great video Man - THANK YOU. Really helpful and clearly explains the jargon in jacket types.
That's a great, informative video. Thank you very much. The different types of rain jackets clearly explained.
Thanks for the great advice! I was getting really confused with all the options. This is a REALLY great overview thank you.
This guy is full of knowledge! Thanks
Bro thank you for you video .. help me a lot to get my rab jacket ✌🏻
When I was training in the army, our packs were weighed and if they were too light, they added rocks to bring it up to 45lbs. British army packs (Bergens) were heavy empty. We also had a belt with two full water bottles, two ammo pouches and a rifle (SLR).
Too young to be old Thanks for serving our country! I salute to you.
old school training. I approve.
Excellent review, Hope to see more. What are the pants you are wearing? Cheers

AKASH MEHTA great advice!
hi thanks i am a go outdoors member just need a really good waterproof that i can depend on my mate had a mountain equipment lhoste perfectly dry my air wetted out and its through to my fleece
Hi, whats the name of the mountain equipment jacket at the end? Thanks
Nice video!
Wich one do you recommend for warmer/sunnier places, as Atacama's desert, Chile? It has to be light, breathable but has to give the support for big temperature vary and sun protection.
Layers, rather than a single "super garment"
Starting in the late 1980's, and with technology advances (bringing down costs) the US Army went from a single heavy jacket to a "Rain Shell" (often Gore-Tex) and under layers of 2 different weights (thicknesses) of polypropylene long underwear, a fleece jacket, and other options.
Layering is my advice. Based upon 40+ years of experience from the deserts of the Middle East, Western USA, various jungles, forests, mountains, and artic environments.
im looking for a jacket that has breathability and is warm and also is used for outdoors such as tree climbing and that the jacket wont go up when you stretch and yet the hood that fits tight on your head so it wont be moving around while you work.what do you recomend?
Really liked ur jacket brother, shame u didn't give out the names of the jackets- missed marketing opportunity there
Thank you @BilalErdoğan

Great review for jacket types nice video
whats the purple one at the end?
I hope ya’v got your waterproofs on, I won’t be leaving the house, the only thing I’ll be lifting is the tv remotes & the only thing I’ll be shifting is the angle of my recliner ... 😤😤😤
Would have been an idea to put some links to the jackets your talking about...
The video was filmed last year, the jackets in the video may change or no longer be stocked, which is why we don't link to them specifically. However the information in the video remains true.
Yes but do I still have to pay an extra fiver to buy something?
what model is that red rab jacket? downpour or kinetic?
How much rain jacket
So he walks in a shop, grabs a jacket and back out? I’m in looking for ages, then out
All the waterproof coating eventually wear out even if it is $700 Goretex jacket. Try the Outdry technology, it seems last longer than others.
Hello,
All outdoor jackets need to be cared for, and while the DWR can wear off over time, all waterproof jackets can be easily reproofed using Nikwax and Grangers washes to help keep it working as best as it can.
It could hinder your sales but it could save a life: You may want to make mention of how the WPB jackets can use a temporary DWR that will fail with use, and what happens when it fails (internal jacket moisture and possible hypothermia). This I would think would be what someone would be interested in when determining the best WPB jacket. The interior of the failed membrane jacket needs to also repel water so the jacket can be wiped dry or your inner clothing will dampen or get wet which can end up creating a survival situation.
Hello,
All waterproofing will wear down over time, no brand hides that fact. Reproofing will keep your jacket in working condition.
There are more and more WPB fabrics that have a relatively permanent coating on the outside that acts, not only as the membrane but also as the DWR. Reproofing type DWR's may last about 6 weeks with heavy use but these newer fabrics with their inherent DWR are far superior to the DWR reproofing variety as they are far more durable.
@@MstrRo Absolutely and Marmot EvoDry is a great example of this, which we stock. However new tech often comes at a higher price and this video is for everybody looking for a waterproof. From those who just want to stay dry around town, through to those needing more protection. So we offer up differing types of jacket available and show what each is good for.
Tried a Montane Air let water in and two Paramo Pasco's both useless on the hill in wales
Hi Nicky,
If you've had an issue with a Montane Air, it sounds faulty rather than intended. Paramo by design isn't 100% waterproof in the same design as a waterproof shield like DWR or GORE-TEX instead they are highly water resistant. It works by wicking moisture from the inside out which looks to keep you dry.
Hi @@Braden-York that is certainly an interesting theory, however wearing plastic or rubber would only be ideal if you planned to stand still in pouring rain. Something as rigerous as a multi-day hike in an item that isn't breathable would cause you to sweat, and if the item isn't breathable, the sweat sits inside your jacket and causes you to be wet anyway, this is also detrimental to being able to regulate your body temperature.
What’s that mountain equipment jacket at the end?
