Making use of The North Face’s signature DryVent technology, The Quest is built for maximum water repellency while remaining lightweight and breathable. The mountain brand’s Heatseeker technology, which traps warmth within the jacket’s fibres, is a welcome addition on those chillier days, too.

Arriving by way of Nike’s All Conditions Gear range, the Phantazma packs in a seriously impressive level of protection considering its featherweight feel. Made using recycled materials, the 2.5L construction is plenty to have your back when clambering in stormy gales, and once you're done, it can be folded into a pocket for compact storage. Handy, right?

Danish wet-weather specialists Rains have been stamping their supreme Scandi-cool on stylish macs and various other bits for water-repellent apparel for yonks now...and they're bloody good at it. The brand's staple raincoats are a great, versatile addition to any wardrobe, seamlessly complementing smart and laid-back looks alike.

Two-layer GORE-TEX construction makes adidas' Terrex Xperior an ideal companion for those adventurous days on the peaks... or for just nipping to the shop when it looks miserable outside. Crafted from 70% recycled materials, the waterproof coat features an adjustable hood and cuffs, and packs away neatly should the sun threaten to reemerge.

There simply aren't many names that carry as much weight when it comes to the great outdoors. More than six decades on, Geordie-founded Berghaus remains one of the great British brands, and the Deluge Pro 3.0, made with waterproof Hydroshell fabric, remains a go-to amongst outdoorsy types for a reason.
