Frequently Asked Questions About UNIQLO Rainy Season Items

A1: UNIQLO windbreakers feature a water-repellent coating that effectively shields against light rain and drizzle. For heavy rain, we recommend the BLOCKTECH range with seam-sealed tape for enhanced water protection. However, the fabric is not 100% waterproof, and the coating does not last permanently.

A2: UNIQLO uses two specialized technologies — NANODESIGN™, which offers a soft, smooth feel and lighter weight, and BLOCKTECH with a 2.5-layer construction that blocks wind, repels water, and allows breathability all at once. They're also designed to pack away easily and feature versatile styles suitable for any occasion.

A3: Choosing the right windbreaker depends on your needs and situation. Here are 3 main approaches:

By Rain Intensity
Light rain or drizzle: Go for a NANODESIGN™ windbreaker such as the Pocketable UV Protection Parka — lightweight, breathable, and easy to carry. Ideal for daily commutes and everyday use.
Heavy or prolonged rain: Choose a BLOCKTECH rain jacket with 2.5-layer construction and seam-sealed tape for reliable wind and water protection in unpredictable weather.

By Activity
Commuting to work: Pick a rain jacket with a clean, polished design that packs away easily and layers over work outfits without looking bulky.
Traveling: The Pocketable range is lightweight and folds down compactly, saving space in your luggage.
Outdoor activities: Go for BLOCKTECH or Geared Pants, designed for free movement, durability, and protection against changing weather.

By Weight & Portability
Ultra-light: The Pocketable UV Protection Parka uses NANODESIGN™ technology — lightweight and comfortable, perfect for keeping on you at all times.
Pocketable: Many rain jacket styles fold into their own included pouch, saving space and making them easy to carry — great for those who prefer to travel light.
Balance of weight & function: BLOCKTECH offers the best trade-off between manageable weight and maximum water protection.

A4: The BLOCKTECH Parka is the best option for heavy rain. It features 2.5-layer construction with seam-sealed tape for superior water resistance, wind protection, and breathability. It also comes with a water-resistant front zip, making it ideal for unpredictable weather and outdoor activities.

A5: Yes. The Pocketable UV Protection Parka is designed for both sun and rain protection. It offers UV-blocking properties to shield your skin from sunlight, along with a water-repellent coating for light rain — perfect for Thailand's weather, where intense sun and sudden showers often come hand in hand.

A6: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Close all zippers and buttons before washing, and turn the jacket inside out to protect the coating. Air-dry instead of using a tumble dryer to preserve the water-repellent properties.
