SPRING JACKETS
Springtime weather in the UK is anyone’s guess… braced for April showers, Chris Rowlands zips up nine layers that are fit for fickle conditions
POWERFUL PROTECTORS
The mustard mantle Fjällräven Vardag
It’s an unwritten rule that raincoats should be yellow. Just ask the nearest grizzled trawlerman. For an overcoat that continues the custardy tradition, don this durable outer jacket – complete with handy front pocket. It’s also available in other colours, but why would you? £185 / fjallraven.com
The old-school overcoat Burton Freelight
The ’90s might be back in fashion, but nostalgia alone won’t keep you dry in a deluge. Luckily, this two-tone topper will. Inspired by Burton’s classic snowboarding shells, the Freelight’s nylon ripstop finish is water-repellent, ventilated and sure to earn the admiration of Gen Z. £185 / burton.com
