Which rain jackets do women choose most often this autumn? For this top 5, I haven't just picked five favorites. I have looked at sales in our own webshop since August and added up all the colors of the same model.
That results in a nice mix: from an extra-long cycling rain jacket to a technically strong rain jacket and a soft softshell for everyday wear. Handy if you are still undecided, because a bestseller is only interesting if you also understand why so many women choose it.
The top 5 at a glance
- Montreal: extra long and very practical on the bike
- Danerainlover: flexible, feminine and a nice allrounder
- Dogwalker: technically strong for heavy and prolonged rain
- Paris: new, long and extra freedom of movement thanks to the side zippers
- Danejane: soft softshell for cool, changeable days
1. Happy Rainy Days Montreal – the absolute number one
The Montreal is by far at the top. That doesn't really surprise me. It is extra long, looks like a beautiful feminine jacket and has a cleverly integrated cycling gusset. This gives you extra space while cycling, while your legs stay much better protected in the rain.
The jacket is unlined, fully waterproof and breathable. This makes it easy to wear in spring and autumn and, with a warm layer underneath, also when it gets a bit colder.
Right for you if: you cycle a lot, like wearing a really long jacket or simply want to keep your trouser legs as dry as possible.

2. Danefæ Danerainlover – soft, feminine and easy
The Danerainlover has been one of the jackets customers keep coming back to for years. The stretch fabric feels remarkably soft, the belt defines the waist and, thanks to the double zipper, you also have plenty of room to move on the bike.
With a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, fully taped seams and a nice hood, this is a top jacket for typical Dutch weather. Not stiff or plastic-like, but rather a jacket you would also put on when it is still dry.
Right for you if: you are looking for one feminine rain jacket for walking, cycling, work and the city.

3. Danefæ Dogwalker – for those who really go out in the rain
Need to let the dog out, go cycling every day or not let yourself be kept inside by a bad forecast? Then the Dogwalker is the one. This is the technically strongest jacket in this top 5, with a waterproof rating and breathability of 15,000.
The length provides a lot of protection and the model still looks feminine. This is not the jacket for just a little shower on the go, but rather for women who also go outside in prolonged or heavy rain.
Right for you if: waterproofness and protection are important to you and you also want a stylish jacket that looks beautiful when taken off.

4. Happy Rainy Days Paris – new and already a favorite
The Paris is new to the collection and has already secured a place in this top 5. What makes this long rain jacket particularly special are the zippers in both side seams. With the zippers closed, it looks like a beautiful feminine long jacket; open them, and you get extra freedom of movement around your legs.
With a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, a breathability of 10,000 and fully taped seams, the Paris is made for real rainy weather. The two-way zipper and side zippers also make it very comfortable for cycling and walking.
Right for you if: you are looking for a long stylish rain jacket that you wear every day, but want extra freedom of movement on the bike or while walking.

5. Danefæ Danejane – the comfortable softshell
The Danejane feels very different from the other four. The soft fleece on the inside provides a little warmth and the stretch fabric moves comfortably with you. It is one of those jackets you keep taking out of the closet in spring, on cool summer evenings and during autumn days.
The fabric has a waterproof rating of 8,000 mm, but the seams are not taped. For a shower or changeable day it is very nice; for prolonged heavy rain I would choose one of the fully taped models above.
Right for you if: you are mainly looking for a flexible, soft jacket for everyday use and occasional rain.
Which of these five suits you best?
Still undecided? Then especially look at the moment when you will wear the jacket the most:
- A lot on the bike and maximum length: Montreal
- A feminine all-round rain jacket: Danerainlover
- Often and for a long time outside in heavy rain: Dogwalker
- Long, stylish and extra freedom of movement: Paris
- Soft and comfortable in changeable weather: Danejane
And of course, fit remains personal. Can't decide? Feel free to send me a message with your height, use and what you like to wear. I am happy to help you think it through.
