GB-JA945 Men's Waterproof Rain Jacket vs Portwest Outcoach Rain Jacket

The Portwest S555 is the better jacket for real wet weather. It carries a certified EN 343 Class 3:3 rating with a 10,000mm waterproof shell and 15,000g/m²/24hr breathability, plus a 600D Oxford face that resists abrasion. The GB-JA945 is a lighter, simpler polyester shell with taped seams and a Velcro storm flap, and its 4.2 rating comes from only 14 reviews, so owner feedback is thin. Buy the Portwest for hiking, commuting or work in sustained rain; buy the GB-JA945 only if you want a basic packable layer for light showers.

  • Choose the GB-JA945 if you want a straightforward lightweight shell for short trips and light rain, and you don't need a certified waterproof rating.
  • Choose the Portwest S555 if you face steady rain, wind or rough use and want a tested waterproof and breathable rating with a tougher outer fabric.

What reviewers say

GB-JA945 Men's Waterproof Rain Jacket

  • 4.2 / 514 ratings

Feedback is limited but mostly positive: buyers rate it 4.2 out of 5 and describe it as a solid waterproof shell that keeps rain out. A few are less satisfied, though they give few specifics.

What people mention
  • WaterproofingPraisedOwners say the taped seams and storm flap keep water out in sustained rain.
  • BreathabilityMixedSome find it fine for walking and commuting but clammy when working hard.
  • FitMixedA few buyers say the cut is less roomy than they expected.
  • HoodPraisedThe adjustable hood with lock-in drawcords is called out as a useful feature.

Portwest Outcoach Rain Jacket

Owner feedback on the Outcoach centers on its value as a working rain shell: it keeps rain out, breathes better than typical coated jackets, and the hood and pockets hold up in daily use. Complaints tend to be about warmth in humid conditions and the weight of the fabric.

What people mention
  • WaterproofingPraisedOwners report staying dry through long spells of rain, helped by sealed seams and water-resistant zippers.
  • BreathabilityPraisedThe mesh lining and Class 3 rating keep it from feeling like a sauna on active days.
  • HoodPraisedThe engineered storm hood stays in place and keeps rain off the face in wind.
  • WeightMixedAt about 1kg it feels substantial; some find it heavy to pack, others see it as durable.

Questions and answers

Which is better for hiking in steady rain?
The Portwest S555. Its 10,000mm waterproof shell, sealed seams and 15,000g/m²/24hr breathability are tested to EN 343 Class 3:3, so it handles sustained rain and sweat better than the unrated GB-JA945.
Which one breathes better?
The Portwest. It publishes a moisture vapour permeability figure of 15,000g/m²/24hr. The GB-JA945 claims breathable wicking fabric but gives no measured number.
Which lasts longer?
The Portwest. Its 600D Oxford polyester outer is built for abrasion resistance, while the GB-JA945 uses a lighter polyester shell that will show wear sooner with heavy use.
Is the Portwest worth stepping up to?
Yes if you wear it often in rain or for work. You get a certified rating, a tougher fabric and four pockets. The GB-JA945 is fine for occasional light showers and packs smaller.
Does either jacket have a packaway hood?
Only the Portwest. Its hood stows away and has a peak and drawstrings. The GB-JA945 has a fixed hood with a drawstring.
Which is better for warm weather?
The GB-JA945 is lighter and less insulated. The Portwest has a mesh and taffeta lining that adds warmth, which suits cold, wet days more than summer.
