Black Friday: waterproof jackets
A shower at altitude can come on quickly, and a jacket that lets water in can turn your outing into a chore. This small selection from the Black Friday brings together waterproof jackets for hiking and the mountains.
Compare the models, then filter by brand and size.
Stay Dry When the Weather Turns
A waterproof jacket protects against rain and wind. It packs away into a bag and comes out as soon as the sky gets cloudy. The selection is short, making it easy to browse: you can compare each model without getting lost.
What Makes a Good Rain Jacket
Check the hood, seams, and fastenings. An adjustable hood protects your face. Ventilation under the arms reduces condensation while you're working hard. A breathable jacket remains comfortable during climbs.
Who Offers Waterproof Jackets Here
La Sportiva and Dynafit cater to mountain and trail enthusiasts. Kilpi, adidas, Isbjörn of Sweden and Vertical are also included in the Brand filter, with jackets designed for hiking. Compare based on use and level of protection.
The Layers to Pair
Under the jacket, slip on a fleece. For colder conditions, add a down jacket. If the rain is light, a simpler jacket from the jackets and pullovers section may be enough.

Waterproof and Breathable: A Balance
A completely waterproof jacket can trap sweat. A breathable membrane allows moisture to escape and is more comfortable during climbs. Ventilation under the arms and a lightweight fabric help regulate temperature during exertion.
Hiking, Trail Running, Mountaineering: What's the Difference
A hiking jacket prioritises protection and durability. A trail jacket is lighter and can be packed into a pocket. A mountaineering jacket includes reinforcements and a helmet-compatible hood. Choose the level that matches your activity.
Rewaterproofing for Longevity
Over time, the water-repellent treatment wears off. A proper wash followed by a rewaterproofing treatment will restore the jacket's state. Store it dry, without folding it in the same spot every time.
Accessories to Go with the Jacket
Rain trousers, lightweight gloves, and a beanie complete the protection. Keep these items in a bag to stay dry in unexpected weather. Well-organised gear can be pulled out in seconds when a storm hits.
Hood and Brim
A hood with a stiff brim keeps rain away from your face and clears your vision. Adjustable in volume, it fits over a beanie or helmet. Test the field of vision before choosing, as a hood that's too far forward can hinder movement.
Waterproof Fastenings
Waterproof zips and flaps on pockets prevent water from seeping in. Adjustable cuffs seal the gap between the sleeve and glove.
