The ideal rain jacket for late August and September
Late August and September are those months when you stand in front of your wardrobe in the morning and don't really know what to wear. The morning can start chilly, the temperature rises again in the afternoon, and a heavy downpour can happen at any time in between.
A thick winter coat is still far too warm, but going out without a coat is not always pleasant either. That's precisely why a lightweight rain jacket is ideal during this period. In our Back to Work collection, you'll find waterproof, windproof, and breathable jackets that protect you from changeable weather without feeling heavy or too warm.
And just as important: these are jackets you'll want to wear all day long. Because, in our opinion, a good rain jacket doesn't have to look like a rain jacket at all.
Which rain jacket should you wear in late August or September?
For the transition from summer to autumn, a light or unlined rain jacket is a great choice. You get protection against rain and wind, but don't yet need the warmth of a true winter coat.
On warmer days, you can easily wear the jacket over a T-shirt or blouse. Does it get a bit chillier in September? Then combine it with a thin sweater or cardigan. This way, you have one jacket that you can use in many ways during the changeable Dutch autumn.

A rain jacket that doesn't look like a rain jacket
That's exactly what we love at Hipinderegen. Not a shapeless jacket that you only take out of the closet when it starts to rain, but a stylish jacket you wear because you like it.
Our rain jackets combine style with functionality. They are waterproof, windproof, and breathable and available in various lengths, models, and colours. This way, you can choose a jacket that suits your style and how you use it.
So you no longer have to choose between a beautiful jacket and a functional rain jacket. You can simply have both.
Waterproof, windproof, and breathable
Especially when you cycle to work, just being waterproof is not enough. You want to stay dry during a downpour, but you also don't want to arrive at the office sweaty.
That's why the breathability of a rain jacket is important. A breathable fabric helps to dissipate heat and perspiration outwards while keeping rain from entering.
Wind protection is also pleasant on chilly mornings. This way, especially during this transitional period, you have a jacket that can handle various weather conditions.
What is a good rain jacket for cycling to work?
Do you cycle to the office every day, or do you first cycle your children to school? In addition to waterproofing and breathability, also pay attention to sufficient freedom of movement.
A two-way zipper, a longer length, side slits, or a special cycling gusset can make cycling a lot more comfortable. With a longer rain jacket, you also protect not only your upper body but also a larger part of your legs.

Why a rain jacket is the perfect transitional jacket
Are you looking for a transitional jacket for late August or September? Then you don't necessarily have to choose a traditional transitional jacket.

This means a nice rain jacket is not only useful when it rains, but actually a jacket you can wear every day. To work, on your bike, while walking, at the schoolyard, or just for a day in the city.
Complete your outfit with a rain accessory, such as a rain hat, waterproof bag, or other practical accessory for on the go.
Frequently asked questions about rain jackets for late August and September
Which jacket do you wear at the end of August?
At the end of August, a light, unlined rain jacket is ideal. It can still be quite warm during the day, while mornings get chillier and the weather becomes more changeable. A waterproof, windproof, and breathable jacket protects you from an unexpected shower without feeling immediately too warm.
Which jacket is suitable for September?
In September, a lightweight rain jacket is an ideal transitional jacket. You can wear it over a T-shirt or blouse on warmer days and combine it with a sweater or cardigan on colder days. This way, you can easily adjust your clothing to the temperature.
Is a rain jacket suitable as a transitional jacket?

Is a long rain jacket practical for cycling?
Yes, provided the model offers sufficient freedom of movement. A long rain jacket keeps a larger part of your clothes and legs dry while cycling. Models with a two-way zipper, side slits, or a special cycling gusset are particularly comfortable for this.
When do you need a lined rain jacket or winter coat?
That, of course, depends on the temperature and how quickly you get cold. At the end of August and beginning of September, a lined jacket is usually not yet necessary. As soon as it gets consistently colder, a lined waterproof jacket becomes more comfortable.
Then check out our waterproof winter jackets for warm jackets that also keep you dry on cold and wet days.
With the right rain jacket, you are ready for precisely that unpredictable period between summer and autumn. Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, but above all a jacket you want to be seen in – even when it's not raining at all.
