A conversation on Twitter and on the forum I'm a member of about decent waterproof/resistant outerwear threw up a few names; Elka, Stutterheim, Marmot, The North Face and finally RAINS. Creating their first rain jacket in 2011, RAINS are relative newcomers to the outerwear party. Full waterproof jackets are quite a rarity on the market, in terms of the style and price Danish brand are aiming at. There's a few rubbery competitors out there, but sometimes you don't need to break the bank to get something which is the real deal. 

The current RAINS collection features outerwear in mid (RRP £70) and long length, ponchos and a belted curved style, available in navy, khaki, orange and yellow. Each piece is made from a durable PU/Poly mix, making them 100% waterproof, coping with the heaviest of downpours. Their accessories range has been extended this season, carrying a range of backpacks and duffle bags and sleeves; the MSN Backpack seems like the perfect answer to my constant soaking commute around town. 

Current UK stockists include newly opened The Cloth Stop, Manchester and atoo are carrying some limited edition pieces.

  2. Thanks for the link, for a little while I've been looking for a simple classic rain mac just like this for my boyfriend but many seem to be either crazy prices or not 100% waterproof but these are perfect. Have just seen they do a version for ladies too, think matching his and hers may be a step too far but I am seriously tempted.
