When winter weather really sets in, a good waterproof jacket makes all the difference. 3-layer waterproofs are designed for serious outdoor use, combining a waterproof outer fabric, breathable membrane and protective inner layer into one durable construction. The result is a jacket that offers excellent waterproof protection, breathability and durability without the bulk of a traditional lining. We often refer to waterproof jackets as Shell, so think of it as your shell, your protection. UNder your shell you can vary your layering to meet the needs of the day and your chosen activity, but it is your shell that will protect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our top choices include the\u00a0Mountain Equipment Makalu<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for men and the\u00a0Rab Namche<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>for men and women, both feature dependable 3-layer GORE-TEX epe protection. If you\u2019re looking for the benefits of a 3-layer jacket at a more accessible price, take a look at the\u00a0Montane Norste XT<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>for or the\u00a0Rab Firewall<\/a><\/strong>, both using 3-layer Pertex Shield technology. Whichever you choose, these are jackets designed to keep you protected when the weather is at its worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a winter waterproof, it\u2019s also worth considering\u00a0P\u00e1ramo<\/strong><\/a>, which takes a very different approach to keeping you dry. P\u00e1ramo doesn\u2019t use a conventional waterproof membrane; instead, its Nikwax Analogy\u00ae system uses a two-layer construction, with an inner Pump Liner\u00ae actively moving liquid moisture away from your body while the outer fabric deflects wind and rain. This directional approach can be particularly effective in the cold, wet and humid conditions we experience in the UK, helping to keep you comfortable during long days outdoors. P\u00e1ramo jackets are also warm, durable and designed to be maintained and reproofed with Nikwax<\/a>, making them a great alternative to a traditional membrane waterproof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little extra care goes a long way: Modern fluorocarbon-free waterproof garments need regular washing and reproofing to maintain their performance. We recommend using Nikwax products<\/a> specifically designed for waterproof clothing \u2014 and if you\u2019re unsure what your jacket needs, just ask us in store or give us a call, we\u2019re always happy to help. If you purchase in store just ask us for a free sample and we’ll give you your first wash and proof on the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
