The 22 Best Rain Jackets for Men to Wear Any Time of the Year

If you are going on an outdoor expedition, you better dress for it. Helly Hansen's rain jacket is waterproof, windproof, and keeps you from overheating on the move.

Canada Goose jackets are not just for winter; they are the master of keeping weather out of your way all times of year. The smooth, stretchy fabric is nice, and the mesh panelling will keep you aired out. It's one of the best rain jackets worth investing in. 

Nike’s ACG line—All Conditions Gear—was made for braving the great outdoors without losing signature Nike style. This one is super lightweight and cleans easy in a washing machine (a simple perk, but not one many rain jackets offer).

This is a rain jacket that doesn't absolutely scream rain jacket. The easy shape and stylish material means you can wear it to work, too, without looking like you're going on an outdoor expedition. 

J.Crew's rain jacket is waterproof, of course, but it's also made with a stretch fabric—a welcome detail for those accustomed to old-school stuffy rain coats. 

Adidas's outerwear pieces are downright cool, and this blue anorak is no exception. If you're looking for something practical that doesn't sacrifice on good style, this is it. 

If there is a single rain jacket every person should have, it's a Columbia Watertight one. It's made with a two-layer shell that seals out moisture but still lets some airflow in. If you're planning to take a hike this season, you might want to pick up this rain jacket first. 

Umbrellas are good, yeah, but have you ever been soaked anyway by windy rain? This Nobis jacket does wonders to keep everything under it nice and dry. 

Rains takes the cake when it comes to crafting timeless, waterproof jackets. This coat is expertly made, perfectly long, and will last you a lifetime. 

A longer length rain jacket is absolutely life-changing. It'll keep your pants dry and yourself a whole lot more comfortable, when the weather is cool outside enough to do so. 

Marmot makes some very good jackets, including this crowd-favorite Minimalist one. It uses Gore-Tex and it's seam-sealed, so truly nothing can get through it in a storm.

Keep this next to your emergency umbrella when you're not quite sure if you'll need it or not. It's small enough to sneak into any bag pocket.  

Lululemon's jackets are also a very good sleeper hit. This one is lightweight enough to wear in warm weather because of its stellar breathability. It is also great for throwing in your bag when it may or may not rain. 

This is the kind of jacket you need when it's raining but also kind of warm. The Save The Duck Cliffton is lightweight, made with 100% recycled polyester.  

Going to work in the rain is perhaps one of the most necessary times for a solid rain gear. This Emporio Armani has a classic raincoat shape that looks solid over a suit. It has some viscose in the fabric, which gives it just a smidge of stretch. 

Mackage's water-repellent jacket is simple, effective, and good-looking. The classic shape works just as well in nature as it does in the city.

A pullover anorak is a great option to have, especially for layering over hoodies. Barbour's signature tech fabric keeps you guarded from rain, wind, and any other airborne element. 

If you have never had a longer hemmed jacket that is meant to weatherproof your outfit, let this be your first purchase. It keeps so much more surface area of your body dry. 

L.L.Bean makes products for durable, long-lasting wear, and this jacket will serve you for many rainstorms to come. It works as a shell for warmer days but you can also layer with a midlayer when needed. 

Having to wear a rain jacket in the summer is not exactly idea but it happens—and it's best to stick with Patagonia's take when it does. This classic packable jacket is as lightweight and protective as you can get. 

The North Face makes some of the best waterproof material for jackets: Futurelight. Futurelight is the membrane that keeps airflow coming in without letting in the wet. 

Arc'Teryx jackets are meant to last a lifetime, so if you're looking for a longterm rain jacket, let it be this one. It uses Gore-Tex protection, arguably the best waterproof material on the market.
