Men's Stormbird Waterproof Jacket
Finisterre · £250
Worth being NRY
Independent testing puts the Stormbird at a 20,000mm hydrostatic head over a three-layer recycled fabric, which is a genuinely high waterproof rating rather than a marketing one. Finisterre repair what they sell and take it back at end of life, so £250 buys a jacket with somewhere to go when it tears. It is a technical shell, not a town coat, and looks like one.
