Choosing your first rainwear.

Plan your rainwear combination

Start with what you already own and what you still need. Choose a jacket for upper-body coverage, a suit for both jacket and pants, or rain pants to complete your setup.

Check the fit over your layers

Compare the measurements with a non-stretch jacket or pair of pants you wear. Allow room for the clothing you will wear underneath.

Raise your arms and bend your knees. Check for tightness and overly long sleeves or hems. An M in one product may fit differently from an M in another.

Compare weights on the same basis

A jacket and a complete suit have different weights. Check the size and whether the storage bag is included to understand what you will carry.

Consider packed size and where you can reach your rainwear when rain starts.

Read the details and precautions

Check seams, zippers and hood construction as well as the fabric’s water-resistance rating. The ankle zippers on MTE029 are not waterproof.

Sweat and condensation can make rainwear damp inside. Adjust your clothing to the weather and your activity level.
