Amazon Prime Day is still a few days away, but already other retailers are rushing to cut prices on some premium products. You wait ages for sales to come around, and then several arrive at once – it never rains but it pours. Lucky, then, that some of the best deals we’ve seen are on waterproof jackets for men and women.
As a lifelong hiker and outdoor writer with 30-plus years of experience in getting soaked on the trails, I’m always on the lookout for good deals on the best lightweight waterproof jackets. This is one of the most essential items in any adventurous person’s wardrobe, and while we might be in the midst of summer at the moment, it’s always wise to have one close to hand or in a backpack ready for use during the next downpour. During this sale period, the following women’s jackets from leading brands like Patagonia, Montane and Rab have really caught my eye.
