storm jacket

Waterproof outer layer

A storm jacket is a waterproof outer layer designed to protect against rain, wind, and harsh weather.

Unlike lighter rain jackets, storm jackets typically feature heavier construction, sealed seams, and hoods that can withstand severe conditions: Pack a storm jacket if you're hiking above the treeline.

The term emphasizes ruggedness over casual use.
