Outdoor workwear sits between disposable rain shells and heavy-duty site coats, and this Site Messner jacket lands firmly in the lightweight, everyday layer camp. It’s part of Site’s trade-focused range, competing with similar ripstop waterproofs from the likes of Scruffs and DeWalt, aimed at keeping you moving on site without feeling bulky. The black and grey finish keeps it low-key, while the ripstop fabric is there to resist the small snags and tears that can ruin lighter jackets quickly.

Who is this jacket for?

Best suited to anyone who needs reliable weather protection for changeable days, especially when you’re in and out of buildings or working up a sweat. The water and windproof build helps cut the chill, and the adjustable hood, cuffs and hem let you seal out draughts or loosen things off for ventilation.

  • Size: Large, 50 inch chest, for a roomier fit over a hoodie or fleece
  • Fabric: Ripstop, chosen for durability without the weight
  • Adjustments: Hood, cuffs and hem to tune the fit in wet and windy conditions
