Rainy

When rainy, blustery weather hits, high-quality waterproof clothing can make all the difference. Premium brands including Patagonia, Mountain Equipment, Fjallraven, Montane, Rab, The North Face and Berghaus offer excellent jackets, trousers, boots and shoes specifically built to withstand the rain. Navigate the wet weather in our selection of key pieces.  

Our waterproof jackets offer the ultimate rain protection, constructed using layered, waterproof yet breathable fabric technologies. Membranes such as Gore-Tex, Polartec and Pertex Shield provide impenetrable waterproofing while allowing internal sweat and condensation to escape. For guaranteed weather protection, opt for jackets with fully sealed or taped seams throughout. Taping eliminates gaps where moisture could potentially sneak through stitching. Storm flaps over the front zipper provide an extra barrier against blowing rain.

Waterproof trousers and salopettes are vital for keeping your legs and core dry when conditions take a turn. Our waterproof trousers feature zip flies and secure ankle closures to prevent pesky drips. Cargo, thigh and hand pockets enable you to carry essentials while keeping your hands warm and dry. Softshell trousers treated with durable water repellent (DWR) coatings offer lighter alternatives for less extreme conditions.  

Waterproof boots and shoes provide the final touch for adventures in the rain. Treated leather combined with interior waterproof construction maintain dry feet and wick perspiration. Aggressively lugged rubber outsoles provide stability and traction on slippery ground. Insoles can be removed in order to dry boots after use. Insulated winter boots add essential warmth for long days outdoors. Don't forget to add warm wool or fleece socks to your rainy ensemble!

Effective layering is key to avoiding wind chills and moisture. Many of our clothing options include merino base layers to actively wick perspiration away from the skin. With head-to-toe waterproofing from trusted brands including Patagonia, Rab, Montane and more, you can take on any forecast while exploring the trails, fells, mountains and coasts. With the proper wet weather kit, a little rain needn't dampen your adventures outdoors.
