Regatta Men’s Cross Penine Waterproof Jacket

You’re probably not going to see this waterproof jacket on the catwalk at London Fashion Week anytime soon and, if we’re being honest, that’s exactly why we like it so much. This jacket knows precisely what it’s all about, and does it with the type of confident ease your dad usually only demonstrates when he’s bleeding radiators.

Whatever the weather, and whatever the time of year, the Cross Penine from Regatta has got you more than covered. Constructed from Isotex 15000 endurance stretch fabric, and with fully taped seams, this waterproof jacket will shield you from the worst that those pesky rainclouds can throw at you. It’s also highly breathable. With this product, we particularly like how there’s two, rather than just one, pockets positioned higher up.

Berghaus Women’s Calisto Alpha Waterproof Jacket

Calisto Alpha might sound like the name of a 1970s TV detective, but in reality it’s actually a very affordable waterproof jacket from the people over at Berghaus.

Patagonia Women’s Torrentshell Waterproof Jacket

The Patagonia Torrentshell is a truly fantastic waterproof jacket that’s affordable enough to give you a penny’s worth of change from £100 (if you get it from Ellis Brigham). Patagonia, who aren’t exactly strangers to producing high quality outdoor wear, served up a masterclass in all-round functionality when they released this rain coat a few years back. And while we hesitate to describe a jacket as being a “classic,” we think this product is right up there with the top dogs (especially on value for money).

Whether you’re a hiker, a cyclist, or just someone who wants to stay dry on their commute; this jacket will do the job and do it well. Features on it include an adjustable hood with laminated visor, a roll down hood with stowaway cord and hook, a fleece-lined neck area, pit zips for additional ventilation, and a pocket that moonlights as a stuff sack. Two big, money-saving, thumbs up for this one.

Columbia Women’s Remoteness Jacket

The Remoteness, from Columbia, is an ideal waterproof in that it combines a pleasing visual aesthetic with first class rain-shielding properties.

Waterproof, breathable, fully seam-sealed, with interior security pocket, adjustable cuffs and hem; the features on this thing tick so many boxes in your notebook that you might have to go out and buy a new notebook. If you want to look stylish and be comfortable, and aren’t planning on doing anything too extreme, step this way.
