rain. We found it in rainy England, the birthplace of nasty weather: English Waxcotton, as the name suggests, is made from waxed cotton and has been highly valued for centuries by sailors, farmers, shepherds, and hunters when the weather takes a turn.A rain cape specifically for outdoor use
The design of the cape is aimed at covering as many hiking and everyday situations as possible: It remains open at the sides but is expanded in the upper arm area to create a kind of "canopy" over the arms. This design provides rain protection for the arms while ensuring good ventilation, preventing overheating of the upper body during movement.Additionally, the side opening offers several advantages in terms of freedom of movement and versatility: During rainy hikes, the arms can be kept dry under the front part of the cape.

Impregnation:
If, over time, the wax layer on the rain cape diminishes and no longer provides the desired rain protection, Waxcotton, like a wax jacket, can simply be rewaxed! There are various wax-based impregnation products available in stores that quickly resolve this issue and significantly extend the cape's lifespan. The cape weighs 1022g and can be folded down to 30x20x4cm for convenient transport on top of a backpack.What to expect from waxed fabrics
There is much half-knowledge and some misunderstandings about waxed fabrics, also referred to as Waxed Cotton, Waxcotton, or Waxed Polycotton. We discuss the capabilities of these fabrics in more detail in our STEINKAUZ-Blog.
