Rain Jackets & Coats for Men & Women — Stay Dry, Stay Stylish

Rain is inevitable. Being unprepared for it doesn't have to be. At Shearling Store, our rainwear collection is designed for people who refuse to let the weather dictate their day — men and women who want genuine weather protection without wearing something that looks like it belongs on a construction site. From lightweight packable rain jackets to heavy-duty waterproof coats built for serious conditions, every piece in this collection is selected for its performance, durability, and real-world wearability.

We offer free worldwide shipping on every order and consistently discounted prices across the entire rainwear range — because staying dry shouldn't cost a fortune, and quality waterproof clothing shouldn't be a luxury reserved for premium outdoor brands with inflated markups.

What Makes a Great Rain Jacket or Coat?

Not all rainwear is created equal, and if you've ever been let down by a jacket that claimed to be waterproof but soaked through within twenty minutes, you already know this. The difference between genuinely good rainwear and disappointing rainwear comes down to three core factors: waterproofing technology, seam construction, and breathability.

Waterproofing is measured by hydrostatic head rating — essentially how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before it leaks. A rating of 5,000mm is adequate for light rain and everyday commuting. Anything above 10,000mm is considered genuinely waterproof and suitable for prolonged heavy rain or outdoor activity. Our rainwear collection clearly specifies waterproof ratings where applicable so you can make an informed decision based on how and where you'll actually be wearing the jacket.

Seam construction is where many budget rainwear options fall short. Even a technically waterproof fabric becomes useless if the stitched seams allow water ingress. Fully taped or welded seams eliminate this weakness entirely. Our waterproof coats and performance rain jackets feature fully sealed seam construction wherever waterproofing performance is critical.

Breathability is the factor that separates wearable rainwear from the kind you sweat through the moment you start moving. A breathable waterproof jacket allows moisture vapour from your body to escape outward while still blocking external rain — keeping you dry from both directions. Our collection prioritises breathable waterproof fabrics that perform in real conditions, not just on a spec sheet.

Men's Rain Jackets

Our men's rain jackets are built for performance and shaped for style. Clean, contemporary cuts in classic colourways — navy, black, olive, and grey — mean these jackets transition naturally from the trail to the city street without looking out of place in either. Adjustable hoods, zip-sealed pockets, and packable designs make them as practical as they are good-looking. Whether you need a technical waterproof jacket for hiking or a sleek everyday option for the commute, our men's range covers both ends of the spectrum.

Women's Rain Jackets

Fit matters just as much as function. Our women's rain jackets are cut with a tailored, feminine silhouette that doesn't compromise on waterproof performance. Cinched waists, longer back hems for full coverage, and thoughtfully placed pockets make these jackets genuinely wearable — not just technically functional. Available in a range of colours and lengths to suit different body types and style preferences.

Men's Waterproof Coats

When a jacket isn't enough, a full-length waterproof coat delivers the coverage and protection that serious weather demands. Our men's waterproof coats extend past the hip and feature storm plackets, deep hoods, and reinforced cuffs to keep rain out at every entry point. These are the pieces you reach for when the forecast is genuinely bad and you need to know you'll arrive dry.

Women's Waterproof Coats

Elegant, protective, and thoroughly practical. Our women's waterproof coats are designed for women who want outerwear that looks as considered as everything else they wear — even in foul weather. Long-line silhouettes, belted styles, and relaxed oversized cuts are all available, each offering full waterproof protection with a finish that works equally well for a countryside walk or a city errand day.

Packable & Lightweight Rain Jackets

For travellers, hikers, and commuters who need waterproof protection without the bulk, our packable rain jackets compress into their own pocket or included stuff sack — small enough to slip into a day bag and forget about until you need it. Ultralight construction means you won't feel the weight, and full waterproof performance means you won't feel the rain either.

Rainwear Fabrics — What You're Actually Wearing

Understanding what your rain jacket is made from helps you make a smarter buying decision. The most common waterproof fabric technologies you'll find in our collection include:

Polyester with PU coating — The most widely used waterproof fabric. Durable, cost-effective, and reliably waterproof when properly constructed. Ideal for everyday rainwear and moderate outdoor use.

Ripstop nylon — Lightweight and tear-resistant, ripstop nylon is a favourite for packable and performance rain jackets. The woven grid structure prevents small tears from spreading, making it exceptionally durable for its weight.

