Choose a rain jacket by use
-
Hiking and travel: lighter jackets are easier to pack and useful when weather changes quickly.
-
Fishing and prolonged rain: more technical membrane jackets can offer higher water protection and additional adjustments.
-
Everyday outdoor use: versatile rain jackets work well for commuting, walking and mixed-weather conditions.
Waterproof ratings, breathability, seam construction and zipper protection vary by model, so check the individual product page instead of assuming every jacket has the same specification.

Rain Jacket FAQ
Is 20,000 mm always better than 10,000 mm?
It indicates a higher rated resistance to water pressure under specified test conditions, but actual comfort also depends on breathability, seam sealing and garment construction.
Are all models suitable for wading?
No. FHM Brook has a short wading-focused cut; check the intended use and dimensions of other jackets individually.
Do membrane jackets need DWR maintenance?
Yes. Follow each garment's care label to maintain the face fabric's water repellency and avoid unsuitable washing treatments.
