What jackets keep men warm and dry in winter?

The jackets that best keep men warm and dry through winter combine reliable waterproofing, wind resistance, and effective insulation. Ideal winter jackets often feature a waterproof and windproof outer shell to block rain, sleet or snow, together with an insulated lining (synthetic or down-style) or warm inner layer that traps body heat snugly. These elements work together to form a protective barrier against harsh winter conditions: the outer waterproof shell ensures external moisture can’t penetrate, while the insulated interior retains warmth and shields against chilly air or wind. Jackets cut with a longer hem and a high collar or hood offer added protection around the torso and neck, especially useful during cold, wet commutes or outdoor adventures.

Are waterproof jackets breathable?

Yes, our waterproof jackets are also designed to be breathable, which is essential if you’re active outside. Waterproof-breathable jackets typically use a membrane or breathable shell fabric that blocks rain and snow but still allows moisture vapour (sweat) to escape, preventing you from overheating or getting damp inside. 

How do I choose a jacket for hiking or outdoor work?

When selecting a jacket for hiking, outdoor work, or general outdoor activity, aim for a balance of waterproofing, breathability, insulation, comfort and versatility. Consider these factors:

• Waterproof + windproof outer shell: A shell made from a waterproof membrane or high-performance coated fabric will protect you from rain, snow, wind and spray, vital when hiking, working outdoors, or exposed to unpredictable weather.

• Breathability and ventilation: If you’ll be active, choose a jacket with a breathable membrane (or ventilation features) so sweat and excess heat can escape.
  

• Fit, length, coverage & practicality: A longer hem, adjustable hood, snug but comfortable fit, and practical details (pockets, adjustable cuffs, durable fabric) make the jacket more useful, whether you’re hiking trails, working outdoors, or commuting.

For hiking or outdoor work in cold, wet or variable conditions, a waterproof, breathable, insulating jacket tends to offer the best balance of protection, comfort and performance.
