Choosing Wet Weather Clothing

Wet weather clothing at John Norris will help to keep you warm and dry if you get caught in the rain, or need to be out in all weather, at all times of year.

If you're not sure what wet weather clothing you need or why, then here's what you need to think about.

You'll want to establish what you want your wet weather clothing for. Staying dry whilst taking the dog for a walk in the rain will require different wet weather clothing compared to a landowner, or an angler who may be outside in all weathers.

You might want different types of wet weather clothing depending on the time of year. During the colder months, you'll want a warm jacket that is also waterproof, whereas in the summer you'll want something lighter that keeps the rain off you, and doesn’t make you too hot.

Waterproof jackets are staple items of wet weather clothing, and with brands including Barbour, Musto, Seeland, Schoffel, Simms and Snowbee you're guaranteed to find what you're looking for.

Waterproof trousers are also an essential item of wet weather clothing, and will ensure that whether you're shooting or fishing, you can stay dry. Technical materials and windproof designs means that trousers can offer just as much protection and comfort as waterproof jackets.

You'll want to make sure that you have a good fitting hood or waterproof hat as part of your wet weather clothing. You won't want to get your head cold and wet, and you certainly can't hold an umbrella whilst fishing or shooting.

The right sort of gloves can make a huge difference too, and you'll want to make sure that you hands don’t get cold and wet, no matter what you're doing.

Waterproof boots are well worth the investment if you spend any time outdoors, and will be just as important as your other items of wet weather clothing. You might want a pair of technical wellingtons, perhaps a pair of Hunter boots, or you may prefer a walking boot style. As the terrain will be slippier when it's wet, you'll need good grip from your boots to make sure that you don't fall over when it rains.

No matter whether you're going fishing or shooting, or are a landowner or festival goer, you'll want to make sure that you have the right wet weather clothing, so that you can enjoy your time outdoors.
