Is the Low Rider Duster actually waterproof?

Yes. The oilskin cotton is infused with oil so water beads off, and the cotton lining keeps the wax off your clothes. Heavy sustained rain can eventually soak seams, so re-oil it when the fabric starts absorbing water.

Can I wear it in the saddle?

That is what it is built for. The detachable cape and rear saddle gusset open the coat over a horse, and the leg straps keep the skirt from flapping.

How does it compare with a synthetic rain shell?

The oilskin is heavier and less breathable but far more durable and wind-resistant, and it looks like a traditional stock coat. A nylon shell packs smaller and dries faster but will not last as long.

How do I keep the oilskin waterproof?

Clean it with cold water and a brush, let it dry, then work in Duck Back Oilskin Dressing or a similar wax dressing, paying attention to shoulders and seams.

What sizes and lengths does it come in?

It is sold in men's sizes across the range, with the long duster cut falling below the knee. Check the brand's size chart, since the coat is meant to layer over shirts and sweaters.

Will the wax rub off on my clothes or car seat?

New oilskin can leave a waxy feel on light fabrics and seats. Let it air out before first heavy use and avoid pressing it against pale upholstery when warm.
