Top 10 Men's Rain Jackets

WHY YOU NEED IT: Zippered underarm vents let you quickly regulate the garment's internal temperature by releasing built-up moisture and increasing airflow.

USERS SAID: "I bought this jacket for a fall trip to Iceland. The weather sucked, but this jacket did its part in keeping me warm and dry. It acted as a great barrier to the extreme winds, and kept me dry from both the rain and my own perspiration. It's very breathable, not once did I feel to warm, despite some rigorous hikes. I'm confident that this jacket with proper base and mid-layers can deal with anything mother nature will throw at me."

BEST FOR: An every-day casual jacket that also happens to be great at repelling water

USERS SAID: "This is one of the best all-around jackets I have ever owned, and I have owned a good share of outdoor type jackets. For extreme cold, I like to wear a thinner goose down light weight jacket underneath. I have mostly bypassed my other jackets in place of this one."

LOVED FOR:The high-quality construction and sleek design

USERS SAID: "The mesh liner functions well in warmer weather to keep the outer shell away from your skin and minimize heat transfer. I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this item. The choice came down to two jackets; I'm very satisfied I selected this one and I'd purchase it again."

BEST FOR: The extended length and drawstring hood found on this jacket makes it a great option for heavier rain

USERS SAID: "This outerwear is large enough for you to fit your daily wear underneath. The pockets have plenty of room, and if you need it, the hood is easily pulled over the head and does not feel bulky on your back when not in use." 

USERS SAID: "Excellent jacket. Lightweight and fits in a backpack without taking up much room. I would recommend this for 50 + degree weather. If used with a thermal shirt, you could easily use this in below freezing weather."

LOVED FOR: This is a great commuter jacket, assuming you won't be standing in the pouring rain for hours on end. It will keep you looking sharp and feeling dry while navigating a slightly soggy trail or city street.

LOVED FOR: The anorak style, though timeless, is particularly hot at the moment. In other words, you'll never be out of fashion.

BEST FOR: Traveling! When space is a premium, you'll appreciate that this jacket folds up and packs into itself. 

BEST FOR: Keeping you dry, cool, and comfortable through windy, rainy days. 

USERS SAID: "I wore this for over an hour in constant rain for my daughter's soccer game. It kept me dry and warm the entire game. The hood is great and provided just enough coverage to keep the rain out of my face without blocking my view. It also is stylish and comfortable to wear for both men and women."

LOVED FOR: The softshell exterior and breathable mesh lining

USERS SAID: "I bought this for a fishing trip up to the Kenai River in Alaska. It rained while I was there, duh! Bottom line is that while standing in the Kenai River in the rain, wearing this jacket while wearing sock-footed waders, I stayed dry and comfortable. I also caught the best fish while it was raining. Since this jacket rolls up so small, it is now part of my packing for even the shortest trips. The attached hood is another big plus. Now get out there and explore something."

WHY YOU NEED IT: Don’t let the rain ruin your stride. Whether you’re running errands or sprints, you’ll need a high-performance jacket like this to protect you from the elements.

USERS SAID: "I am very impressed with the quality of this jacket, it looks very elegant and I've gotten compliments on it already. Definitely will be buying more in the future!"

LOVED FOR: Another great option from The North Face, the Venture II has all the features you get in the Resolve model with the added perks of cooling pit zips and a fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin without an added layer of mesh lining. This model also packs into its own pocket. 

BEST FOR: Truly a backpacker's jacket, this is the winner for packability but also makes the #1 spot in our list for user reviews, social buzz, and editorial recommendations.
