Like it or not, the rainy season is upon us. If this autumn/winter will be anything we had last year, you'd better prepare for some moisture. I have collected a few waterproof jacket deals below for those who prefer to stay dry even if it rains heavily outside.

This roundup contains more premium options; you probably already know where to look if you want something cheap. However, these might be your best options if you need something durable from a reputable brand.
