Fall is just around the corner, which means cooling temperatures and the beginning of rainy season for some parts of the country. While rain can certainly present challenges when it comes unexpectedly, you can still enjoy the outdoors in the rain if you have the appropriate gear. Check out SunnySports’ incredible selection of rain gear that offers waterproof protection against any downpour — sudden or otherwise!

1. Rain Jackets

Mountain Hardwear Stretch Ozonic Jacket for Men – $99.95 FREE SHIPPING!

Sure, you can run for cover if the clouds open up above you, but why not be prepared with a rain jacket and enjoy the atmosphere instead? SunnySports has rain jackets that range from lightweight shells to heavy duty hooded coats for boys, girls, men, and women.

 

2. Rain Hats

SealSkinz Waterproof Trail Hat – $42.99 FREE SHIPPING!

A rain hat is the perfect accessory to deflect rain from your head, neck, and shoulders if your jacket doesn’t have a hood. A waterproof beanie is the perfect solution for regions that experience cold rain, and combining it with another rain hat will create an effective buffer against moisture.

 

3. Rain Boots

Bogs Plimsoll Herringbone Mid Boots for Women – $134.95 FREE SHIPPING!

Once you wear a pair of rain boots outside during a downpour, you’ll be very reluctant to wear anything else in the rain again. Wet feet are not only uncomfortable, but can lead to worse ailments if they don’t get properly dried. Whether you choose a waterproof hiking boot or a pair of rubber rain boots, you will be grateful you protected your feet with the appropriate rain gear!

 

4. Weather Resistant Packs, Dry Cases, and Rain Covers

You can opt for a weather resistant backpack, a dry bag or case, or just a rain cover to go over any regular style pack to keep your belongings from getting soaked in a storm. These types of equipment are manufactured in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles to fit the user’s requirements for virtually any activity on land or water.

 

5. Rain Fly or Tarp

Protecting your shelter from being flooded is as simple as using a ground cover and a rain fly or tarp over the top. You can even use one for hammock camping, so no matter what kind of shelter you opt for in the outdoors, you will be shielded from rainfall.
