Not Your Average Raincoat: 9 Game-Changers

In the past, men’s raincoats have either been one of those tacky yellow numbers…or no coat at all. For some reason there is a stigma around men in rain gear–maybe some ridiculous thought that being prepared isn’t manly–but these game changing jackets, trenches, and pullovers will shut that nonsense down for good.

Here are our picks, in a variety of price ranges, to get you through spring showers, summer storms, and even rainy fall days.

Belstaff Woodcote Wax Jacket, $695.

London Fog Durham Long Raincoat with Removable Liner, $119.

Patagonia Men’s Torrentshell Pullover, $119.

Moncler Leo Hooded Toggle Jacket in Navy, $1,260.

Gucci Poly Poplin Jacket, $2,300.

Burberry Showerproof Car Coat, $795.

Stutterheim Raincoats Stockholm, $368.

Zara Nylon Hooded Jacket, $49.90.

Burberry Long Cotton Twill Trench Coat, $995.

There are so many ways to wear rain gear. With a long trench like the classic Burberry option above, tie the belt behind your back when the rain clears up. The Gucci pullover with shorts would make a great casual weekend look. The Moncler jacket was made for summer sailing trips. And that red Belstaff coat could be dressed up or down– just remember to invest in some re-proofing wax to keep that thing weatherproof.
