10 Reviews: Best Raincoats for Hiking (Apr 2024)

What’s annoying about some raincoat products is the hood that doesn’t fit the helmet. This product offers a solution. The attached hood with peripheral cord is highly adjustable and helmet friendly, it can be rolled into collar when not in use. This rain jacket features material that offers waterproof performance protect you from rain and wet weather. You won’t feel hot for the strong lining mesh makes this jacket lightweight, breathable and able to transfer the moisture away quickly. It will keep you warm and dry without weighing you down.

Great rain jacket. It’s waterproof but breathable, the hood fits well with a small brim and drawstring to keep rain off your forehead. The sleeves can be adjusted with Velcro and there is also a drawstring at the waist as well as zippered pockets. I suggest if you want to wear over bulky sweater or have a tummy try one size up.

From its appearance, this rain jacket looks heavy and tight. When in fact, this product is lightweight, breathable, and of course waterproof. It can work under over 10000mm pressure head. This product is designed in such a way that it guarantees the best heat retention, keeping the body warm during cold even rainstorms. Suitable for skiing, snowboarding or climbing mountains. This jacket can handle inclement weather easily, such as heavy fog, rainy or snow day.

Overall it fits and is a great coat! Super warm and soft on the inside. Just fits as an XL with a tshirt under but if you were going to be bundled up under this coat order one size up. Really nice quality and like i said SUPER SOFT

This Rain Jacket looks like an ordinary jacket. In fact, this jacket is crafted of soft water and wind resistant material to keep you warm and protected during cold and wet days outside. It also features a high neck to keep protected from chilly outside air. Apart from being protective, this jacket is light enough to be comfortable to wear.

I was impressed with the fit, the overall quality of the jacket for the price, its lightness and thinness, and its use in a range of temperatures and conditions. I have used it for light winds and 60 degrees, and heavy winds in the high 20s. In all extremes, it performed perfectly. Both the outside of the jacket and inside liner dries quickly.

In anticipation of the extreme cold, some people are willing to bring lots of extra clothes to make sure they don’t freeze to death. Fortunately, by using this product, you are quite protected from cold weather. How is that possible? Well, it features warm soft fleece lining and quick-drying durable fabric with 1200g cotton padding; like using polar bear fur. Even the Rainstorm won’t be able to get you wet because the waterproof index is 10000 mmH2O. Perfect!

Amazing jacket. This is actually the second one I have bought. There’s not too much room for a bulky sweater underneath but it is extremely warm so an additional sweater is not necessarily needed. Survived -40°C weather in Alberta.

A trip to the mountain’s top with friends is sure to be fun. But that situation will change 180 degrees if you suddenly get separated from the group. Well, that nightmare can be overcome with this product. 44 bright colors / patterns will make it easier for your group to spot you. Moreover, the waterproof and breathable material will keep you dry when it rains, and comfortable, even if you get lost in the forest.

Just returned from a rainy two weeks in Florence and Venice and am happy to report that this poncho proved to be excellent buy: lightweight; dries really quickly; large but useful since you AND your large purse/bags will also be covered; the bright red colour (on top of being a cheery colour for rainy days) will also make it easier for your travel companion to spot you in a crowd.

Are you a person who gets cold easily? Or will you take a trip to a place with cold weather? Take this jacket! The fleece lining will keep you warm as if you were using heater, even during extreme weather. There is no need to doubt the waterproof and windproof features. Moreover, this product is machine washable. You don’t need to exhaust yourself washing by hand, especially after a long trip.

Really thin material but well insulated. Good for cold canadian winter. Been using it 0utside up to -30c and without feeling the cold. Would suggest taking 1 step larger then you usualy take. Its limit tight for me for an xl

This raincoat is rain’s worst enemy. It’s lightweight, waterproof, breathable, so you no longer fear getting wet when it rains. The material used is no joke. With 100% nylon shell with rain defender durable water repellent up to 10,000 protection rating. Plus the elegant design makes you look more manly even in the rain.

Finally wore this jacket on a 4 mile hike in the Seattle rain and stayed dry as can be, unlike many jackets this one is also breathable so you don't sweat like you are in a plastic bag.

By wearing this rain poncho, it is guaranteed that there will be no water leaking because all seams go through a caulking treatment. It is extremely resistant to abrasion and tearing. In addition, it weighs only 0.27kg / 0.59lbs so it’s not heavy at all to carry and comfortable to wear. It can also be used as a mountaineering raincoat, picnics mat for hiking and more.

Good quality raincoat. light, portable, and the texture is very comfortable of a raincoat for a totally acceptable price. really cool to bring it if you really love hiking like me. the two sleeves are cute and awesome. really good product to recommend

It will definitely help your hiking trip if several products can be put together. Whereas, this one is actually a product that can be used in various functions; as a camping pad, awning, sun canopy, and other uses. Your backpack will be much less and lighter without having to sacrifice anything important. Moreover, this waterproof raincoat can be folded into a small size, light weight, and doesn’t take up much space in your bag.

Used it daily for 29 days straight on a 3200km bike trip. Works great as a bottom sheet for tent, a tarp for bicycle, or a poncho in the rain, comfortable, durable, super lightweight, worth every penny.

Columbia Women’s Arcadia II Jacket features waterproof and breathable materials to shield you from drizzle to downpour. The cut is slim so it will still be pretty to wear. Not to mention the colors offered are quite diverse and bright. Girls will love this rain jacket with a simple design. If you want to travel, fold this raincoat and put it in your pocket to avoid sudden rain.

This jacket was perfect for a recent trip to BC. We had a few days with a lot of rain, and this jacket kept me dry and comfortable. It folds up nice and small too. I would say that it fits slightly on the small side.
