Men's waterproof jackets

A jacket for every rain

The waterproof jacket is an essential piece for changing climates. It blocks rain with a membrane or coating and sealed seams, while allowing sweat to escape if it is breathable. You choose it according to its use: a lightweight and stylish jacket for the city, a technical jacket for hiking and the outdoors, a compact jacket to tuck into a bag for unexpected showers when travelling.

City, sea or mountains

For the city, the Fred Perry Brentham, the Didriksons Dario or the Blend, stylish and well-cut, are worn over a shirt or a jumper. Helly Hansen, a Norwegian brand born from sailing clothing, brings its expertise with the Dubliner and the Crew Hooded, inspired by sailing. The Napapijri Rainforest, the iconic anorak from the Italian brand, is recognised by its front pocket. For hiking, the Dare 2B Torrek and the Regatta Changing, are designed for the effort. The Trespass Qikpac folds into its pocket.

Maintaining waterproofness

A waterproof jacket gradually loses its water-repellent treatment, which causes water to bead up: eventually, water begins to soak the outer fabric and the jacket breathes less effectively. To maintain it, wash it with a gentle or specific detergent, without fabric softener or conditioner, which destroys this treatment, then reactivate it with a spray or waterproofing product, sometimes by using a gentle tumble dry according to the label. Allow it to air dry before storing it.

Frequently asked questions

Waterproof or water-repellent: how to tell the difference?

A water-repellent jacket causes water to bead but gives way under prolonged rain. A waterproof jacket, with a membrane or coating and sealed seams, blocks water even in a steady downpour.

What rain jacket should I wear in the city?

A long and simple cut covers a suit jacket and protects during transit, like the Helly Hansen Dubliner or the Fred Perry Brentham. It can be worn over a jumper or a shirt.

What is a breathable jacket?

Its membrane blocks raindrops but allows sweat vapour to pass outside. Essential for walking or cycling, it prevents you from getting wet from the inside due to exertion.

What’s the benefit of a compact and foldable model?

Folding into its own pocket, like the Trespass Qikpac, it slips into a bag and is ready at the first cloud. It is ideal for travelling, festivals, or day hikes.

How to choose the size of a men's waterproof jacket?

Allow enough room to wear a jumper or a lightweight puffy jacket underneath. The sleeves should cover the wrists when arms are raised, and the bottom of the jacket should fall below the waist to keep dry.
