Rainwear Retail Stores
Stores for rain jackets, coats and wet-weather clothing
Rainwear stores sell the clothing that keeps weather from canceling the day: waterproof jackets and coats, rain pants, waterproof boots and the umbrellas and hats that finish the job. The category's language rewards learning: waterproof means water does not pass the fabric, water-resistant means it sheds light rain briefly, and ratings in millimeters describe how much water pressure a fabric withstands before leaking. Sealed seams, storm flaps and hoods that move with the head separate real rain gear from a coated fashion jacket. The retailers listed here span city rainwear (trench coats and smart waterproofs for commuting) and technical outdoor rain gear built for trails and work. Buy for your rain: the drizzle of a city commute and a day of field work in a downpour are different specifications.

Stutterheim: On the small island
of Arholma in the Stockholm archipelago, Stutterheim founder Alexander
Stutterheim discovered his grandfather's old raincoat in a barn, shortly
after he passed away. This classic fisherman's raincoat, heavy, durable
and timeless, provided the inspiration for the first Stutterheim
raincoat, the Arholma, and continues to inform the modern
interpretations they produce today.
Since you are searching for vests, you may also find interest in umbrellas or rain hats.

City Rain and Country Rain
Urban rainwear has become real fashion: waterproof trench coats, macs and sleek shells in city colors that happen to carry membranes and taped seams, letting a commuter arrive dry and dressed. Outdoor rainwear makes the opposite trade, prioritizing coverage, venting and durability over silhouette: three-layer shells, pit zips, brimmed hoods and rain pants that pull over work boots. Many wardrobes need one of each, and the stores on this page stock both ends, plus the children's puddle suits, packable ponchos and waterproof overtrousers that complete a household's defenses.
Footwear deserves a paragraph of its own: waterproof boots and shoes, from classic rubber wellingtons to membrane-lined hikers, decide whether the rest of the outfit's dryness matters. Fit them with the socks you will wear, and remember that rubber boots do not breathe: liners and moisture-wicking socks earn their place on long, wet days. Whatever your climate, buy rainwear before the forecast forces the purchase; the stores listed here are best shopped in a dry week, with time to test hoods, cuffs and zips properly.
Common Questions
What waterproof rating do I need?
For light, short exposure, water-resistant coatings suffice. For commuting and everyday rain, look for waterproof-breathable shells around 10,000 mm with taped seams. For prolonged heavy rain or outdoor work, 20,000 mm and above, fully sealed seams and storm closures are the serious end. Breathability ratings matter equally if you will be active: an impermeable bin liner is waterproof and miserable.
Why do seams matter so much in rainwear?
A waterproof fabric is pierced by thousands of needle holes at its seams, and water finds them. Taped or welded seams seal those holes; critical-seams-taped garments seal only the major seams and cost less but leak at the rest in sustained rain. For genuine downpour use, choose fully taped construction and check that zippers are storm-flapped or water-resistant.
How do I care for waterproof clothing?
Wash with technical-wash products, not fabric softener, which clogs coatings and membranes; tumble dry low or warm-iron to reactivate the durable water-repellent finish as the maker directs. When water stops beading on the surface, reproof with a wash-in or spray-on treatment. Store rainwear clean, dry and uncompressed so coatings and seam tape last.
