Raincoats are essential during the rainy seasons. While some may only need one to take their pet for a walk or walk up a few meters, some may need a raincoat for biking, heavy rains, and longer hours. This is why it is important to check the quality of your raincoat before you buy one. We have listed down some of our criteria for selecting the best raincoats for bikers and men in India.

Waterproof Material: We have selected high-quality raincoat materials like PVC, specially coated Nylon, and Polyester. PVC among all three is considered the most waterproof material for of raincoats and while Polyester and Nylon aren’t completely waterproof, they can still be highly water resistant if coated with extra special material.

Seams and Stitching: There are 3 types of seams commonly found on raincoats; Taped seam, Sealed seam, and Stitched seam. The taped seam is considered the best followed by Sealed Seam. Both of these seams prevent water from seeping through the stitching. In the article, we have only selected raincoats with Sealed seams or Taped seams.

High Neck Collar: Seemingly a very small part of your raincoat but you miss this one detail and your raincoat (even if made from the best material) will seep water inside. Most (if not all) of the men’s raincoats we have chosen come with a high-neck collar.

Hood Design: Another small but important detail to check when buying a raincoat is the hood design. Is the hood adjustable? Does it have a drawstring for added fit? Does it have some extra coverage on top-front to avoid the dripping rainwater from seeping through your neck?

Length and Fit: This is more on your part to check before you buy a raincoat for yourself. Consider checking the length of the pants (a bit longer is better if you need one while biking) as well as the fit (not too loose but not too tight)

Breathability: Okay, we can’t ignore this one even if we want the raincoat to be waterproof. Most of the raincoats for men and bikers mentioned on this list are made with a breathable design.

Below are mentioned some of the best raincoats for men to wear this rainy season. These raincoats are from some of the best raincoat brands such as Zeel, Rynox, and Decathlon among others.
