Rain is part of hiking in Britain — it’s what keeps our hills green and our trails alive. But with the right waterproof gear, you can stay comfortable and keep walking no matter what the forecast throws your way.
Our Waterproof Gear Reviews and Guides cover everything from lightweight hiking jackets to durable waterproof trousers and shells, all tested and chosen with UK conditions in mind. Whether you’re tackling a multi-day trail like the West Highland Way or braving a windy ridge in Snowdonia, you’ll find clear, honest advice to help you choose the kit that works.
Each review is based on real-world trail use, not lab tests — because staying dry on a wet Cumbrian morning is what really matters.
