Unpredictable British weather demands reliable protection. Whether you're tackling the Scottish Highlands, walking the Lake District fells, or simply commuting through a November downpour, a proper waterproof jacket keeps you dry without leaving you drenched in sweat. Browse our range of waterproof jackets designed for serious outdoor use.
How to Choose Your Waterproof Jacket
Waterproof Rating Look for jackets rated at 10,000mm minimum for general hillwalking. For prolonged mountain use in heavy rain, aim for 20,000mm or higher. Higher ratings mean better protection when conditions turn foul.
Breathability A jacket that keeps rain out but traps sweat inside defeats the purpose. Check the MVTR (moisture vapour transmission rate) or RET rating. Lower RET scores indicate better breathability—essential if you're moving at pace on steep terrain.
Construction Layers 2-layer jackets suit occasional use and lighter budgets. 2.5-layer options offer a good balance of weight and durability. 3-layer construction provides maximum protection and longevity for serious hillwalkers.
Weight and Packability Consider how you'll carry your jacket when the sun breaks through. Ultralight shells compress into their own pocket, while heavier-duty options trade packability for rugged durability.
Features That Matter Adjustable hoods that fit over helmets, pit zips for ventilation, sealed seams, and storm flaps over zippers all contribute to real-world performance. Think about the conditions you'll actually face.
Environmental Considerations Many modern waterproof treatments now avoid harmful PFCs. If sustainability matters to you, look for jackets using PFC-free DWR coatings.