It's a Mountain Equipment Morphous, sadly they stopped making it about 5 or 6 years ago.
I'd love to know how that accent happened. It sounds like a childhood relocation to me but I could be way off.
Shame the red jacket he's wearing didn't fit. Far too tight and small
What's the name brand of the last jacket? (Black one)
mountain equipment
@@andyo6713 well yeah but what's the name of the jacket?
I know I'm not funny
Hi!
Pakistan cost& available
Sometimes he sounds american and sometimes he sounds english. Its hurting my brain 😂
yas yesir yussy
Ur rightt😂😂
Ikr
What brand/model of jacket does the host have on?
It's the Rab Fuse II, Richard www.gooutdoors.co.uk/rab-mens-fuse-ii-jacket-p410115
@@GOOutdoorsTV what jacket would you recommend for warmth and waterproofing, going to norway where it will be around 4 or 5 degrees and wet, with a budget of £200
Now prove it works
Is it just me or did an english accent sneak out there?
Antonia Baker dont think he has decided where he is lol
I think it might be Irish.
its a posh scottish accent
Hey nothing wrong with a British citizen, becoming an American citizen, don't fort we're all settlers in the USA, you included
It’s definitely not Scottish or Irish mainly American seems like an American who’s been living in the uk for a while
Pointless when they're short. Your legs still get pissed on. I'm looking for a knee length one.
Knee length jackets aren't really ideal for active use as they restrict movement. If you're out walking in a downpour, it's best to couple a jacket with waterproof overtrousers.
Goretex will always keep you dry along as it doesn't rain. It's an overpriced scam. This comes from experience from using 3 of them. And yes I did wash and treat mine regularly. Have moved onto an Oringi.
Hi Alan, if you've had issues withe GORE-TEX product you can return them as per the GORE-TEX guarantee. There are varying types of the GORE-TEX membrane, and some will be more suitable than others depending on your need. As with any membrane, it will wear down over time and need to be reproofed as you know.
There are varying levels of GORE-TEX with some being more breathable than others. Basic GORE-TEX would be the least breathable of them all, but will still perform far better than a standard DWR coating.
Never had any issues with any of my goretex stuff. Have had multiple jackets and trainers over the past decade and always been great. I make sure to spray the outside fabric with a good DWR every ten-or-so wears and never had an issue.
ROOONEYYYYYYYY
Polyester with PU nothing comes thru nothing goes out 😂
Hood sizing and design is limited by fabric and price point? Really!? Pocket location and hood design are design decisions that can be made at all price points and fabrics.
Hi Scott, you're right to a degree, but you'll find the pocket positions and helmet compatible hoods are often only used on jackets relevant to a more technical user. A casual jack doesn't need pockets higher up as it's less comfortable for day to day use, and you don't need a large hood without a helmet.
Them jackets are way too short....should reach at least 10/12 inches lower....
Hello, If the jackets were a foot longer they would hinder mobility and not be any use for mountain climbs, and be poor on any walk with any real distance.
What does he mean all jackets are waterproof?
Meaning you can make a jacket out of garbage bag, and it is waterproof. The trick is breathability.
I think he meant all the jackets he showed and not all. I guess all waterproof, more like water resistant, until it get soaked and wet. Then you are on your own.
@@dissmr 🤦♀
is he very nervous ?
He isn't a presenter Maxim, Charlie works in our training department at GO, we think he did really well for a first effort.
This guy sounds like an American who's been living here in England for too long, he's starting to pick up a hint of English accent.... you can tell from the ending of words like "sheet" "belt" "about" "what" "it" and "fit" which all happen to be words ending with the letter T
wasn't expecting such lying before you hit 40 seconds XD all jackets are waterproof? do you just not wear waterproof coats in the rain or something?
Them jackets are not real waterproof. Not when its trentress rain
Can u send me one used jacket.. i am from india
no
Pc Rathishs India ka naam leke aise kam to mat kr. Delete ur comment
Boss don't beg anyone
india is warm you dont even need jackets
Most waterproof jackets aren't waterproof at all. Nothing under £150 anyway.
ffs why does every review on 'waterproof' jacket talk about everything 'except' the waterproof ability of the jacket. ffs
Gore Tex is just hype....eventually, water will seep through...
Seep? You're being too kind. My 2.5 layer jacket lasts about an hour the first us after cleaning and DWR treatment. Any trip after that and it's soaked in 10-20 minutes. 4 hours on and the water has soaked my base and mid layers and is dripping back out of the sleeves.
Charlie from Go outdoors, whats your accent? You sound like an englishman who's pretend american accent keeps lapsing
Hi Dane, thanks for the polite question. Charlie is American, but has been living in England for quite some time, hence the hybrid.
@@GOOutdoorsTV Yes! Thank you! I really wanted to know and didn't expect to get an answer. Thanks a bunch!
You sound american but don't
