The People's Poncho 3.0
Made from lightweight Japanese polyester, this poncho is designed to withstand very heavy rain while still allowing airflow, and is great for cyclists. Available in five colours, one size fits all. £76; thepeoples.co
The North Face Dryzzle Futurelight
North Face's Dryzzle has been around for a few years, but this new model is more breathable and offers good protection from the elements, while being light enough to jog or hike in. Stylish and lightweight, with a handy zipped chest pocket, it has an adjustable hood and storm flap, but is too short at the back for cycling. From £158; thenorthface.co.uk

Rab Arc Eco Waterproof
Rab's hi-tech fabrics are among the best, and the Arc Eco is made from breathable, three-layer, chemical-free recycled Pertex Shield Revolve material. It will keep you bone dry, and has tailored sleeves to protect you from the wind too. £235; rab.equipment
Helly Hansen Verglas Infinity Shell
Great for extreme weather, this Helly Hansen jacket is made from tough recycled three-layer fabric, and has double-zipped pockets. It offers great breathability and has good underarm vents – but it is a bit heavy, so not ideal for the warmer seasons. From £266; hellyhansen.com
Jack Wolfskin Pack & Go Shell
Great for travelling, this waterproof has a pocket that becomes the carry case. It's made from a breathable two-layer Texapore Ecosphere stretch fabric, with a recycled plastic mesh lining. From £90; jack-wolfskin.co.uk
Arc'teryx Beta LT
A great spring/summer option, this jacket has a high-quality Gore-Tex waterproofing layer and two large pit vents to release heat. The hood is helmet compatible and the pockets can still be used with backpack straps tied across the front. From £400; arcteryx.com
Berghaus Deluge Pro
A slightly more budget-friendly jacket, which offers good protection from the British weather. It has an easily adjustable hood and is relatively light (maximum 378g) so it's one you can bring on a walk just in case of rain. From £84; berghaus.com
North Face Mountain Light
Despite its name, this jacket is a more heavyweight option. It will keep the rain out, but on strenuous walks it may also keep too much warmth in. Still, its retro design makes it a stylish choice. £450; thenorthface.co.uk
Adidas Terrex Myshelter Active
This unlined shell jacket is very light, but will keep you dry in just about all weather conditions. With reflective design details it's highly visible, but the fit can be loose so avoid sizing up. From £280; adidas.co.uk
Fjällräven Keb Eco-Shell
With unique features including its eco-shell fabric specifically designed for hiking, this jacket is top quality. It is highly durable and suitable for year-round use. £520; fjallraven.com