Bonded fleece-lined waterproof fabric — For colder, wetter climates where warmth matters as much as dryness, bonded waterproof fleece combines a waterproof outer shell with a warm fleece interior in a single fabric construction. Our waterproof coats using this fabric are among the most versatile pieces in the collection.

Every product listing in our rainwear collection specifies the exact fabric composition and waterproof rating so you know precisely what you're buying before you commit.

How to Care for Your Rain Jacket or Waterproof Coat

Proper care extends the waterproof life of your rainwear significantly. Over time, body oils, dirt, and detergent residue can compromise the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish applied to most waterproof fabrics — causing rain to soak in rather than bead off the surface. Here's how to keep your rainwear performing at its best.

Machine wash your rain jacket on a gentle cycle using a specialist technical outerwear cleaner — standard detergents leave residues that degrade DWR coatings. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting, as gentle heat reactivates the DWR finish and restores water beading performance. If tumble drying isn't possible, iron on a low setting through a clean cloth to achieve the same result.

For long-term maintenance, apply a spray-on DWR re-proofer every season or whenever you notice rain soaking into the fabric rather than beading off. This simple step will extend the effective waterproof life of your jacket by years and is far cheaper than replacing a garment prematurely.

Store rainwear loosely hung rather than compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods — long-term compression can stress the fabric's waterproof membrane and reduce its effectiveness over time.

Sizing & Fit Guide for Rainwear

Rain jackets and waterproof coats are typically designed to be worn over base layers or mid layers, so fit consideration is different from a standard jacket. We recommend measuring your chest and checking the size guide on each individual product page. If you plan to layer heavily underneath — fleeces, thick knitwear — size up one from your usual jacket size. If you prefer a cleaner, more fitted silhouette for urban wear, your standard size should work well with a single mid layer underneath.

Our rainwear collection runs from XS to 3XL across most styles, with measurements listed in both UK/EU and US sizing for international customers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rain Jackets & Waterproof Coats

1. What is the difference between water-resistant and waterproof rainwear?

Water-resistant garments can handle light drizzle and brief exposure to rain but will eventually soak through under sustained rainfall. Waterproof garments — particularly those with fully taped seams and a high hydrostatic head rating — provide complete protection against prolonged, heavy rain. Our product listings clearly indicate whether each item is water-resistant or fully waterproof so you can choose based on your actual needs.

2. Are your rain jackets suitable for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling?

Yes. Several styles in our collection are specifically designed for outdoor and active use, featuring articulated cuts for freedom of movement, underarm ventilation zips, and helmet-compatible hoods. Check individual product descriptions for activity suitability details.

3. Do your waterproof coats come with hoods?

The majority of waterproof coats and rain jackets in our collection include an integrated hood, most of which are adjustable for a secure fit in windy conditions. A small number of more fashion-forward styles feature detachable hoods — this is specified on each individual product page.

4. How do I restore the waterproofing on my rain jacket?

The DWR coating on waterproof jackets can be restored by tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing, or by applying a spray-on DWR re-proofer available from any outdoor equipment retailer. If rain is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off, the DWR needs reactivating — the underlying waterproof membrane is likely still intact.

5. Can I wear a rain jacket in winter?

Absolutely. Many of our rain jackets and waterproof coats are designed with colder conditions in mind and can be layered over fleeces or thermal mid layers for winter use. For very cold and wet conditions simultaneously, we recommend our bonded fleece-lined waterproof coats, which provide both insulation and full weather protection in a single garment.

6. Do you ship rainwear worldwide?

Yes — every order from Shearling Store includes free worldwide shipping with no minimum spend. All orders are fully tracked from dispatch to delivery, with estimated delivery times displayed at checkout based on your location.

7. What sizes are available in your rainwear collection?

Our rainwear collection is available in sizes XS through 3XL across most styles. Each product page includes a detailed size guide with chest, waist, and length measurements in both UK/EU and US sizing. For the best fit when layering, we recommend sizing up from your usual jacket size.

8. Can women wear men's rain jackets from your collection, and vice versa?

While it's absolutely a personal choice, our men's and women's rain jackets are cut differently — women's styles feature a more tailored waist and adjusted shoulder proportions for a better fit. We recommend shopping within your designated category for the best fit and silhouette, but our size guides will help you cross-reference measurements if you prefer an oversized or unisex fit.
