Rain Jackets by Area of Use
For everyday use and the city, lightweight, stylish rain jackets with a subtle look and good comfort are ideal. For hikes and trekking, breathable rain jackets with ventilation options and a robust membrane are perfect. For alpine tours, mountaineering, and extreme weather, hardshell jackets provide maximum protection with simultaneously high breathability. Packable rain jackets are perfect for travel and changeable weather, as they can be stowed away compactly.
Buying a Rain Jacket – What to Look For?
When choosing a rain jacket, water column, breathability, weight, packed size, and features such as adjustable hoods, ventilation zippers, and waterproof zippers play a key role. A water column of 10,000 mm or more is considered waterproof, while values above 20,000 mm reliably protect even in heavy rain and high pressure. If you are often on the move, you should also pay attention to a small packed size.
This category is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, mountaineers, and travelers in Switzerland looking for a reliable rain jacket for various weather conditions and activities. Commuters and city dwellers who want to stay dry in rainy weather will also find suitable models here – from understated everyday jackets to technical high-performance jackets.
Quality, Membrane & Workmanship
When buying a rain jacket, it is worth paying attention to high-quality membranes such as GORE-TEX or comparable alternatives, taped seams, and thoughtful workmanship. These features ensure that the jacket reliably protects even in continuous rain while remaining breathable. Regular care and re-proofing maintain its functionality for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which rain jacket is best for everyday use?▾
For everyday use, lightweight, understated rain jackets with a water column of at least 5,000 mm are ideal. Models from Columbia, Jack Wolfskin, or The North Face often offer good value for money and comfortable wear for daily use.
What is the difference between a rain jacket and a hardshell jacket?▾
A rain jacket is generally lighter and thinner and primarily serves as weather protection in rain. A hardshell jacket is more robust, features a multi-layer construction, and additionally offers protection against wind and cold – it is particularly suited for alpine and technical activities.
Which rain jacket is suitable for hiking and outdoor activities?▾
For hiking and outdoor activities, breathable rain jackets with ventilation options such as underarm zippers, an adjustable hood, and a water column of at least 10,000 mm are ideal. Brands like Mammut and Patagonia offer models specifically developed for this purpose.
How do I properly care for and re-proof my rain jacket?▾
Rain jackets should be rinsed with clean water after each use and, if necessary, washed in the washing machine at low temperatures with a special detergent for functional clothing. After washing, the jacket can be refreshed with a waterproofing spray or wash-in proofer to maintain its water-repellent properties.
What does the water column mean for rain jackets?▾
The water column indicates how high the water pressure can be before moisture penetrates the material. A water column of 10,000 mm is considered waterproof and reliably protects against rain and light external pressure. For extreme weather conditions, values of 20,000 mm and above are recommended.
Which rain jacket is especially breathable?▾
Particularly breathable rain jackets rely on membrane technologies such as GORE-TEX, GORE-TEX Paclite, or comparable alternatives. Brands like Arc'teryx and Mammut are known for their highly breathable hardshell jackets that ensure good moisture transport even during intense activity.
Are rain jackets also suitable for winter?▾
Rain jackets can also be worn in winter, but should then be combined with insulating layers. A pure rain jacket does not provide warmth, but protects against wetness and wind. For cold temperatures, hardshell jackets with enough room for a warming fleece or down layer are the best choice.
Which rain jacket is suitable for cycling?▾
For cycling, rain jackets with an extended back, reflective elements, and a helmet-compatible hood are suitable. Good ventilation options are important to wick away body heat while cycling. Models from Helly Hansen and The North Face often offer dedicated cycling rain jackets.
