Summer waterproof jackets

Whether you are heading to the hills or enjoying a picnic on the beach, in British conditions, you never know when you are going to need to grab a waterproof jacket!

While it may not feel cold, once you get caught in the rain it can be very difficult to stay warm so a waterproof jacket you can trust to keep you dry is essential. We have chosen a selection of go-to waterproof jackets that not only look good, but ensure flexibility and a great performance whatever you are doing.

When choosing a waterproof jacket it might be worth considering what else you would use this lightweight jacket for – do you need a hood? Are there enough pockets for essentials or a map? If the temperature drops you might need room to fit a lightweight gilet or fleece underneath for added warmth.

Wherever you end up this season, the chance of rain is never far away! However, at ArdMoor we’ve got this covered; browse our suggested waterproof jackets below.
