Our take on the Rains Alta Long Puffer
The Rains Alta Long Puffer is a women's full-length puffer made from Rains' signature polyurethane-coated shell, so it is waterproof rather than merely water-resistant. It has a two-way zipper, drawstring adjustments and a fleece lining over synthetic fill. It suits commuters and city walkers who want rain protection in a long silhouette. Against down parkas it is lighter and fully rainproof, but it relies on synthetic fill for warmth and the coated shell does not breathe like a technical hardshell.
- Fully waterproof polyurethane-coated shell
- Long length covers the legs
- Two-way zipper and drawstring adjust the fit
- Fleece lining adds comfort
- Synthetic fill handles damp weather better than down
- Less breathable than a membrane hardshell

Questions and answers
- Is the Rains Alta Long Puffer actually waterproof?
- Yes. The polyurethane-coated shell is designed as waterproof, not just water-resistant, so it handles sustained rain better than a standard puffer.
- How warm is it compared with a down parka?
- Less warm. The synthetic fill and fleece lining suit cool, wet weather, but a high-fill down parka holds heat better in hard frost.
- Does it breathe well?
- Not especially. The coated fabric traps moisture, so it can feel clammy if you walk fast or cycle in it.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is offered in a women's size range from small to large. The long fit runs roomy enough to layer a sweater underneath.
- What is the two-way zipper for?
- It lets you open the coat from the bottom for easier walking or sitting, and the drawstring adjusts the fit.
- Can I wear it over a suit or blazer?
- Yes. The long, roomy cut layers over tailoring, though the stiff shell adds bulk at the shoulders.
