When the weather turns chilly, don’t let it stop you from enjoying the best of what the world has to offer

Whether hiking through a frosty forest, windswept hillside, or braving it in the rain, as long as you have a decent winter hiking jacket, you’re good to go!

Autumn and winter can be some of the most beautiful seasons to explore the great outdoors. Here’s a guide to the best winter hiking jackets for men so you can enjoy these colder seasons at their fullest.
















A note on mid-layers and outer-layers




When hiking, it is usually preferable to wear layers so you don’ get too hot or too cold. You start with a base layer (like a jumper over other clothing). Then you have a mid-layer for warmth, usually a fleece or down-filled jacket. The outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. This means that you can wear just some, or a combination of the layers to get the ideal comfort level for the environment.

This post shows winter jackets for men that are both warm and waterproof, removing the need for a mid-layer, unless you are in the Arctic!









How is waterproofness measured?




Each jacket has a waterproof rating. It is described in mm, such as 5000mm, 10,000mm, 20,000mm etc. This refers to the amount of water that the material is able to withstand over the course of a day, before it begins to soak through.

Anything above 5000mm is considered to be very waterproof, enough to get through rainy day hikes.
