Waterproof jackets, by the numbers

Specs verified against manufacturer sites, August 2026. Membrane, waterproof rating (hydrostatic head), breathability, layer construction, weight and RRP for current UK waterproof jackets, with today's price beside each one. Figures come from the brand's own product page where it publishes them, and from the retailer's page where it doesn't. Where nobody publishes a figure the cell says "not published" rather than carrying a guess.

These numbers cannot be ranked on a single waterproof figure, because brands do not agree on what to publish: Gore reports breathability as RET and gives no per-garment hydrostatic head, Rab publishes MVTR in g/m²/24h, Patagonia publishes neither for H2No, Berghaus publishes both. The "how the brand reports it" column records which method each brand uses.
