Not sure which kind of jacket is best for you, or what type of waterproof fabric suits the kind of activities you’ll be doing? Read on for our handy buying guide. We’ve included some technically tough jackets designed for long days in the mountains, some cheap and cheerful options that’ll still keep out the rain, and smarter jackets that are ideal for everyday use. Here you'll find our favourite waterproof jackets for men and women, and they’re all comfortable, great quality and reliably waterproof.
They’ll keep you warm and dry, and allow you to stay out in the elements when everyone else is running for cover. Waterproof outer layers are a lifesaver in the great outdoors, regardless of whether you’re hitting a remote trail or just taking the dog for a walk in the park. If you only invest in one great piece of outdoor clothing, make it a waterproof jacket.
