ALL ABOUT RAIN SKIRTS AND PONCHOS:
What are they made out of?
A 100% recycled polyester softshell material that is lined with fleece. It is certified by REPREVE, a trusted supplier in recycled products, as this fabric repurposes single use plastics.
If the fabric is made from recycled plastics, is it going to be comfortable to wear?
This material has been engineered to be breathable for comfort. It is not stiff, it is soft to the touch, and is slightly stretchy for movement. You wouldn't know its polyester.
How do I wash the rain material?
If extra dirty or muddy, I reccommend soaking in warm/hot water with a little stain remover (ex: Oxy) for a couple hours to help the dirt to get softer. Rinse and repeat as you feel necessary. You may need to scrub at the dirt some as the white regalia can stain a little.
Then turn the garment inside out and transfer it to your washer for a COLD cycle.
Finally hang to dry. Once dry, you may press it from the exterior side with an iron *set to the polyester setting* to get any wrinkles out.
What is its waterproof rating?
This fabric’s waterproof rating (also known as W.P.R) is over 10,000, putting it in the “normal” waterproofing range.
What is its flammability?
Most synthetic fibers are naturally flame-retardant, but will eventually melt when too hot. Synthetic fibers burn at a much higher temperature than natural fibers. This fabric will begin to melt at 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit).
Having said that, please do not wear this skirt if you are a fire keeper at your sacred ceremonies.
