This lightly insulated raincoat features the brand’s HyVent® performance fabric to keep you warm without overheating. The silhouette is so flattering, thanks to its snap-closure collar and waist-defining buckled side tabs. This jacket is a fashionable and easy-to-wear protective layer for chilly days. Buy it here!
Cole Haan Signature Back Bow Packable Hooded Raincoat (Regular & Petite)
Cole Haan
We can always count on Cole Haan for sleek, sophisticated and style-forward jackets. With a gorgeous appearance that’s also equipped with features ideal for colder climates, their back bow waterproof coat gives you the best of both worlds.
This Cole Haan Signature Back Bow Packable Hooded Raincoat features an adjustable tie that cinches the back for a silhouette flattering look, while the detachable drawcord hood and snapdown storm flap keep you warm when it gets cold and windy. The lightweight style packs away into an included pouch for easy travel! Buy it here!
Columbia Pardon My Trench Rain Jacket Outerwear
Columbia
We are huge fans of this trench, and it’s on several of our favorite jacket lists! This rain coat combines the functionality of a sturdy jacket with fashionable details and a clever name.
Waterproof and lightweight, you can easily travel with this anywhere. The adjustable tie waist offers a customizable and flattering fit. The back venting system provides breathability while the detachable hood lets you wear this in multiple weather types. Buy it here!
Girl On The Go Insulated Trench Coat
Eddie Bauer
Sleek, simple and streamlined. The Girl On The Go trench from Eddie Bauer is a modern and minimalistic piece with a perfectly self-explanatory name. It comes equipped with its own unique WEATHEREDGE technology that ensures top-notch waterproof and breathable protection.
It keeps you warm with its ThermaFill insulation while its ripstop polyester shell comes complete with a StormRepel DWR finish. Zip pockets ensure safe storage while a slim silhouette creates a flattering fit. Buy it here!
Columbia
We are huge fans of this brand, and we’ve even written an entire review of the Columbia Carson Pass II. Waterproof and breathable at the same time, this jacket doesn’t feel too heavy when wearing.
Not only is it 100% waterproof but the insulating Omni-Heat material keeps you warm. The faux fur lining of the hood is removable while the inside of the hood is a soft, fleece material. This Columbia Carson Pass II is very durable and water-resistant, making it perfect for adventurous trips and cold, wet weather. This jacket won’t drag you down in the snow or rain. Buy it here!
The North Face
Looking for something with a little more coverage than the Mauna Kea parka? Opt for The North Face’s insulated Arctic Down parka. With a waterproof and resilient exterior, the elements don’t stand a chance with this stylish pick.
HyVent nylon fabric and Thermal 550 down insulation ensure that the cold is effectively kept out, while a total of five pockets offer plenty of storage. Buy it here!
Legendary Whitetails Ladies Anchorage Parka
Legendary Whitetails
Talk about toasty! If you’re really looking to bundle up this season, the Anchorage Parka from Legendary Whitetails is the pick for you. This piece is made out of a unique stretch woven polyester that’s also topped off with a durable waterproof coating.
A plush quilted lining provides comfort and style while double entry pockets provide spacious storage. The faux fur lining offers additional insulation and style but can be removed when temperatures rise. Pair this waterproof jacket with skinny jeans and black lace-up boots for an ultra stylish fall getup. Buy it here!
The North Face
Another fantastic pick from The North Face, you can be certain that you’ll stay warm and dry with the Tomales Bay jacket. The waterproof technology equipped in this piece is seriously impressive.
Its polyurethane coating has a tri-component, multi-layer formula that effectively keeps out water and moisture. It’s also windproof, breathable, and equipped with pockets designed to make commuting easier (such as storage specifically shaped and sized for metro passes).
Adjustable side tabs help keep the coat fitted to your unique shape and, as the sage grey on top, it’s available in a total of six stylish shades. Buy it here!
Helly Hansen Long Belfast Winter Jacket
Helly Hansen
We love this Helly Hansen insulated winter coat, as the design gives you a long raincoat that’s warm and with sporty detailing. Helly Tech Protection offers waterproof, breathable and windproof protection to keep you dry and enjoying your adventures longer.
This jacket also features a fixed hood with cinch adjustment, adjustable cuffs, and excellent insulation, so you can wear this for all activities in wet, cold and windy weather. Buy it here!
Marmot
Similar to The North Face, Marmot is another highly respected outdoor brand that’s a favorite here at Travel Fashion Girl. Their products are high-quality and functional with a style-forward appearance. We love their Montreal coat for a number of reasons.
Durable water-repellant technology effectively sheds water while its 700-fill goose down is both sturdy and insulating. A chic quilted exterior and faux fur trim hood keeps the coat stylish and two zip front pockets keeps hands warm and toasty. Buy it here!

I also have and LOVE the EB Girl on the Go. LOST my outer shell this weekend. Does anyone know if I order the trench only if the removable insulation will fit inside of it?
Hi Deborah, I am sorry to hear that you lost the outer shell 🙁
I’m an owner of the Eddie Bauer “Girl on the Go” jacket featured here. It’s making a 4th late summer/early fall trip to the UK this year and I highly recommend it. I’ve been caught in some real drenchers and stayed dry. The version that I have has a hood that detaches, and a button in/out quilted liner that is great to have when it turns chilly (otherwise it’s in a compression bag in my computer sleeve!). I’d also recommend taking a light weight fleece vest for a little added body warmth when adding the whole liner is a bit too much. We’re “carry-on” only travelers, and taking both doesn’t add any weight or bulk to our packs!
Hi Brenda, thank you so much for your feedback! 🙂
Amazing collection! I have The North Face jacket and I love to wear it while traveling. It keep me warm and give a stylish look. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks Amanda!
Gotta love The North Face. They might be pricey but definitely worth the investment.
Would help if you would put the name of the garment with the photo…
thanks for your feedback!
