Keeping warm and dry when it’s blustery and cold outside is a tough feat, but a pair of Mountain Warehouse waterproof trousers or a quality waterproof jacket will keep you in touch with the elements yet protected from their force. Waterproof clothing is the best way to keep yourself warm and dry.

Waterproofing
All our waterproof clothing is measured for its waterproofing ability by using an advanced technical method called ‘hydrostatic head’. A waterproof jacket that has a 10,000mm hydrostatic head will be very waterproof, whereas a waterproof jacket with a 1000 hydrostatic head will be less so. Make sure you select your waterproof clothing carefully by judging the conditions you’re going to be using it in. There are other factors to consider as well; a waterproof jacket or pair of waterproof trousers with taped seams will be more waterproof than one that does not have this feature. One of our best waterproof jackets is our Active 3 Layer waterproof jacket which is the ideal choice for very wet conditions.

Breathability
Many of our waterproof jackets and waterproof trousers are made of advanced materials that allow your skin to breath, keeping you cool even in active use. If you are going to be fairly active, go for a waterproof jacket like the Storm 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket, which has a mesh inner lining for enhanced breathability.

Lightweight and compact, a handy packaway jacket is the ideal choice of waterproof for those on the go. Offering effective protection in wet weather, these jackets can be folded down into small packs that can easily slot into your rucksack, so the only time you have to think about it is when you need it. Our Packaway jackets are neatly contained in drawstring bags making them easy to carry and transport.

Packed with features
A packaway jacket is a brilliant lightweight outdoor jacket; complete with taped seams and technically advanced fabric, torrential rain has no chance in the face of this highly effective garment! For an advanced option, why not try our Extreme Softshell Jacket which is showerproof, windproof and breathable.

Cleaning and Waterproofing
You’ve bought your waterproof jacket and chosen the right pair of waterproof trousers, but what about keeping them that way? Washing a waterproof garment or allowing it to become dirty immediately lessens its waterproofing ability, but don’t fear; help is at hand.

An effective solution
Mountain Warehouse has various products that can clean your outdoor clothing and equipment, as well as restoring any waterproofing ability. We even have a handy product that does both; check out our Wash and Proof, which is all you need to keep your favourite outdoor clothing outdoors-ready.
