SGS lab verified

Rated for downpours. Built to breathe.

A 3-layer membrane blocks rain and wind from the outside while letting body heat and sweat escape from the inside. Not our claim. SGS, the world's leading testing lab, verified it.

Waterproofness (hydrostatic head)>20,000 mm

10,000 mm is already considered fully rainproof. The VEAR shell tested at over double that.

Breathability (vapor transmission)20,881 g/m²/24h

10,000 g/m² is the benchmark for high-output activity. VEAR tested at 2x that.

Diagram of the VEAR 3-layer membrane: rain, snow and wind blocked outside, perspiration and body heat escaping from inside

The 3-layer membrane: rain, snow and wind stay out, body heat and sweat get out.

The actual SGS test reports

SGS water resistance test report: hydrostatic head exceeds 20,000mm on all five samples SGS breathability test report: water vapour transmission 20,881 g per square meter per 24 hours SGS non-toxic test report: all tested substances pass EN71-3 limits

Fantastic travel jacket

"I recently wore it for a few weeks traveling in Europe, during which time it was rainy and cold. It was just wonderful, so convenient with all the pockets, I didn't even bother with a bag most days and I could keep my winter gloves and my pocket guidebook."

Tawn
★★★★★

Great Jacket, Love It

"I wore it every day for 3 weeks while travelling in Europe mid October. I remained dry even after a 4 hour walk in the rain. All the pockets were great too, for shorter hikes I didn't even need to carry a backpack."

Cindy
★★★★★

Holds its promises

"One of the best ones I have purchased. It is breathable, waterproof, windproof, has so many pockets, and the cloth attached in the pocket is a nice touch to clean my glasses after biking under the rain. The headlamp and the backlight also make me feel safe when riding at night."

Stephane Bonenfant
★★★★★

Great support

"I had a sleeve where the inside stitching had come apart, so I complained. The staff were great and I received a new one. I like the jacket, it does its job."

Andy Little✓ Verified buyer

It's Amazing!

"Jacket arrived today. OMG, it's amazing. I followed the sizing guidelines and it fits perfect. Loose enough to wear a sweater under it. Couldn't ask for anything more. Awesome product."

ZB Shepherd

Product received

"This has actually exceeded my expectations. The lining fabric is perfect and the easy off trousers are just amazing. I am an avid traveler and always looking for easy things to pack to keep my luggage light and this meets those needs. Well done Vear team!"

Drew Ross

Perfect fit

"Mine arrived yesterday and I'm really happy on first impressions. The fit is perfect! You guys did a really amazing job with the instructions for selecting the correct sizes. The feel is nice and I like the accessibility of the sneaky tablet pocket in the back..."

John Osborn

"Just received my jacket in Japan. First impressions: Amazing. Great fit, beautiful feel and all the details are very well designed and produced. Definitely worth the wait, so a big thank you to all those involved. Well done!"

Great quality and design

"I have received my jacket and pants here in SG. First impression on quality and design specs is good. The only small issue I had was the pants were a bit too loose at the waist..."

"I finally received my set and... WOW! I love it!! It is exactly what I hoped to receive, even better maybe. Unfortunately, even if I followed your instruction to select the proper size, it's too small for me. I really want to wear it."

Features review

"1. The large pocket is positioned a bit too high, very hard to zip open without taking off the jacket; 2. Why don't we have a bi-directional zipper in the front? 3. There are many pockets, however not easy to stuff items in them as the opening is quite narrow..."

Phillip Kong✓ Verified buyer
★★★★★

Plenty of features and pockets but had issues with sizing

"There are loads of features and pockets! Quality is pretty decent too. But I'm disappointed in the sizing. I'm usually a comfortable XL but I had to send the jacket back for a 2XL, which didn't feel any bigger."

Dave Wilson✓ Verified buyer
★★★★★

Are size XL available any time soon?

"Been trying to keep an eye on the website to see when I would be able to order an extra large, so far no luck"

Hi Harvey! According to Royal Mail your parcel has been delivered and signed for, and there is a picture of your door from the delivery. Nonetheless we are happy to work on a resolution with you via email.

Funny to be asked to review without the product

"Last day of January and still nothing received, even if it's the second delivery. There seems to be a wormhole in Germany where the packages don't progress any more."

Hi Raul, indeed we encountered some issues when we shipped the Kickstarter orders to our backers, a few boxes were lost by UPS and we did not have those available to reship. Now everyone received their items and we hope you love it! 😊

Don't buy this jacket

"I regret backing this on Kickstarter. Nice jacket but terrible quality control. Wore the jacket for a week and a pocket seam came apart. Vear support offered me $20 to have it mended by a local tailor. No thank you."

S.C.
Reply from VEAR

Hi S.! We are sorry for this issue you encountered. Most products are very well made and this is a minor issue we take responsibility for. We will happily replace your jacket if the other solution is not suitable for you. We hope you are otherwise happy with it! 😊

Our story

Born on Kickstarter. Proven in Patagonia.

1,705 backers put $335,011 behind one idea: a jacket that replaces a bag full of gear. We took the finished jacket to Patagonia and let glacier wind, sea spray and sideways rain have their say. It came back dry.

Questions, answered.

Is it really waterproof, or just water-resistant?
Fully waterproof. The shell was tested by SGS, the world's leading testing lab, at a hydrostatic head above 20,000 mm. For context, 10,000 mm already counts as fully rainproof. Zippers are sealed and the membrane is windproof too.
Will I overheat in it?
The 3-layer fabric is built to breathe. SGS measured vapor transmission at 20,881 g/m² per 24 hours, about twice the benchmark for high-output activity. There are also armpit vents for steep climbs and fast walks.
How do I pick my size?
Measure your chest with a tape and pick the size slightly bigger than your measurement. Between sizes? Size up. There are separate men's and women's cuts, and the full size chart with exact garment dimensions is on the product page. If the fit is wrong, we support size exchanges.
What is the jacket made of?
Shell: 100% polyester with a waterproof, breathable 3-layer membrane. Linings: 100% nylon and 100% polyester. The fabric passed SGS non-toxic testing.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship worldwide from our warehouse, and shipping is free. Checkout runs on Shopify with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and all major cards.
