Btw I also once owned the dark version of this (now just have the grey desert). I wore it in rain with a white CCP shirt underneath. Result - green staining to the shirt. Only happened once though (caught in rain again but no staining to under garment).

Thanks a lot for the advice Eton and Peasant! I will make sure to follow it. You saved my parka!
Thankfully I didn't order it in hopes of a protection against rain in the first place, more of a light summer jacket use, as I always thought from pictures, that the chainseam was "all open" anyway, with one part just hanging loosely to the next. I got misleaded and put too much thinking in it, when I saw the tape inside covering both sides. I thought maybe I was too much sissy and should give it a try.
It would have probably only remained a try, because the parka looks a lot better with the hood folded in (I think), but most of all, for those who know the fabric: it is probably not possible to walk thru rain with the hood on, without any additional ear protecion against the orchestral noise this would make
