Hi all , which waterproof jacket do you wear?
I wear a helly Hansen jacket at the minute and although it keeps me warm and dry for a while, I find it too heavy to work in.
What do you wear?
Cheers 👍
-
I generally don't.
In summer I find it too hot and prefer to get wet.
In winter I would be going home if it was Bad enough to need a raincoat.
Only exception would be doing a Conny or fsg which I would do in heavy rain.
I have an old plain black regatta jacket that I must have had for over 10 years in my van. This gets used on occasion.
-
I usually just wear a polo t shirt but in drizzle , light rain I put a jacket on until it stops. It saves me from walking around in a wet t shirt , but I'm after something thin and waterproof as I get too hot as well

i have 2 that i take out with me on a wet day.a berghaus goretex jacket and a north face one and swap them at lunchtime.their worth their weight in gold for me as i work in most wet weather.in winter i wear them over my fleece jacket.

Cheers - I shall take a look at those 👍

Berghaus for me few quid more but lightweight and waterproof easy to work in better than most of the cheaper options in my opinion.
-
Get goretex or similar as they are breathable and easy to work with. Always worn clothes like this not just for work either. They can be pricey but well worth it.

Regatta great oudoor waterproof jacket. Extremely light weight, i either have it hung up in back of van or folded/scrunched right down and behind my headrest of seat.
It aint warm as its not padded or anything, its just a plastic type jacket that does its job. Im always warm but you could put a jumper on underneath if need be

Maybe a pack away lightweight waterproof golf jacket?

What more do you want? You'll sweat like a pig in any waterproof.
