FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a men's waterproof jacket or raincoat for hiking?

To guarantee effective protection on the trail, choosing a high-quality men's technical jacket is your first line of defence against bad weather. It is essential to select a model equipped with a high-performance membrane and a waterproof rating of at least 10,000mm Hydrostatic Head to stay dry for hours. Additionally, ensure your gear features fully taped seams and pit zips to evacuate body moisture during exertion.

What is the difference between a waterproof jacket and a water-resistant (water-repellent) jacket? A waterproof jacket completely blocks rain from penetrating the fabric thanks to a membrane and taped seams, whereas a water-resistant jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) coating that makes water bead up on the surface, but it will eventually soak through during prolonged or heavy rainfall.

What waterproof rating should I choose for a men's hiking jacket?

For versatile outdoor use, aim for a waterproof rating between 15,000mm and 20,000mm. For mountaineering or extreme alpine conditions, opt for 25,000mm or higher. Explore our full collection of windproof jackets to find the perfect gear for your next mountain adventure.
