Men's Hiking Jackets

An essential companion in every season, the men's hiking jacket protects against wind and rain while moving with you on the trail. Whether a lightweight windproof or a breathable waterproof, the right choice depends on the weather and the effort ahead. Here's what to look for when picking yours.

A protective layer for every season

The men's walking jacket is the layer that stands up to the elements: wind, rain, chilly mountain air. Depending on the season and how hard you're pushing, you'll want an ultralight windbreaker for dry, breezy conditions, or a breathable waterproof jacket for rain and mountain weather. An essential that packs down small at the bottom of your rucksack and comes out the moment the weather turns.

Windproof and waterproof

A windbreaker blocks the wind that chills you fast at altitude; a waterproof adds a membrane against heavy rain. Both perform best when breathable, letting sweat escape during exertion. Taped seams, an adjustable hood and handy pockets round off a jacket that works hard on the trail.

Lightweight and freedom of movement

A well-cut men's jacket moves with you without restricting: roomy armholes, supple fabric, low weight. It slots neatly into a layering system, worn over a men's fleece jacket or a down jacket once the cold sets in. Compare styles in our walking jacket range.

How to choose the right one?

Start with how you'll use it: breezy summer outings (windbreaker), mountain and rain (breathable waterproof), high-intensity efforts (softshell). Check the breathability, the fit, and whether it has a hood. You'll also find our women's walking jackets, so the whole family's kitted out.

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.
