1. Outdoor jacket
As the name suggests, these are jackets that you can wear excellently during intensive outdoor activities. Think of a forest walk, a bike ride or a survival trip during a men's weekend. The outdoor brand par excellence is Barbour. Their wax jackets are world-famous because they not only protect you from moisture and wind, but also prevent you from overheating. This makes it no problem to stay active during unpredictable weather. In addition, there are brands such as New Zealand Auckland that give your outfit a rugged touch.
2. Functional jacket
These are jackets specifically designed to protect you from the elements. Think of rain jackets, parkas and reflective jackets. The jackets by Tenson, for example, use an incredibly strong combination: they're lightweight, insulating and partly made of recycled polyester. Didriksons is a brand that also takes active men into account. They design their jackets with a timeless design that's also practical. Think of detachable hoods, smooth zips and various types of pockets to store your valuables.
3. Padded jacket
Especially when you expect a lot of wind, padded jackets offer the solution. They're fitted with an insulation layer that can be made of down, synthetic fibres or wool. This keeps you pleasantly warm during unsettled weather. Moreover, they're easy to combine with a pair of rugged jeans and a warm jumper for a sporty outfit.
