Product Information

We also offer high performance outdoor equipment and accessories including tents, sleeping bags, camping chairs and folding garden chairs. As a result of the tough builds, you’ll see these hardshells being used for anything from mountaineering to backcountry skiing. Their Cielo is case in point: The rain jacket is built with a 100%-recycled shell with PFC-free DWR finish, and its vibrant color blocking and classy fit and finish make it fun to wear both on the trail and around town. Our lightweight women's waterproof jackets and our thicker ladies' long waterproof coats with fur-lined hoods will make you feel comfortable on the move, thanks to the technical materials used. The ultimate Waterproof Bike Jacket WOMEN for commuters: AGU "Commuter Jacket 10,000" rain jacket for cycling manufactured in windproof, waterproof and breathable 3-layer Poray 10,000 has ergonomic fit for optimal comfort, waterproof YKK zippers, adjustable removable hood, neoprene details, extra ventilation and 360 ° reflectors.

If you’re arthritic or have trouble with fiddly fixtures, the bottom end of the main zip will be a challenge and the little drawstrings attached here and there could be frustrating for less nimble fingers. For performance use, the benefits are obvious: While climbing, hiking, or other activities where you’re moving your arms a lot, a stretchy jacket is less restrictive.This is the amount of water in a 1-inch-diameter vertical tube that the material can withstand without leaking.

Below we break down the best rain jackets of 2024, from entry-level models for hiking and daily use to performance pieces for backpacking and climbing. And for a shell that’s intended for hiking and backpacking, we’d prefer the hand pockets sit a little higher to be accessible when wearing a hipbelt (the interior chest pocket is generously sized, however). With adjustable hood hidden in the collar, zipper with inner storm flap, pockets with zipper and elastic cuffs. We prefer the toggle style for adjusting the back of the hood over a rip-and-stick Velcro tab for its improved performance. In testing, material quality has been a common theme: Everything from the thick-toothed main zipper to the pit zips and three-way adjustable hood have a solid and reliable feel.One notable exception is a jacket like the Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite that uses Gore-Tex’s Paclite Plus, which has a minimalist, protective treatment on the interior in place of a hanging liner to minimize weight and bulk. The cord wraps around the sides of your head and pins the fabric down in a uniform way when cinched, which keeps the hood on your head even in really windy conditions. Step forward Montane’s Men’s Phase, a mid-length waterproof (it comes down to the bottom of your jeans pockets) which is quite happy to see you shivering because it knows no-one can touch it for pure, GORE-TEX powered rain-repellence. Overall, it’s a versatile design that should be on the radar for everyone from hikers and backpackers to bike commuters.

You don’t get a ton of room for layering (we can fit a thin midlayer underneath, but not much more), and the low weight and streamlined feature set makes it one of our favorite emergency layers. In truth, these are relatively small complaints—and perhaps magnified because we liked the predecessor so much. And while it doesn’t stack up as well in performance testing, good seam sealing and a reliable build make it a solid option for daily use or as a just-in-case shell when bad weather isn’t in the forecast.Most notably, we found the fit of the Rainier to be very large (depending on how you plan to layer underneath, it may be best to go down a full size).
