Outdoor & Waterproof Clothing Options for Men
Fortunately for travelers with outdoor destination plans, warm, comfortable, and even waterproof clothes are available that do NOT make you look like you've gained 15 pounds overnight.
Gone are the days of the "Michelin Man" look with puffy vests and the only waterproof clothes available made more for the ski slope than a quiet walk around a rustic village. The further out you get on your country vacation ramble, the more important these waterproof clothing items can become. Waterproof gear has also progressed a great deal from the days of waterproof rubber rain gear. Remember those horrible-smelling yellow raincoats that were almost a wardrobe stable in the 60's?
Thanks to waterproof breathable technologies like Gore-Tex®, today’s waterproof jackets, pants, boots and clothing not only block out water but also are lightweight and breathe to allow moisture to escape from the inside. Some of the best known waterproof names besides Gore-Tex® include Marmot PreCip®, Columbia Omni-Tech® and Mountain Hardwear Conduit outerwear.
If you are looking for waterproof boots or shoes, you can either opt for leather boots with waterproof treatments that block water fairly well but are exceptionally durable, or lighter boots with waterproof Gore-Tex® membranes that will keep feet totally dry. Be sure to look for waterproof and breathability ratings on any Gore-Tex® gear: higher numbers indicate greater waterproof protection and breathability in waterproof parkas, waterproof ski jackets, or waterproof boots.

Men's Waterproof Outerwear
Men have it made when shopping for outdoor clothes.
I realize I am not a normal female, but I don't want frilly materials and bright pastels when purchasing clothes for outdoors...I want warm and I want sturdy - the same as most males require. If it is going to rain, I want to stay dry and comfortable. Common sense prevails and quite often I end up with a small-sized "mens" jacket because it suits the need instead of catering to rules of style.
These outdoor jackets, boots, and trousers for men from Sierra Trading Post
look sturdy enough even for me!
There is no bulky padding, ridiculous colors or camo, or unnecessary frills - just warm, waterproof clothes fashionable enough to wear to that 3-Star restaurant you just found off the beaten path. Stylish, warm, and dry - all at the same time...what a concept!

Gloves - When you need them, you need them!
These heated gloves were judged The Best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they kept panelists' hands the warmest without sacrificing comfort.
The Best Gloves' 7-volt rechargeable Li-ion battery produces a maximum temperature of 148.9º F, more than 50º higher than lesser gloves powered by alkaline batteries. Ranked highest for comfort, the gloves' ultra-thin stainless steel wires heat the full length of fingers and the back of the hand, unlike other gloves that created hot and cold spots. Panelists lauded the gloves' fleece interior as "very soft, with no feeling of the wires" as opposed to lesser gloves that felt bulky and stiff.
Other superior features include Thinsulate insulation that helps retain heat, a breathable membrane that keeps hands dry, and a leather palm for a confident grip.
The Best Heated Gloves.
Using technology originally developed for NASA astronauts, these lightweight gloves actually store heat in their microcapsule-insulated lining and release it back to you when you need it most. With a soft Italian-finished nappa leather exterior and a Thinsulate palm, our heat-storing gloves detect the temperature of your skin to ensure that no matter the weather, your hands won't be too cold or too warm. In Black.
The Heat Storing Leather Gloves (Men's).
These are the fleece-lined waterproof gloves that keep extremities dry and warm down to temperatures as low as -30º F. The gloves have a patented in-cuff seal that keep hands dry even when submerged. Used by the U.S. military, the gloves have an outer layer of nylon/Lycra for durability and a comfortable stretch fit, a waterproof middle layer, and an inner layer of expedition-weight, double-velour Polartec fleece that wicks away moisture. The wrist-high gloves conform to your hand easily without stretching and have textured grips for better handholds.
