Waterproof breathable jackets
When the weather really turns and the torrential downpours start, you’re going to need a waterproof jacket as the final protective layer to keep the rain off your back. Wet fabrics rob your body of warmth, so opting for a waterproof breathable jacket ensures that you’ll stay warm and dry, as well as comfortable, as they allow moisture to escape through the jacket fabric to the outside where it can evaporate. Read about a few of our favourites below…
