Whereas the Beta LT features a burly shell that's purpose-built to handle winter weather and sustained wet conditions, the Storm10 is more suitable for summer alpine environments.

Filter by Roxy and Superdry for ski clothes and winter down jackets in cute colours and super-fresh designs. One of the most sought-after features in a waterproof rain jacket is breathability: the ability for perspiration and other moisture to exit the jacket without outside water coming in.This is not a jacket that stretches lower at the back, so I wouldn’t recommend it for cycling when your backside is more exposed. After many many requests, DRY KIDS have launched their adult version of the best selling Waterproof all in One Rainsuit.

In the grand scheme of things, that’s not too much money for a good coat that could last a lifetime. For a similar concept but with a more durable, around-town-friendly build, check out TNF’s Resolve 2. Most notably, we found the fit of the Rainier to be very large (depending on how you plan to layer underneath, it may be best to go down a full size).
