Clothing for Wet Weather

Can we be honest for a moment... It rains here, a lot. So wet-weather clothing isn't a seasonal nicety, it's basic equipment, and this collection gathers the brands that treat it that way. Barbour, Joules and the rest of our heritage brands cover that side of things, waxed, wadded and built to be re-proofed rather than binned. For proper technical waterproofs, brands like Montane and 66°North make shells designed with the mountains in mind. 66°North has kitted out Icelandic fishermen and rescue crews since 1926, which is about the highest bar a raincoat can clear. If it holds up in the North Atlantic, it'll cope with a Tuesday in Sheffield. Wax jackets, waterproof clothing and weather-ready footwear, for the city, the hills and the long grey bit in between. None of it disposable, all of it made to be worn hard and re-proofed for years. Buy well, and you'll stay dry in it for a very long time.Read more
