The best waterproof coats and jackets 2026
Rains Curve Long Jacket
If you’re looking for a raincoat that’s not just practical, but stylish too, you cannot go wrong with Rains.
The brand's Curve Long Jacket has a built-in cap drawstring hood that will keep your hair and face completely dry, snap adjustments on the sleeve cuffs, two spacious front pockets, and under-arm eyelets, along with an accentuated waist thanks to the belt.
Water will run off, dry down in minutes and keep you looking chic no matter how big a downpour you’re facing.
Marks & Spencer Goodmove Waterproof Hooded Longline Jacket
Raincoats don’t have to be drab. This shorter waterproof jacket comes in a soft pastel green shade that just screams springtime.
It has a longline shape, zip fastening, hooded neck, adjustable waist and quick-drying, waterproof fabric, with loads of pockets for your keys, phone, headphones and more.
Boden Longline Rain Mac
Love leopard print? Pick up this waterproof mac from Boden in the sale.
Available in sizes six to 22, it’s made from recycled polyester and has all the bells and whistles you need to stay dry, including an adjustable hood, long length, internal waist drawstring and a zip and popper opening.
Joules Hove Khaki Green Waterproof Windbreaker Jacket
Raincoats have upped their game, and this cropped style proves it.
There’s everything from taped seams, a storm flap, pack-away hood, elasticated cuffs and a funnel neck, partnered with a cool, boxy fit that won’t feel like you’re drowning in material.
H&M Popover Rain Jacket With StormMove
Can’t be bothered faffing with poppers and zips? This oversized raincoat is easy to throw on before heading out the door.
Designed for a spacious fit, it has a three-quarter zip at the collar, a visor hood, zipped front pockets and even side vents.
ASOS Design Rubberised Rain Parka Coat
Shopping on a budget? ASOS is always a reliable place to shop, and this minimalist parka coat at less than £50 proves it.
Still available in all sizes from four to 18, but undoubtedly not for long, this coat has plenty of great reviews, including a recent five-star review left by a shopper saying, 'The quality and the design is really good'.
Dare 2b Khaki Wander Waterproof Jacket
This khaki puffer coat is now half price at Matalan, and arguably too good a deal to pass up.
It’ll both keep you dry and warm, whether you’re spending your weekend watching the football in the cold or out on a walk with a coffee.
Monsoon Ada Waterproof Raincoat Red
Expensive? Yes. Worth the investment? Also yes. This red number comes with a packable hood, zip fastening, side pockets, taped seams and elasticated toggles at the waist.
One happy shopper, of the many five-star reviews, said: 'Absolutely stunning. Great fit and style is classic. I like the fact that you can fold the hood in. Colour is exactly as it looks.' It’s hard to argue with that.
Orla Kiely Mac Waterproof Jacket
You can’t go wrong with a classic khaki green, and this Orla Kiely jacket will not only protect you from the wet weather but save you over £100 too, thanks to Regatta’s sale.
The interior of the coat is a pretty floral print, while the exterior is a practical design to keep your warm and dry.
Sweaty Betty Motion Waterproof Longline Parka
Now this is definitely an investment, but if your day-to-day involves lots of time spent outdoors, it will get plenty of wear, and the cost-per-use will bring that price tag down.
We love the navy as an alternative to black, but you can also find it in dark green, too. Its longline design will also keep your legs warm, and the fabric is fully waterproof but feels as soft as cotton. Not to mention, there’s also an adjustable collar and waistline, as well as two front pockets.
Marks & Spencer Stormwear Waterproof Hooded Jacket
This jacket has been flying off the shelves at Marks & Spencer and is rapidly attracting five-star reviews.
One shopper said, 'I love my waterproof jacket. It is warm, windproof and completely waterproof. It is comfortable and even proof against Cornish rain. Well done M&S!' That’s won us over.
Never Fully Dressed Dark Leopard Rain Mac
This is a fun, printed twist on a winter wardrobe staple, and a playful alternative to the classic leopard print we’re used to seeing.
It has a spacious, relaxed fit, a waterproof base fabric, side pockets and an easy throw-on-and-go design.
Yours Curve Black Waterproof Fleece Lined Robe
When you’re waiting at the bus stop in the pouring rain in the middle of winter, this fleece-lined waterproof coat will save the day.
Available in sizes 14 to 28, it’s cosy and warm, and will keep you dry no matter how drenched everyone else is.
Seasalt Cornwall Penweathers Waterproof Trench Coat
A trench coat is a timeless style, and Seasalt Cornwall has given it a clever update by adding a waterproof element.
It has subtle details to keep you dry, such as an adjustable, detachable hood, angled reverse pockets to stop your hands getting wet, a waterproof inner membrane and a self-fabric waist tie and belt loops for a more flattering silhouette.
F&F Active Tonal Leopard Print Waterproof All Weather Robe
Another leopard print style is this pick from Tesco, which is a tad more subtle.
It has a super soft fleece lining, taped seams and zip pockets for running around in the rain without letting it ruin your day. For less than £60, you can’t go wrong.
