Men's Waterproof Jackets and Windproof Jackets

All our waterproofs are free from PFC's so you don't leave a trail of persistent chemicals and made with no-compromise recycled materials by factories with high social and environmental standards. When cared for they are durable to last a lifetime.

Designed for British weather

Technical performance fabrics are our competitive strength. We develop our own waterproof membranes with world-class mills.

All our waterproofs are highly breathable and highly waterproof and comparable with the very best. We wouldn't put Alpkit on it if it wasn't.

A common question is why we don't use component brands like Goretex. Our independence means we are free to develop genuinely innovative waterproof fabrics with high social and environmental standards that are long lasting with no-compromise performance. We were one of the first brands to develop waterproof and breathable fabrics that are free from PFCs.

Look after your waterproofs and they'll look after you for a lifetime of adventure.
