Shop Waterproof Jackets

Technical Outerwear for Sea, Mountain, and Beyond

A waterproof jacket isn’t just another layer. It’s your shield in a squall, your regulator when the climb gets steep, and often the most dependable piece of kit you’ll own. At Arksen, we engineer jackets that combine marine-grade toughness with alpine precision, using world-class fabrics and design details proven in the harshest conditions.

This guide breaks down the four key waterproof jackets in our range — so you can choose the one built for your environment.

Foul Weather Jacket

For offshore sailing, exposed marine environments, and apocalyptic commutes

When survival matters, this is the jacket. Designed for relentless spray, heavy downpours, and days exposed to the elements offshore, it’s also the ultimate armour for city commuters who refuse to be beaten by the weather.

Fabric: 3-layer marine-grade PU laminate (20,000mm waterproof / 20,000g breathability). Heavy duty oxford nylon face.
Details: High storm collar, reinforced hood brim, drainage channels, corrosion-resistant zips.
Cut: Extended drop tail and articulated sleeves for unhindered movement on deck or on the move.
Best for: Offshore sailing, expedition cruising, survival-grade commuting.

Marine engineering meets everyday resilience.

Why Arksen Jackets Are Different

Every Arksen waterproof jacket is built with the same guiding principles:

Fully seam-sealed for complete waterproofing.
PFC-free DWR treatments for sustainable water repellency.
Repairable by design, extending the life of every piece.
Durability over disposability, gear that performs for years, not seasons.

We don’t make fashion shells. We make technical armour for the elements, designed for real-world conditions, tested at sea, and proven in the mountains.
