How it is made
Made end to end, under one roof
Four steps, all of them ours. Nothing is handed to an outside job shop, so a problem is caught by the same team that made it.
About us- Chosen and testedWe choose the fabric for every style and approve it only after it passes our tests.
- Coated and sealedWaterproofing goes on in our own coating plant, never a job shop.
- Rain testedSpray and hydrostatic head tests on every batch before it is cut.
- Finished and checkedStitching, QC and packing happen in our own units, so nothing slips.
Own stitching · own coating line · own cutting floor · own QC

Straight answers
Questions people actually ask us
Short, honest answers about fabric, fit, sizing and delivery. If yours is not here, our team replies directly on phone and email.
Talk to usWhere are Citizen products made?
In our own units in Gujarat. Waterproof coating, cutting, stitching, QC and packing all happen under one roof, so a problem is caught by the same team that made it.
Which raincoat should I buy for daily riding?
For a daily two wheeler commute choose a full raincoat set with a storm flap and sealed seams. A poncho is quicker to pull on for short or walking use, and a windcheater is more comfortable in light rain and wind.
How do I pick the right school bag size?
Match the bag to the class. Smaller compartments and lighter frames for primary, a padded laptop or tablet sleeve and wider straps from middle school upward. A loaded bag should sit above the hips and never exceed about ten to fifteen percent of your child's body weight.
Are Citizen laptop backpacks water resistant?
Yes. Our laptop backpacks use water resistant fabric with a padded, suspended laptop compartment so the device does not sit flush against the base of the bag. They are built for commuting in Indian weather, not just for the office.
Where does Citizen ship and how long does it take?
We ship across India from our own facility. You can track any order or ask about delivery by calling +91 97273 77255 or writing to orders@citizenactivegear.com and our team replies directly.
What makes Citizen different from other Indian rain brands?
Three things: we coat, stitch and rain test in our own units rather than outsourcing, we have been doing this since 1882, and we price below comparable styles because there is no middleman markup built into the cost.
