Relwen Windzip Jacket

This winzip jacket is warm, light, and fashionable. It is great for any weather because it is designed to be breathable while also having a water-resistant exterior. The exterior is made of a nylon and spandex combination for the perfect amount of stretch, while the interior is filled with a dense 60 gramme down alternative.

 

Fjällräven Barents Parka

The Barents Parka is a tough, water-resistant parka with synthetic padding that adjusts to changing winter weather conditions on the fly. Cut from two weights of G-1000 cloth. To keep you warm, it's filled with Supreme Microloft fill and lined with a breathable, waterproof, and windproof Hydratic® liner.

 

Haglofs L.I.M PROOF Multi Jacket

The L.I.M is a lightweight and adaptable jacket that's a lovely basic and effective companion piece for quick, light outdoor activity. It has a fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment that helps repel water and dirt, as well as being durable and packable. 2,5-layer PROOFTM fabric provides complete wind and water resistance.

 

Halti Next Generation DryMaxx Shell

The Halti Next Generation shell was created with the idea of sustainability in mind. It's made of PFC-free recycled materials and is also recyclable, making it simple to dispose of at the end of its useful life. The zips, tabs, and panels are all easy to remove and replace if they wear out, but what we appreciate best is that it can be readily mended.

 

Arc'teryx Women's & Men's Beta LT Jacket

One of the greatest waterproof jackets on the market is the Arc'teryx Beta LT. The 3L GORE-TEX waterproof is light but tough, and of excellent quality. The bottom of the hand pockets has extra material to create a bellows effect, making them not only more useable but also more durable. The StormHood provides full covering without obstructing vision, while pit zips allow for quick ventilation.

 

Mountain Hardwear Exposure/2 GORE-TEX Pro Lite Jacket

This jacket strikes a compromise between weatherproofing and breathability. It's a winter-ready hardshell that's surprisingly light and inexpensive. You'll be hard pressed to find a better value on a high-performance hardshell for winter conditions than a jacket featuring Gore-Tex Pro.

 

Norrona Trollveggen GORE-TEX Pro Light Jacket

In summer and winter situations, the Norrona Men's Trollveggen GORE-TEX Light Pro Jacket is a terrific performer. It is made of a 3-layer GORE-TEX Light Pro fabric, which provides a good mix of weight and durability. It's windproof, waterproof, and breathable, and it has underarm vents for simple temperature control.
