Even during spring and summer, you need to be prepared for unpredictable weather. Still, it is understandable that you do not want to walk around with an umbrella or rain suit all the time. Fortunately, men have a variety of jackets to choose from that will shield you from any (sudden) downpour. But which jacket suits your style, and which brand best protects you from bad weather? We have listed the three main categories for you:
1. Outdoor jacket
As the name suggests, these are jackets that are excellent to wear during intense outdoor activities. Think of a walk in the woods, a bike ride, or a survival trip during a men’s weekend. The outdoor brand par excellence is Barbour. Their wax jackets are world famous for not only protecting you from moisture and wind, but also preventing you from overheating. This makes it no problem to stay active during unpredictable weather. In addition, you have brands like New Zealand Auckland that give your outfit a rugged touch.
2. Functional jacket
These are jackets specifically designed to protect you from the elements. These include rain jackets, parkas, and reflective jackets. Tenson’s jackets, for example, use a rock-solid combination: They are lightweight, insulating and partly made of recycled polyester. Didriksons is a brand that also takes active men into account. Thus, they design their jackets with a timeless design that are also practical. Here you can think of detachable hoods, smooth zippers, and various types of pockets to store your valuables.
3. Padded jacket
Especially when you expect a lot of wind, padded jackets offer the solution. Thus, they feature an insulation layer that can be made of down, synthetic fibers or wool. This ensures that you stay pleasantly warm during unsettled weather. Save the Duck is committed to making this middle layer 100% animal friendly. To do so, they use the innovative material Plumtech instead of down feathers. In their design, they take inspiration from Italian trends. As a result, you can easily combine them with cool jeans and a warm sweater for a sporty outfit.
