Technical jackets for men - this lot will have you drooling with their detail, cutting edge tech and general outdoor gnarliness

ThruDark - Skirmish Jacket

Everything the ex-Special Forces boys at ThruDark do is amazing - techy as hell, and tested to the limits by their team - but we particularly love the Skirmish Jacket, hard. It's a lightweight, packable waterproof that has laser cut air vents, a stiffened peak storm hood, aquaseal zips and many more details which we don't necessarily understand but which sound really, really cool. This is the ultimate choice for all-weather runner, cyclists and headcases of all stripes. Buy now - £345

GOOPiMADE - 'VI-RT3' Utility Kendo Jacket

GOOPiMADE are a supercool Japanese brand who count Sleaford Mods's Jason Williamson as a fan. We love this Kendo jacket, obviously a nod to the martial art, but with lovely details like a 3D pocket at the front, ribbed cuffs and detachable sleeveless layer. Just amazing and very reasonably priced. Buy now - £137

GOOPiMADE - Liberaiders Level 8 Tactical Down Jacket in Black

We couldn't resist another one from GOOPiMADE, simply because it has tactical in the title and any jacket with tactical in the title is absolutely irresistible. No idea what the details are as its just in Japanese on their website, but it's quality that's for sure, and yknow, 'tactical'. Buy now - £506.12

C.P. Company - Ba-Tic Hooded Field Jacket

Expensive but absolute top quality jacket that could help you through a hurricane. Made from wax broadcloth for an authentic dyeing process we don't quite understand, this is The Godfather of technical jackets. And it's currently on sale. Buy now - £787.50

Stone Island Shadow Project - GORE-TEX Opaque R-Nylon

From Stone Island's mysterious 'Shadow Project' (basically a niche high performance collection with requisite urbane modishness), this is a real beauty. made with an abrasion-resistant fabric, and a thin GORE-TEX membrane. Lightweight, waterproof, breathable, and just the best looking thing on earth. Buy now - £928

UNIQLO - UV Protection Pocketable Parke

Back on planet earth with the prices, and actually this is a wicked little buy, a cool waterproof that you can fold up into its attached storage pouch and pocket. Perfect for sports, festivals, life in England... Buy now - £34.90

North Face - Dryvent Synthetic Triclimate Jacket

Needs to be some North Face in here and actually you can spend ours going through the technical jackets on their site. And we did. Our pick, after many hours, was this. It has both a Heatseeker Eco insulation system, and a Dryvent system, the combination of which means it'll adapt to any climate and keep you warm, cool you down, and probably give you rub down at the end of your trek. Sexy. Buy now - £280

ARC'TERX - Lunar New Year Alpha SV Jacket

Limited Edition GORE-TEX PRO jacket featuring what ARC'TERX call Most Rugged Technology (we believe anything they say, they don't mess about this lot), this is good for any adventures on snow, rock or, er, park and has a special artwork by Zinan Lam which celebrates 'The Year of the Water Rabbit'.
