Softshell vs. Rubberised vs. Denim Raincoats — Which is Right for You?

Why Your Raincoat’s Material Matters

When it comes to staying dry and looking sharp, the fabric of your raincoat makes all the difference. At Ember & Earth, we craft three distinctive styles — Softshell, Rubberised, and Denim — each with its own personality and performance level.

Whether you’re braving a storm, navigating city streets, or looking for a jacket that works year-round, here’s how to choose your perfect match.

  • Lightweight & Flexible — Softshell raincoats are perfect if you’re on the move.

  • Breathable Comfort — Keeps you dry without overheating, ideal for mild to moderate rain.

  • Minimalist Style — Clean, modern lines work with everything from jeans to office wear.
