They are fine for women, but make sure your hips will fit the bottom hem girth, or size up. A women's specific version is also available here.
- Rain gear should only be washed as needed, after a few trips or if you notice that the DWR is not as effective as when new.
- Machine wash with Grangers Wash+Repel or similar product.
- Tumble dry or line dry.

Excellent customer service, excellent bit of kit. I’ve used it now in snow and cold - kept me dry, and helped as an outer wind blocking layer. Delighted with this

Took the jacket and pants out in a tropical storm this week. At no stage did I get cold from the wind. It was 26 degrees Celsius though. The underarm zips helped with cooling. The length was great enough to not get my hands wet and the hood was able to be tightened over my cap to stay on in the breeze.

Perfect quality and lightweight

Perfect fit, seems don't leak.

This is a very effective rain jacket and breathes exceptionally well. My only complaint would be that it does nothing to block wind. In its function as a a rain jacket, however, it beaded rain for five hours of continuous downpour and never wetted out. I’m a believer.
