Jacket for the end of summer: so you protect yourself from cold, wind and rain

After this summer’s temperatures, let’s face it, a little coolness is not only tolerable, but desirable. However, too much air can become annoying, especially in the evening, not only for those who may still be on vacation. On the boat, in the harbor, but also in the city, it’s time to pull a garment out of the closet to protect us from the wind, early cold and thunderstorms. The fall season is usually the wettest and often the coldest, with significant temperature changes. You need to be prepared with the right garments to cope with these months, and perhaps take the opportunity to finally change your oilskin or choose a modern model suitable even once you get off the boat. We have selected four jackets for you.
