When I first saw this jacket online, it was love at first sight; sleek, minimal, and promising protection against both wind and rain. I ordered the black colour in size small, and it fit perfectly. Not too loose, not too tight, just that ideal everyday fit you can layer over a tee or sweater.

The fabric felt lightweight right out of the box, but it wasn’t flimsy. It had that slightly structured, crisp texture that instantly said, “I can handle a storm.”

Tested on the Road — Literally

I’ve worn this jacket through some serious weather, from light drizzles to full-on monsoon rides. I still remember one particularly stormy day when I had to ride across the city; I expected to arrive soaked. But the jacket held up like a champ.

The rainproof coating genuinely repels water instead of just soaking it up, and the windproof layer keeps those icy gusts out. Even after hours on the bike, I stayed dry and surprisingly comfortable.

What I love most is that it doesn’t trap heat or make you feel suffocated. The material is lightweight and breathable, so you won’t sweat inside it even in high humidity.

Build & Comfort

Three years later, this jacket still looks new. No frayed stitching, no fading, and no peeling from the waterproof layer, honestly, rare. The zipper runs smoothly (thank you, H&M, for that detail!), and the hood fits snugly without looking bulky.

The comfort level is excellent. You can wear it all day and still forget it’s on. It’s perfect for travel, daily commutes, or unpredictable weather. I’ve stuffed it into backpacks multiple times, and it still bounces back without wrinkles or creases.

Is It Worth the Price?

Let’s be honest, it’s not the cheapest jacket out there. H&M’s price tag for this one sits a little above your average raincoat. But here’s the thing: this isn’t your average raincoat.

It’s one of those “buy once, use forever” kind of pieces. After three years, the cost-per-wear easily makes it a worthy investment. And the fact that even my father, who’s a no-nonsense, comfort-first kind of guy, wanted to keep it after borrowing it for a day says a lot.

Pros & What Stands Out

• Truly waterproof and windproof — perfect for rain and cold wind
• Lightweight yet durable — easy to pack and carry
• Breathable — no sticky, humid feeling inside
• Timeless look — the black design goes with everything
• Still in great shape after 3 years

If you’re someone who commutes daily, loves bike rides, or just needs a jacket that can survive a real downpour, the H&M Rainproof Windproof Jacket is a no-brainer. It blends style, comfort, and reliability better than most jackets in its price range.

It’s rare to find something that looks good, feels good, and actually does what it promises. Three years later, it’s still my go-to — and honestly, I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.
