Every woman’s outdoor wardrobe should have a women’s long waterproof jacket. After all, whether you’re embarking on a windy, wet coastal walk or facing a drizzly dog walk, staying dry is what’s important. A longer length coat provides better protection from the elements, shielding you from spray, the wind, and keeping your clothes dry. With the right long jacket, you don’t have to worry about turning up to work with a damp back or soggy trousers. You can just get on with your day in confidence, without giving the weather a second thought.

As experts in outdoor clothing, Columbia Sportswear®’s range of women’s jackets is designed to meet the demands of real life, wherever it takes you. Packed with advanced waterproof technologies and available in a range of styles, they’re made to perform. If you’re after a waterproof jacket that works as hard as you do, you’re in the right place.

How our waterproof technology keeps you dry

It’s not just the length of our long jackets that protects you from the rain and wind. At Columbia Sportswear®, our jackets feature advanced fabric technologies that block out water while allowing air to flow freely, so you stay dry, warm, and comfortable all day (well, for as long as you're wearing the jacket).

OutDry™ is a waterproof membrane bonded directly to the outer shell, stopping rain before it even hits the fabric. Omni-Tech™ is a multi-layer system that’s waterproof, windproof and breathable. These technologies act as built-in barriers so you don’t have to deal with damp shoulders, soggy cuffs and cold breezes spoiling your day. While water-resistant jackets hold off light drizzle, a waterproof jacket will go the extra mile and withstand a proper downpour.

Top features of a women’s long waterproof jacket

Not all jackets are created equal. In fact, the right details make all the difference when you’re facing wet and windy conditions. Here are just some of the things to look out for in a good, long waterproof jacket:

• Two-way zips
• Zippered hand pockets
• Detachable hood
• Chin guard
• Back venting
• Adjustable waist, cuffs and hems
• Lightweight linings
• Packable hood options
• XS to XL and XXL sizes

To help you find the perfect women’s coat, use the filters to search by size, colour, activity, price and features. Whether you're looking for a belted parka, lightweight raincoats, or a midi option, our filters make it quick and easy to find what you need.

And for complete wet-weather protection, pair your jacket with women’s waterproof trousers and a sturdy pair of hiking shoes, perfect for hiking, dog walks and everyday errands when the skies open.

Breathability and comfort

Staying dry on the outside is only half of what these jackets can do. They are also designed to offer great breathability, so you don’t have to worry about overheating on the inside. Long waterproof jackets use moisture-wicking linings and vented panels that allow heat from your body to escape while keeping the rain out. Whether you’re planning a hiking trip or just rushing for the train, a breathable jacket keeps you moving freely and confidently, even when layered over performance base layers, a fleece gilet or even a cosy sherpa jacket.

Design and style

Something we feel strongly about at Columbia Sportswear® is that you shouldn’t have to choose between style and performance. Fortunately, with our jackets, there’s no compromise. Our women’s long waterproof jackets come in a variety of designs, from belted and structured to relaxed mid-lengths. And whether you’re after classic black, khaki, blues, greens or soft neutrals, our collection combines personality and performance. This makes them ideal for exploring the great outdoors, heading to the city or stashing in your bag for your next getaway.

With styles to suit small frames to big builds, and prices that reflect quality and performance, our women’s jackets are built for real life.
