The Swampmaster Stormgear Waterproof Jacket is the top half of the Stormgear wet weather system. Built from 6,000mm-rated Dry-X™ breathable fabric with double welded seams, a foldaway hood, storm flap pockets, and an adjustable waist, it delivers serious waterproof performance for fieldwork, shooting days, and countryside use from XS to 3XL in Green.
Why We Recommend It
At £46.50 for a 6,000mm-rated jacket with double welded seams and a foldaway hood, the Stormgear Jacket is punching well above its weight. Most waterproof jackets at this price point compromise on seam construction or breathability — this one doesn't. The Dry-X™ fabric is genuinely breathable (Class 2) which matters enormously on active days when you're walking up, beating, or working with your dog. Pair it with the Stormgear Over Trousers or Bib & Brace for a complete matched wet weather system.

My friends, I have watched Craig button this jacket up on some genuinely horrendous mornings and carry on like nothing was happening. Horizontal rain, cold wind, the sort of conditions where sensible people stay indoors and watch through the window. He came back dry. That is honestly all the review this jacket needs. Get the full Stormgear set and you'll be unstoppable. 🐾

How To Use
Pull on over your base and mid layers. Adjust the drawcord waist to seal out wind and rain at the hem. Deploy the foldaway hood in heavy rain by unfolding from the collar and adjusting the drawcord for a secure fit around the face. In lighter conditions, fold the hood away into the collar. Use the storm flap pockets for items you need to keep dry — phones, game book, cartridges.
Care Guide
- Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle — do not use fabric softener as it impairs the DWR waterproof coating
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry naturally away from direct heat
- Do not iron directly on the outer fabric
- Reproof with a DWR spray periodically to restore water beading performance after repeated washing
- Store hanging or folded in a cool, dry place — avoid compressing for long periods which can affect the coating

FAQs
Is this jacket part of a matched set?
Yes — the Stormgear Jacket is part of the Swampmaster Stormgear wet weather system, which also includes the Stormgear Waterproof Over Trousers, the Stormgear Bib & Brace, and the Stormgear Split Leggings. All use the same 6,000mm Dry-X™ fabric with double welded seams for a consistent matched system.
What makes double welded seams better than taped seams?
Welded seams bond the fabric layers using heat, eliminating the needle holes that allow water ingress in stitched seams. Double welded seams apply two bonds for additional waterproof integrity at high-stress points — making them more robust than single-welded or taped seam alternatives.
Is the jacket suitable for active outdoor use?
Yes — the Dry-X™ fabric is breathable to Class 2, which means moisture vapour from your body can escape outward during active use. This significantly reduces the build-up of sweat and condensation inside the jacket compared to non-breathable waterproofs.
How do I choose the right size?
Size to your usual clothing size. The adjustable drawcord waist and relaxed field cut give a good range of fit adjustment over mid layers. If you plan to wear a thick fleece or gilet underneath, go up one size.
Is there a Navy version available?
The Green colourway is listed here. Please check our full Swampmaster range for additional colourway availability.
