Buying Guide Best Waterproof Rain Jackets For Outdoor Activities

Having the right gear contributes to outdoor activities, as stated by the NZ Herald and waterproof rain jackets are a must-have. It might all seem the same but different activities may require different jackets. In this blog, we will share:

• Waterproof rain jackets for hiking
• Waterproof rain jackets for running
• Waterproof rain jackets for cycling

Hiking Jackets

Hiking is the one outdoor activity that requires you to have a jacket on you at all times. Waterproof rain jackets for hiking are the standard, no matter the weather or season. When it is hot, a lightweight jacket that can easily fit into your hiking bag is the best option and when it is cold, you will want something heavier and insulated.

When buying waterproof rain jackets for hiking, consider the material and weight of the jacket, the number of layers (2 to 3 layers), breathability, features such as an adjustable hood and hem, pockets and closures. All of these contribute to the comfort and protection the jacket provides. Use our offering of Kathmandu discount codes and The North Face discount codes to save.
