Men’s waterproof jackets and raincoats.
A high-quality waterproof jacket is essential for staying dry and comfortable in unpredictable weather. Our collection of men's waterproof jackets is designed to perform in all weather conditions, allowing you to navigate relentless rain and howling storms.
With over four decades of mountain expertise, we’ve developed innovative waterproof, highly breathable, and performance-focused technologies. We've fine-tuned our men’s waterproof range to ensure they’re breathable, packable, lightweight and capable of withstanding the toughest mountain environments.
In addition to the extensive durability tests carried out by our fabric partners, we test all our waterproof designs ourselves, either in our Rab Lab or by sending them off to athletes to be put through their paces out in the field. From lofty mountain tops to freezing polar regions, our waterproof shells offer the highest performance.
Whether you're hiking, skiing, or simply enjoying the outdoors, our range of waterproof jackets for men offer the perfect blend of performance, functionality, and durability.
High-quality materials and construction.
We pride ourselves on crafting high-quality outdoor apparel that lasts. This is why we ensure all of our men's lightweight waterproof jackets feature durable materials and quality waterproof and breathable construction.
Using industry-leading GORE-TEX and Pertex waterproof fabrics, which feature a 3-in-1 construction, we combine an outer layer with a waterproof membrane and a moisture-wicking lining for complete wet weather protection.
Our waterproof membranes have been designed to block water from passing through, allowing moisture vapour and sweat to escape. This is essential for comfort, preventing heavy rain and sweat buildup inside the jacket.
We also apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating to the outer fabric of our rain jackets, which causes water to bead up and roll off. This prevents the fabric from becoming saturated and helps maintain breathability.
Functional designs optimised for performance.
Our men's waterproof jackets are designed for functionality and comfort using breathable fabrics. That’s why our key design elements include:
- Adjustable hoods: Stiff peaked, helmet-compatible, and roll-away hoods to keep the rain off your face.
- Waterproof and breathable membranes for complete weather protection.
- Extra ventilation pit zips help improve airflow and control temperature.
- YKK® AquaGuard® waterproof zippers and taped seams ensure a fully waterproof shell.
- Adjustable cuffs and hems help keep out rain and wind. They have a hook-and-loop adjustment for a better fit with gloves or mittens.
- Storage pockets are conveniently placed to add extra functionality. Waterproof zippered pockets keep your belongings dry, while interior pockets provide secure storage for valuables.
Protection for any outdoor activity.

Men's waterproof jacket FAQs.
How do I choose a waterproof jacket?
Your choice of a waterproof jacket depends on several factors. Consider your activities, the conditions you expect, and the terrain you will navigate.
You should consider the fit, level of waterproof rating (hydrostatic head), the weight, and which features you might find helpful.
Do waterproof jackets stay waterproof?
Yes, they do, but due to our commitment to reducing forever chemicals (PFAS), you may notice your waterproof jacket start to appear wet more quickly. This doesn’t mean it's no longer waterproof. However, it does mean that the breathability is compromised, and you might feel a little clammy as a result.
Frequent washing and reproofing will help prevent this, and it's more important than ever to keep our waterproof jackets in action for many more adventures.
What is a 3-layer construction?
In a 3-layer construction, the membrane is sandwiched between an outer fabric and an extremely light woven or knitted inner fabric.
Our most durable shell garments commonly feature a 3-layer waterproof technology construction. This fabric allows us to create hardwearing gear that is still lightweight and relatively packable.
What's the difference between waterproof and water resistant?
Waterproof and water-resistant jackets differ mainly in their protection against water. Waterproof jackets are designed to keep you completely dry in heavy rain for extended periods. Our waterproof jackets feature sealed seams and high waterproof ratings (hydrostatic head) for ultimate protection.
On the other hand, water-resistant jackets offer lighter waterproofing and are suitable for short or light showers. These jackets may lack taped seams and might not have the same high waterproof rating as their waterproof counterparts. They are typically more breathable and lightweight, making them ideal for activities where full waterproofing is not crucial.
