Bad weather should never stop you from getting outdoors, whether your passion lies in walking, hiking, or camping. At Cotswold Outdoor, you can choose from a selection of colours and designs which utilise the latest waterproof technology for the perfect outdoor jacket. Opt for lightweight waterproof jackets, crafted using breathable fabrics that can be layered or packed away. Opt for heavy-duty men's GORE-TEX™ jackets with durable waterproof fabrics for men that will keep you dryer for longer. Select from 3-in-1 designs and Triclimate designs with additional features such as zip-up pockets, reinforced seams, breathable lining, and hoods; you’ll be fully equipped no matter what activity you enjoy.
The Arc'teryx Men's Beta Jacket is highly recommended for its lightweight design, durability, and breathability, while the Patagonia Men's Torrentshell offers excellent value for money with robust waterproofing
Waterproof jackets provide full protection against heavy rain and snow, while water-resistant jackets are suitable for light showers but less effective in extreme conditions
A 3000mm hydrostatic head rating is adequate for moderate rain but may not be sufficient for prolonged heavy downpours or harsh conditions
GORE-TEX is widely regarded as one of the best waterproof materials due to its breathability, durability, and ability to block water while allowing sweat to escape
Consider factors like waterproof rating, breathability, fit, weight, and intended use. For high-intensity activities, lightweight and breathable options are ideal
The amount you spend depends on your needs and activities. Budget jackets can cost under £50 and are suitable for light use, while mid-range options (£100–£200) offer better waterproofing and breathability for outdoor activities. Premium jackets (£200+) provide advanced features like Gore-Tex, durability, and high breathability, ideal for extreme conditions or frequent use
