Outdoor jackets women
A windproof and waterproof outdoor jacket for women from Regatta or Jack Wolfskin is essential if you want to stay warm and dry while hiking. Waterproofness doesn't mean the same thing for every product, it's expressed using the term water column. Below you can read what these water columns actually mean.
Windproof and waterproof outdoor jacket for women
The water column of an outdoor jacket from Regatta or Jack Wolfskin is expressed in mm. Here's what the values mean:
- From 0 mm: water-repellent, but not waterproof.
- From 1,000 mm: keeps out water, but not resistant to pressure.
- From 2,000 mm: stays waterproof during longer rain showers.
- From 5,000 mm: resistant to prolonged and intense weather.
- From 15,000 mm: resistant to extremely heavy rain showers.
Temperature and wearing comfort
Most outdoor jackets from Helly Hansen are able to wick away moisture, keeping skin dry and warm. Make sure you choose a jacket in the right size, not too tight but not too loose either.
Tips
In winter it often gets dark quickly outside. To stay visible, you can choose a brightly coloured jacket or an outdoor jacket with reflective details.
