Sara Assadi

With the winter comes rain, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors all the time. Here are seven jackets that can cope with bad weather. We have gathered rain jackets for men, women, boys, girls and everything in between!

Top list: Stylish rain jackets for all weathers

Whether or not the saying "There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes" is true depends who you ask. But everyone would probably agree that it’s nice to have the right clothes for when the weather changes. When it’s wet and windy, you want something that protects you, and if the thermometer also drops a few degrees, a warm lining can be especially appreciated.

Some rain jackets are made of rubber or other materials that are superb against water, but there are also rain jackets in more functional materials that also breathe. Whether you’re taking the dog for a walk, waiting to pick up the kids or even going fishing, being properly dressed makes the experience much more pleasant, and with these jackets you don’t have to choose between function and appearance.

Tretorn Wings Rain Jacket Unisex - Black

Tretorn Wings Rainjacket Unisex

At that time, the company primarily manufactured waterproof galoshes. The Wings Rainjacket has a hydrostatic head of 8000 mm, protects against the wind, has welded seams and is free of PVC. Since the sizes are unisex, women are advised to choose a size smaller than their usual one.

In addition to black, the Helly Hansen W Moss Jacket is also available in bright yellow or bright pink.

3 tips when buying a rain jacket

  1. Think about how much rain you want to withstand. Some jackets can withstand any downpour, but they often do this by not being made from a breathable material. Choose a material according to how you plan to use the jacket.

  2. Select the model according to your activity. Some outdoor jackets don’t look like a classic waterproof but have a very high hydrostatic head (the thing that measures how waterproof they are). With one of these, you get a better all-round jacket that works for more activities.

  3. Will you be very active? If you’re going to be very active, you need a jacket that breathes so that you don’t get too hot. For cycling, for example, it’s a good idea to have a two-way zip so that you have more freedom of movement. Take your activity into account when you check out the jacket's functions.
