How to select the right waterproof rain jacket for your activity
With the many types and features available, we know choosing the right waterproof rain jacket can be a daunting process. The first thing you will need to consider is how much rainfall and warmth protection you will need. K2 Base Camp offers lightweight waterproof rain jackets, water-resistant down jackets, and GORETEX waterproof rain jackets.
Lightweight waterproof jackets are great for activities where you won't be exposed to long periods of rainfall or the cold and need something that you can easily carry with you and take out. The K2 Base Camp range of lightweight and non-bulky waterproof rain jackets are built for flash-storm protection and sudden mid-route downpour, to be breathable, and easily packed down and clipped to your harness. Lightweight waterproof jackets are great for any activity involving long distances.
Highly water-resistant jackets provide you with an insulating layer to keep you warm for cold and windy during excursions above the treeline. The K2 water-resistant down jacket range includes the best from Outdoor Research which features exclusive AscentShell™ technology. These jackets provide unprecedented stretch and moisture management with a scold-proof outer layer, perfect for alpine climbing and high exertion activities.
