Waterproof jackets and rain coats: Wet weather protection.
Rab has a rich heritage of creating high-quality outdoor gear. We have been providing outdoor enthusiasts the best gear to tackle their adventures for over 40 years. Our expertise and innovation ensure that every Rab waterproof jacket meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.
Cutting-edge fabric technology.
Our rain coats use high-performance, waterproof fabrics and advanced materials like GORE-TEX and Pertex®. GORE-TEX provides the ultimate protection against wet and windy conditions, while maintaining breathability. This ensures that you stay dry and comfortable even in the harshest weather conditions.
Pertex® provides lightweight protection and great moisture-wicking features. This makes it ideal for high-intensity activities like trail running. These technologies make sure our jackets protect you from rainy days, improving your outdoor experience.
Variety of styles and colours.
Our collection of men's and women's waterproof jackets comes in a wide array of styles and colours to suit your personal taste and needs. Whether you'd prefer a sleek, simple design or a jacket with many pockets and features, we have something for you. Choose from classic colours like black and navy, or make a statement with vibrant hues like red and teal.
Useful features for enhanced functionality.
We design our waterproof jackets with a variety of useful features to enhance your outdoor experience:
- Adjustable hoods protect you from wind and rain and you can tighten or loosen them to fit comfortably over your head or helmet.
- Waterproof zippers prevent water from seeping in, keeping your belongings safe and dry in any weather. These YKK zippers are robust and easy to operate, even with gloves on, making them ideal for cold and wet conditions.
- Our designers strategically place pockets for easy access to your essentials while keeping them dry. Many of our jackets also have storm flaps for extra protection against the weather.
- Reflective details help you see better in low light. They add safety for nighttime or early morning activities.
- Some designs include ventilation options like underarm zippers. These help you control your body temperature during intense activities.
- Additionally, our jackets offer adjustable cuffs and hems, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out the elements. This flexibility ensures maximum comfort and protection, no matter the weather.
We carefully include all these features in our jackets. This way, you get the best outer layer protection and comfort while enjoying the outdoors.
Our commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
We are The Mountain People, and we care deeply about the environment. Therefore, we are committed to phasing out the use of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in our products. PFCs are chemicals often used in waterproof clothing that can be harmful to the environment. By removing these substances, we are taking a significant step towards more sustainable manufacturing practices.
However, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just phasing out harmful chemicals. Our waterproof jackets use recycled fabrics in their designs. By using recycled materials, we reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact associated with the production of new fabrics.
These fabrics include recycled polyester and they maintain Rab's high standards for durability, breathability, and weather protection. Whether you're facing a winter storm or going for a summer trail run, our jackets keep you safe and protected.
Experience the difference with Rab waterproof jackets, crafted to keep you dry, comfortable, and ready for any adventure.

Waterproof jacket FAQs.
What features should a good waterproof jacket have?
A good waterproof jacket keeps you dry in the wettest conditions. Here are some key features to consider:
Waterproofing: Effective waterproofing ensures that no moisture penetrates through the fabric. Rab designs jackets using high-quality materials and advanced technologies, such as GORE-TEX, with a hydrostatic head of at least 10,000mm to provide maximum waterproofing.
Breathability: A great waterproof jacket should also be breathable, allowing sweat to escape while keeping rain out. Our waterproof coats and jackets strike the perfect balance between waterproofing and breathability.
Durability: We make jackets that last, using strong materials that can handle wear and tear from outdoor use.
Fit and Comfort: A good fit ensures freedom of movement and comfort. We offer a range of sizes and ergonomic designs to cater to all body types.
Can you wash a waterproof jacket?
Yes! You can wash a waterproof jacket using a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle. Use a detergent designed specifically for waterproofs. Avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners, as they can damage the jacket’s water-repellent coating.
After washing, reapply a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment to maintain its performance. For step-by-step instructions, visit our how to wash a waterproof jacket guide.
How do you know if a jacket is waterproof?
A waterproof jacket will have fully taped seams and waterproof zippers. They will also have a durable water repellent (DWR) coating on the fabric for extra protection.
Also, look for technical ratings such as a hydrostatic head. A measurement of at least 10,000mm, indicates the fabric’s ability to withstand water pressure.
