Frequently Asked Questions
Which hiking jacket is right for a man?
A lightweight windbreaker for dry, blustery days, a breathable waterproof jacket for rain and mountain conditions, or a softshell for comfort during sustained effort. Choose according to the weather and the intensity of your activity.
Should the jacket be waterproof or windproof?
A windbreaker is fine for dry, blustery weather; but as soon as it rains, or you're up in the mountains, a waterproof jacket with a membrane and taped seams offers far better protection. Plenty of models combine both functions.
How to choose the right size for your jacket?
Choose a size that leaves room for an insulating layer underneath without feeling baggy. Check you've got freedom in the shoulders and arms, raise your arms overhead, to make sure you can move freely while walking and scrambling.
When to wear your jacket while hiking?
As soon as the wind picks up, the rain rolls in, or the temperature drops, especially at altitude. You pull it on and peel it off as your effort level changes, keeping your temperature regulated and staying dry.
