Caribe waterproof mesh lined raincoat
Palm trees, clear blue waters, soft white sand, colonial buildings washed in mustard paint, bougainvillea flowers - meet your next favourite raincoat - the Caribe. This coat will have you bringing the Caribbean sunshine no matter the weather!
Tell me quick:
Conscious fashion at its best - recycled plastic is used to create the lightweight outer waterproof fabric as well as the soft grey mesh lining.
All the deets:
Packable perfection. This rain jacket will fit in the tiniest of spots and weighing in at approx. 500g, is great to have with you for those unexpected, sparkly showers.
- Waterproof to 10 000mm (high), seam sealed (no water can reach you through the seams) and treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) means you won't get wet in a downpour with water beading off you like a duck's back. This is our highest rated waterproof level.
- Breathable to let water vapour escape while you're getting from home to work or whiling time away at the farmer's market on Saturday morning.
- Printed layer of fabric and mesh lining are both made from recycled plastic - this is feel good fashion all the way. Scribbler is so proud to finally be able to offer this to you.
- Reflective elements on side pockets, chest and back so that cars and others can see you in low light. New reflective edging on cuff.
- Two-way front zipper (YKK - cos they're the best) - so you can ride your bike/horse or sit in your car/a bus comfortably
- New hood shape with 3-way adjustable hood - because nobody wants water in their eyes when they're trying to see in front of them in a rain shower. Our new hood shape was based on research from our Scribbler fans - better peripheral vision, back of head adjustability and peak adjustability
- Zippered side pockets to keep your valuables dry and safe when out and about
- Internal pocket - for those extra special valuables you want to keep close to your heart (quite literally!)
- Storm flap over the front zip to keep things water tight for you
- Hidden elasticated cuffs to keep water from running down your arm (and cold shivers up your spine!)
- Palm cut out cuff for ease of use now with reflective on edge
- Longer back scoop to protect you even more when moving about
- Chin guard to protect your chin from the gorgeous yellow zip
Rae wears a size 8 (S) and Lan wears a size 16 (2XL).
Sizing: our styles are all slim fit, but check our sizing guide for help.

GARMENT CARE:
To clean your coat we recommend washing with Nikwax Tech Wash. Then, if your jacket requires DWR re-proofing, wash with Nikwax TX.Direct. We sell a care bundle here with everything you need.
See our garment care guide here.
We know that sometimes when you're online shopping, you need to ask a couple of questions, so here are some that we get regularly. Hope these help. :)
An item is sold out - will you bring out any more like this?
We don't reprint any of our fabrics/styles in order to keep them unique and special. This way, you and your friends won't have the exact same coat! :)
Why are so many items sold out?
We are a small business and don't work in the same way as larger brands and companies. We take our time developing new styles and like to ensure everything is 'just so' before pressing 'play' on any production. We don't follow trends and try to create items that are timeless, beautiful and functional. We also don't do large production runs to ensure items are kept special and unique. You might need to wait a little longer for our new ranges, but we believe it is worth it!
Where can I try on your products?
We don't have our own stores, but we have some amazing stockists around New Zealand that have selected Scribbler products in stock. Take a look at this page to see if there is a store near you.
I have bought the wrong size - can I exchange for a different size?
If it's been less than 30 days, you haven't worn the item (it is in new, unworn condition) and it has all its original swing tags attached we will gladly do a size exchange (stock permitting). Please follow instructions within our refunds/exchange policy here: https://scribblergear.com/pages/returns-policy or start the returns process now: https://scribblergear.com/a/return
I am unsure which size to order... can you help?
We know online shopping can sometimes feel hard when it comes to sizing. To help with this, we have developed comprehensive size guides with measurements for each of our sizes and styles to give you as much detail as possible. You can find this here: https://scribblergear.com/pages/raincoat-sizing-chart
Can I see prices in my local currency?
You can see prices in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP and USD by following these instructions:
Personal Computer/Tablet/iPad: In the top right hand corner it shows NZD with a small arrow next to it. Click on the arrow and you will see options to change the currency shown. Easy as!
Mobile Phone: Scroll to the very bottom of the page and you will see text: New Zealand (NZD $) with a small arrow. Click on the arrow and you will see options to change currency.
Which payment options do you offer?
At Scribbler we have tried to make payment as easy and stress-free as possible. You are able to pay using the following:

What is the best way to care for my Scribbler product?
Great question! We create products to last. Please refer to the care label within your product for instructions on how to best care for your Scribbler product. We have put together the following guide to help you look after your Scribbler coat. Read here: https://scribblergear.com/pages/how-to-care-for-your-waterproof-jacket
Are the colours and print placements on screen the same as in person?
We try our very best to colour match how garments are shown on our website, however, we cannot guarantee that they are a perfect match. Not all monitors show colours in the same way.
Many of our styles have repeat patterns all over. We cannot guarantee that these will always look exactly the same as in website photography. The placement of fabric for cutting will vary, making each item unique.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes indeed we do! You can buy vouchers in the following denominations: $50, $75, $100, $200 and $250. Buy here: https://scribblergear.com/collections/the-scribbler-online-gift-card/products/gift-card
Can I send an item as a gift?
You sure can! Just ensure you enter the recipients address as the shipping address and your address as the billing address. Ask us about gift wrapping - kiaora@scribblergear.com
Can Scribbler cancel an order I've made?
This is quite a rare occurrence, but it does happen from time to time when many people order the same item at the same time. Our system can over sell in error. You will usually receive an email from us letting you know, and offering you the option to exchange for another item or have a full refund.
Where do you ship to?
We ship worldwide!

Customer Reviews
Caribe Waterproof Jkt
Wow I love my colourful Scribbler Jkt ,great fit & lightweight, it's perfect . Shona H
Incredible quality
I have to say I am in love with my new rain jacket! Not only is it bloody gorgeous but it’s incredibly well designed and well thought out. I have tried in the past to find a rain jacket that works with my curves but they have always fell short, but this one is so flattering. I’ve had so many compliments from wearing it. Not often do you find something that has been so well designed, functional and flattering !
Colour fun!
Love this raincoat! The colours are really nice - people constantly notice and like the warm, cheerful look. Excellent water/windproof features. I really like this raincoat!
Worth it
I got this jacket and it is everything I hoped - the quality is outstanding and the make is markedly different (and better) than any other rain jacket I’ve had. Everything has been thought of, the best bit is the hood which sits off your face and keeps the rain off beautifully. The sleeves are also very smartly done. I get compliments on it everywhere I go!
Excellent quality
Love my scribbler jacket, quality is excellent and fit is perfect. Thoroughly recommend these jackets.
Scribbler Gear
Thank you so much for your review Carol - we are delighted you love your jacket so much!
