- What makes oilskin different from a standard rain jacket?
- Oilskin is cotton canvas treated with wax and oil, so it sheds rain while staying breathable and quiet. It is heavier than a synthetic shell and needs occasional re-waxing, but it resists snags and thorns and softens with age.
- What does the Low Rider cut change compared with a full-length duster?
- The Low Rider is cut shorter and split for riding, so it clears a saddle and lets you move without the hem catching. It keeps the storm flap, cape back and deep pockets of a full duster.
- How should I care for an oilskin coat?
- Wipe off mud with a damp cloth and cold water, and never machine wash or dry clean it, since that strips the wax. Hang it to dry away from direct heat, and re-wax worn areas when water stops beading.
- Does Outback Trading Co back its coats with a warranty?
- Outback Trading Co covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and the retailer you buy from handles the claim. Normal wear, and wax wearing off through use, is not a defect.
- Can I return an oilskin duster if the fit is wrong?
- Returns follow the policy of the store you buy from, so check that store's window and condition rules before ordering. Keep the tags on and try the coat indoors, since worn or wax-marked coats are often refused.
- Are there Outback Trading Co discount codes?
- Deal.ai checks what Outback Trading Co products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
