Let’s not be one of those who complain about the weather in winter. Yes it gets wet and cold, it happens every year, at the same time! The trick my friend is to think like a cub scout. Be prepared. And we’ve got the perfect prep for you right here, with these five waterproof gems, perfect for any price point...
adidas, Rain Jacket, £22.99
Think Santiago Munez training in the pouring Newcastle rain in Goal, think Bend It Like Beckham and David himself strutting his stuff on the adidas advert. The classic adidas raincoat is one of the most iconic fashion pieces around and is also the best value on our list. In plain black featuring that iconic logo, this stylish coat is perfect to slip on while playing sport or when out and about. Lightweight, breathable and with a hood, if you’re buying on a budget this winter, you won’t go far wrong with this.
The North Face, Men’s Resolve Jacket, £68
The North Face are the masters of winter wear and with their Resolve Jacket Men they have ticked every box needed for your waterproof needs. Coming in two colours, black and yellow, you get a whole lot for your money. Their DryVent technology protects you blustery conditions while also allowing your skin to breathe, and the two-layer waterproof shell jacket is finished with a water-repellent treatment meaning the raindrops just fall off. A great pick up.
Coach, Colorblock Windbreaker, £295
If you’re more of a colourful character perhaps you’d like to indulge in this beauty from Coach. This two tone teal colourway, the Colorblock Windbreaker, makes a statement while also keeping you safe from the elements. Wind and rain can get stuffed while wearing this, which also features a retro graphic and mustard coloured inner layer. Hiking has never looked so good...
Belstaff, Trialmaster Evo Jacket, £595
With more pockets than Ronnie O’Sullivan’s favourite snooker table, the Trialmaster Evo Jacket is pricey, but boy does it look great? In deep navy, a colour anybody can look good in, this jacket is engineered from a cutting-edge, waterproof, three-layer polyamide fabric. Fancy right? It also boasts laser-cut pockets, heat-sealed seams, and a high stand collar. Everybody needs an interior smartphone pocket and the one in this jacket comes with a transparent, touchpad-sensitive shield - it’s the clever touches that makes this one of the finest coats one the market.
Gucci, £1,410
Ahoy there! What about this nautical number from Gucci? Mainly blue, this jacket is crafted from waterproof nylon with eye catching red contrast tape details and features the classic green and red Web. Featuring lightweight materials and marine inspired colour combinations, the main feature as always is the Gucci jacquard label, which completes this piece nicely.
