The Swampmaster No-Sweat Stormgear Waterproof Jacket is built for serious fieldwork in the worst British weather. Part of the Xpert Swampmaster range, it uses Dry-X™ Breathable Waterproof fabric tested to 6,000mm — four times the minimum standard — so you stay dry and comfortable whether you’re on a drive, working dogs in the rain, or waiting in a wet hide. Class 2 breathability means it actively moves moisture away from your body. Double welded seams, foldaway hood, storm-flapped pockets. Colour: Navy. Sizes XS–3XL. Price: £46.50. Brand: Swampmaster.
Why We Recommend It
Most waterproofs keep rain out but trap sweat in — which means you end up equally wet from the inside on an active day in the field. The Stormgear Jacket solves that with Dry-X™ Class 2 breathability, meaning it actively moves moisture vapour away from your body while blocking rain. Tested to 6,000mm — four times the minimum standard — this is not a jacket built to pass a lab test and fail in a November downpour. Double welded seams, storm-flapped pockets and a foldaway hood with drawcord mean every detail is designed for real fieldwork. At £46.50 for a jacket of this technical specification, it is exceptional value.
Key Benefits

- Dry-X™ Waterproof, Windproof & Breathable Fabric — keeps you dry and comfortable all day
- Double welded seams — prevents moisture ingress at stress points
- Foldaway hood with adjustable drawcord — fast deployment when conditions deteriorate
- Storm-flapped pockets — keeps game cards, phone and essentials dry

Craig gets this one out every season without fail. I have watched him stand in horizontal rain on a November drive looking completely composed while everyone around him looked as though they had jumped in the river. The No-Sweat part is accurate — he is not sweating either. This is the mark of a jacket that genuinely does what it claims. My friends, if Craig is wearing it in the worst weather the British countryside can produce, it is worth your serious attention. 🐾

How To Use
Pull on over your mid-layer before heading out. Deploy the foldaway hood using the drawcord when conditions deteriorate — the hood adjusts to keep your face clear while maintaining coverage. Tighten the waist drawcord during slow periods to retain warmth, and loosen during active sections to allow ventilation. Use the storm-flapped pockets to keep your game card, phone, cartridges and essentials dry throughout the day.
Care Guide
- Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not dry clean or iron
- Re-proof with a technical waterproof reproofer (spray-on or wash-in) every 1–2 seasons or when DWR finish stops beading water
- Store unfolded in a dry location — avoid compressing for long periods
- Do not use fabric softener — degrades DWR finish and breathability

FAQs
Is this jacket genuinely waterproof or just shower resistant?
Genuinely waterproof — tested to 6,000mm, which is four times the industry minimum standard for waterproofing. It is rated Class 4 Water Penetration, designed for sustained heavy rain in field conditions.
Will I overheat wearing this on an active day?
The Dry-X™ fabric is rated Class 2 breathability, which means moisture vapour escapes while rain stays out — designed specifically for active fieldwork such as dog handling, beating and walked-up shooting.
Does it pack down small?
The hood folds away neatly and the jacket is designed to be layered over mid-layers. It is built for field durability first rather than as a packable travel jacket.
What sizes are available?
XS through to 3XL — a full range to suit all builds. Use the size guide on this page to select the correct fit.
How do I maintain the waterproofing?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Re-proof with a technical waterproof reproofer (spray-on or wash-in) every one to two seasons, or whenever you notice the DWR finish is no longer beading water on the surface.
