These upcoming days will be all about comparisons between brands and fabric technologies, with the first one being today’s comparison review of Fjällräven and The North Face.

Another thing they have in common is their prices, so we are talking high-end products, as you will see below.

As per usual, we will look at each separately, how they came to be, where they stand now, and what materials and prices you can expect when purchasing one of their jackets.

7 Beautiful Water Repellent Jackets for Rainy Days, Men & Women

7 Beautiful Water Repellent Jackets for Rainy Days, Men & Women

Time for a new jacket selection! Today we have picked 7 jackets that you can wear in different weather conditions, with the main criteria being that they are water-repellent so that they can be worn when it rains, too.

In the past, we have compiled several selections of jackets that you can wear when it rains, but they were all waterproof options.

So why focusing on water-resistant and water-repellent ones, then? Well, because, unless a jacket is up there in price and made of breathable and waterproof membranes such as Gore-Tex, they are typically not breathable at all.

Take, for example, rain jackets.

These are great for protecting against the rain, but what if you don’t want to purchase several jackets for different purposes? Especially if you are mostly outdoors for sports and other activities, which turns rain jackets into a hindrance due to overheating.

This brings us to versatile, water-repellent jackets, which come in many designs and varieties that you can wear for jogging, walking, layering and practically any other activity.

With that being said, let’s jump right into today’s selection!

We over here at Casual Geographical are really enjoying our newest series of Scandinavian brands and we hope you are enjoying it, too. Most importantly, we hope these selections are helpful and that you can find the style and designs that fit your best.

We started with Norway and then moved on to Sweden. Today, it’s Denmark’s turn. We will be looking at 8 Danish brands and their key products, as well as going through a short history and introduction of each. After all, this is a selection of Danish brands that you should know.

As with the two previous selections, we picked these brands not solely for their technical sports jackets but also based on versatility. Not everyone is looking for a jacket that is good only for sports and similar activities, so why not have something for everyone?
