TV presenter Helen Skelton has selected a lightweight waterproof jacket from Go Outdoors that promises to keep wearers dry during unpredictable British summer downpours without feeling bulky or uncomfortable in warm weather.
The Columbia Inner Limits™ IV Waterproof Jacket, priced at £110, is described as 'the perfect hiking companion' with ventilation and breathability for comfort during high-output activities. While designed for camping, it suits countryside walks and everyday tasks.
The jacket offers fully waterproof protection against sudden rain while remaining breathable for warmer conditions, making it suitable for the UK's changeable summer climate. It layers easily over t-shirts, activewear, or thin knitwear.
For those seeking more affordable options, the Seasalt Cornwall Seafaring Waterproof Coat (£170) features an A-line parka shape and fishtail hem in navy or khaki. Joules' Hove Khaki Green Waterproof Windbreaker Jacket (£89) combines a funnel neck with a trendy khaki shade.
