The Best Men’s Raincoats, According to Cool People

If you’re willing to spend a little more on a nice-looking raincoat that performs well, consider this Patagonia jacket, which comes recommended by multiple cool guys. It’s approved by actor, hiker, and former outdoors outfitter Ross Cowan and Chris Black, with Tracy adding it’s an “amazing piece” and another bestseller at REI Soho. Like the Marmot jacket above, it has pit zips, and its three layers of waterproof protection (hence the 3L name) mean that this actually repels water, rather than just protecting your clothes from it. Another fan of this raincoat is photographer Corey Jermaine (he has it in green, though it comes in this blue and 8 other colors), who told us he’s worn this in some of the “ugliest rain” you can imagine and that the jacket is as fashionable as it is functional. “I love its slick side pockets for storage and the unobtrusive hood. But it’s also a stylish item I can throw on and not have to think about, because it’ll just work with anything.”
