Weather-Proof Your Wardrobe
How to choose the right outerwear for various weather conditions.
fall is here
The season of tall boots and outfit layering paired with the not so occasional rain. As important it is to curate your ideal jacket rotation, choosing the right outerwear for the season is essential not just for style, but also for comfort and protection.
Here is how to weather-proof your wardrobe this fall.
understanding your climate
Different regions experience unique weather patterns. Here in Vancouver, fall is usually wet and chilly. Take a moment to assess your local climate—do you face heavy rain, extreme cold, or mild temperatures? Knowing this will help you decide which outerwear best fits your needs!
Rainy Days (10°C/50°F and up)
When the forecast predicts rain, opt for jackets with water repellent properties like DWR coating. But when it is really pouring- opt for a fully waterproof fabric and jacket.
Features like sealed seams mean the jacket is fully waterproof (not just the fabric). Pairing these jackets with moisture-wicking layers underneath can keep you dry and comfortable.
Colder Weather + Rain (0°C/32°F and up)
As we creep into winter, where the temperatures fluctuate more, a 3in1 style like our Re:Down Light Puffer zipped into the Waterproof Rain Jacket is ideal for fall rain days due to its versatile design, combining a lightweight waterproof shell with a warm, insulated puffer.
The detachable layers provide adaptability in unpredictable weather, ensuring both warmth and protection from rain, while its durable, sustainable materials offer comfort and eco-consciousness.
Cold Winter Days (-25°C/-13°F and up)
As the temperature really starts to drop, a down jacket might be what you’re looking for.
Why not down synthetic insulation? Down is the best for warmth due to its ability to trap air in small pockets, providing exceptional insulation with minimal weight, and its natural loft offers excellent compressibility and breathability, making it both durable and lightweight.
We use 100% regenerated recycled down that performs just as good as new, without the harm to animals while being fully circular. Our recycled down has the same performance and durability as virgin down, while being hypoallergenic and traceable.
Layering is key when adapting to changing weather. Base layer, mid-layer, outer shell. This approach allows you to weather-proof your wardrobe and adjust as conditions change. And if there is one thing to take away from this post, it is that you don’t need a million jackets to be comfortable and stylish.
