Collection: Mountain & Hiking — Jackets

On the trail, a jacket has one job: keep water out while letting sweat escape. A hardshell with a waterproof-breathable membrane and taped seams handles sustained rain and wind on exposed ridgelines, while a softshell trades some waterproofing for stretch and breathability on drier, more active days. Look at the hydrostatic head rating for how much rain it can withstand and the breathability figure for how well it vents body heat — a jacket weak on both will leave you clammy on a steep climb.

Our hiking jacket range covers hardshells, softshells and insulated layers from trusted outdoor brands, all shipped free across Europe. Because the right jacket depends on the terrain and season you're heading into, our 14-day returns policy lets you try one out before committing.
