The wind and rain currently battering our windows confirm that after what feels like the shortest summer on record, winter has arrived. As the adage goes, however, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing,” and for Autumn Winter 2024, Nordic Outdoor is stocked to the brim with weather-beating men’s waterproof jackets. To ensure you can still get the most out of the outdoors during the wetter months, we’ve compiled a list of the five best men’s waterproof jackets for winter 2024.  

 

Finding the Perfect Winter Waterproof Jacket

While rain can be guaranteed nearly year-round in parts of the UK, it’s safe to say that every autumn, we see a rush of customers in our stores looking to pick up a waterproof jacket in time for those winter downpours. The perfect winter waterproof jacket is a little different than your summer shell; it should not only provide rain protection but also add warmth and comfort for your afternoons outdoors.  

When it comes to winter jackets, we tend to look to the trusted waterproof parka as our go-to. These slightly longer styles offer more insulation than a ‘traditional’ rain jacket, while the longer cut ensures you stay warm when temperatures plummet.  

The newest collection at Nordic Outdoor is one of our best to date, featuring returning classics from the likes of Fjallraven, Helly Hansen, and newer additions like Henri Lloyd and Swiss outdoor specialists Mammut. Our range has been carefully selected against our three core tenets of style, function, and sustainability, so you can rest assured that we’ve considered all the important factors when choosing our Autumn Winter collection.  

 

Top Picks for the Best Men’s Waterproof Jackets

Fjallraven Mens Nuuk Parka Fjallraven Mens Nuuk Parka

Fjallraven Nuuk Parka – Best for Outdoor Expeditions and Cold Weather Adventures

 

An iconic style from the Swedish outdoor specialists, the Fjallraven Nuuk Parka not only offers absolute protection from the rain but is also the perfect choice when staying warm is a necessity.  

Originally known as the Yupik Parka, the Nuuk has been a mainstay in Fjallraven’s winter collection for years and is consistently one of our customers' favorite styles.  

The Nuuk Parka is a longer cut jacket, finishing below the rear at the mid-thighs, providing additional warmth when colder temperatures bite. The synthetic padding and faux fur-lined hood also help retain warmth in the winter months.  

Designed primarily as a winter jacket, the Nuuk is one of the heavier jackets in our winter range and is unlikely to stay in your wardrobe year-round. While its weight is due to the insulation it provides, if you’re looking for something lighter, explore the Nuuk Lite Parka, a more lightweight option with the same signature style.  

Unlike most Fjallraven jackets, which use the brand's iconic G-1000 fabric (water-resistant rather than waterproof), the Nuuk Parka uses 100% recycled polyamide for the shell, which is waterproof to 10,000mm. Since 2014, Fjallraven has ensured none of their products use PFA’s, increasing the sustainability of their collection.  

With ample internal and external pockets, this heavyweight winter jacket is perfect for those looking to tackle winter in style, without worrying about the temperature. Completed with the iconic Fjallraven Fox logo, this is our top pick for those looking for a waterproof winter parka.

Henri Lloyd Mens Freo Jacket Henri Lloyd Mens Freo Jacket

Henri Lloyd Freo Jacket – Best for the Style-Conscious Outdoor Lover

 

Henri Lloyd is a new addition to the Nordic Outdoor roster for 2024, and we’re incredibly excited to have them on board. While a Manchester-based outdoor brand may seem a strange choice for a company focusing on Scandinavian outdoor clothing, there are many links between the two. Henri Lloyd traditionally has a huge following in Scandinavian countries and, for a short period, was owned by a Swedish investment firm. This Autumn Winter season sees Edinburgh-based Creative Director Kestin Hare introduce his first season with the company.  

For his first collection, Kestin has dived into the archives of Henri Lloyd to find some of the brands most iconic styles and recreate them for the modern customer. The Henri Lloyd Freo Jacket is one of the standouts from the new collection and features signature detailing throughout. Based on the brand's offshore collection, the Freo Jacket is 100% waterproof, with fully taped seams, a fleece lining, and a rollaway hood for when the weather isn’t on your side.  

Completed with the brand's iconic Crown & Laurels logo on the chest and sleeve, this is the perfect style to wear in the city or on your outdoor adventures by the water.

Didriksons Stefan Jacket Didriksons Stefan Jacket

Didriksons Stefan Jacket – Best for Daily Wear and the office commute

 

Didriksons is known as the Swedish jacket brand for a reason—they’ve been protecting people from the rain since 1913. The Didriksons Stefan Jacket stands out due to its simple styling, reliability, and multiple color options.  

A bit more lightweight than some of the other jackets on this list, the Stefan is ideal for year-round use. In the winter months, it can be worn over merino wool baselayers when temperatures drop. With a zip-close pocket on the chest and Didriksons branding, this is the ideal style for the daily commute in the winter months.

Mammut Crater IV Hardshell Jacket Mammut Crater IV Hardshell Jacket

Mammut Crater IV HS Hooded Jacket – Best for Serious Outdoor Enthusiasts & Mountaineers

 

The most ‘technical’ waterproof on our list, the Mammut Crater IV Hardshell is a new arrival at Nordic Outdoor from Swiss specialists Mammut. The brand’s history stretches back to 1862, and they have put their years of experience into crafting this winter-ready waterproof jacket.  

The Crater IV is a 3-layer hardshell perfect for hiking, trekking, and mountaineering. Crafted with sustainability in mind, the jacket features a PFC-free Gore-Tex membrane, waterproof to 28,000mm.  

We love the Crater jacket for our winter hikes. Thanks to its lightweight, compressible design, this is sure to be a constant in our winter hiking pack for when the weather changes and the skies open!

Amundsen Sport Foggs Parka Amundsen Sport Foggs Parka

Amundsen Sports Fogg Parka – Best for Lovers of Traditional Norwegian Style

Amundsen Sports does things differently, offering one of the most unique styles available in the UK. Over the years, the Norwegian label has built a reputation for taking traditional designs and updating them for the modern age.

Made in Europe from a rough twill weave fabric, the jacket is fully taped and features Dry Comfort X for total protection from the wind and rain.
