The Didricksons Olivia jacket

It may not be a household name in this country, but Didriksons reckon they’re the leading name for waterproof clothing in Sweden.

And the Scandinavian brand says it understands that even in the height of summer, a downpour can still catch out walkers.

The company combines Swedish styling with technical functionality.

A spokesperson said: “This season the designs to look out for from Didriksons include the men’s Hjalmar coat and the women’s Olivia jacket.

“Both designs are waterproof with fully taped seams and are breathable and windproof.

“The designs are cut to consider style as well as function and look good and perform just as well, whether worn out in the mountains and hills or strolling around town down the high street.”

The women’s Olivia sells for £160 and the men’s Hjalmar retails at £170. More details on the Didriksons website.
