Columbia Challenger II windbreaker in green, £65

PACKABLE RAIN JACKETS

 

Unpredictable weather has nothing on this Columbia rain jacket. The Challenger II Windbreaker is a sleek number that not only blocks wind but resists rain and is (of course) gorpcore-approved. It's the best rain jacket for men who need reliable rain protection and a versatile option, and with AW24 colour palettes leaning into earthy tones, you can stay both on-trend *and* dry. Rainstorm? No problem. Quick dog walk? Covered. This lightweight jacket even rolls up into a compact package that fits easily into a bag, plus it has plenty of pockets and a utility loop, adding to its list of practical features. We’re sold.

LONG WATERPROOF COATS

 

This waterproof coat from Rains is everything – oversized, minimal, and effortlessly cool. Let’s be real, it’s kind of like the brand was made for, well, rain. Perfect for tackling a moody day with a sleek, modern edge, this layer brings Scandi vibes straight to your wardrobe. For extra warmth when it’s f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g, you can also turn to a Rains puffer jacket; the Alta waterproof style is a cosy, insulated take on minimalism... it’s just as smart, but with all the snug feels you need for the UK’s climes.

If you’re after warmth and weather protection, this style from Tommy Jeans is the perfect choice, hands down. With its bold blue hue and cloud-like insulation, this jacket is equal parts cosy and cool, perfect for staying snug, no matter how wild the winter gets. We think it's the kind of piece you’d catch A$AP Rocky in, who often adds colour pops into his everyday looks.

The North Face multiway triclimate jacket with removeable gilet in black, £325

VERSATILE RAIN JACKETS

The North Face rain jackets are a firm fave amongst the outdoorsy people, and the Triclimate style is a game-changer for anyone who hates switching out jackets for different seasons. It comes with, not one, not two, but *three* ways to wear: a waterproof outer shell, an insulated liner, and the ability to wear them separately or combined depending on the weather (it's giving versatile). Layer up with a simple T-shirt, some cargo trousers and chunky jewellery for a casual everyday vibe.
