Men's Waterproof Hiking Jacket at Arc'teryx

When the weather turns on the trail, a waterproof hiking jacket helps keep you dry and comfortable. Our GORE-TEX hiking jackets feature sealed seams and adjustable hoods for added weather protection, with a fit that allows you to move freely when using trekking poles, scrambling over uneven ground or carrying a pack.

How a Waterproof Hiking Jacket Keeps Rain Out

Waterproofing is a system, not a single fabric. The membrane blocks water and wind, taped seams close the stitch lines, and an adjustable hood and cuffs seal the openings where rain tends to get in. Our Beta Jacket pairs a GORE-TEX ePE shell with all three, and you can compare it with the wider range of GORE-TEX jackets.

Men's Lightweight Waterproof Jacket Options for Packing

The Beta SL trims weight from the same GORE-TEX ePE shell, and the Alpha Lightweight is a GORE-TEX climbing shell built for long days in the mountains. If you are choosing between a hiking rain jacket and a full hard shell jacket, start with how much rain you expect, and add waterproof hiking pants when it will be steady.

A Waterproof Jacket That Breathes on the Climb

A jacket that keeps rain out but traps sweat leaves you just as wet. GORE-TEX moves vapour outward while you work, and opening the front zip on a climb sends out the rest. Layer a light mid layer underneath for the cold stops, and pair the jacket with a hiking jacket for dry days and hiking shoes with a waterproof upper for wet ones.

Men's Waterproof Hiking Jacket FAQs

What is the best men's waterproof jacket for hiking in Australia?

Australian hiking swings from sudden summer storms to cold, wet fronts in the alps and Tasmania, so a light GORE-TEX shell that packs small and holds up in sustained rain covers the widest range. If you hike in the high country, step up to a waterproof jacket with a full hood.

What is the difference between a hiking rain jacket and a hardshell?

A hiking rain jacket is usually lighter and simpler, built to be carried and worn in showers. A hardshell uses a more robust membrane and fabric, with a bigger hood and tougher face, for sustained rain, wind and alpine weather. For hiking, a lighter shell is enough on most days.

Is a GORE-TEX jacket worth it for hiking?

If you hike in rain often, yes. GORE-TEX is waterproof, windproof and breathable, which is the combination you want when you are climbing in wet weather. For short fair-weather walks, a lighter shell or softshell may be all you need.

Can I wear a waterproof hiking jacket every day?

Yes. A waterproof shell that handles a trail downpour is more than enough for the commute, and a streamlined cut works in town as well as in the bush. One jacket that covers both is easy to justify when it is also the layer you grab first.
