What makes a good rain jacket?
A good rain jacket should be both waterproof and breathable. Kathmandu’s men’s raincoats [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-puffer-jackets] feature advanced waterproofing technologies to keep you dry while allowing moisture to escape. For a deeper understanding of waterproof ratings, check out our blog on waterproofing explained.

Are rain jackets suitable for layering?
Yes! Layering is key to staying warm and dry in wet weather. Pair your rain jacket with a puffer jacket [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-puffer-jackets] for insulation or a wind and softshell jacket [http://kathmandu.com.au/collections/mens-wind-softshells] for added wind resistance. Learn more about effective layering in our guide on rain jacket layers explained.

Can I use a raincoat for outdoor activities?
Absolutely! Whether you’re hiking, camping, or commuting, our rain jackets for men are designed for performance and versatility. If you’re planning an outdoor adventure, don’t forget to pack one of our umbrellas [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/umbrellas] for extra protection during heavy rain.

How do I choose between men’s and women’s rain jackets?
While both offer excellent waterproofing, men’s raincoats are tailored for broader shoulders and longer torsos, while women’s rain jackets [https://www.kathmandu.com.au/collections/womens-rain-jackets] provide a more fitted design. Both options deliver the same high-quality protection against the elements.

Are Kathmandu rain jackets eco-friendly?
Yes, many of our rain jackets are made using recycled materials and treated with durable water repellent (DWR) finishes that are PFC-free.
