Yes, April showers bring May flowers. But it also brings some especially soggy and chilly days, too. And if you’re looking to stay dry this spring, I’ve made a list of the best rain gear on the market right now. Think: storm jackets, waterproof windbreakers and more. And while high quality gear often comes with a hefty price tag, these incredible pieces start as low as $14.
So, check out my rain gear of choice below. Cheers to staying dry!
The Best Rain Gear for Spring
- Take Anywhere: I personally own the Huk Women’s Storm Jacket 2.0. And I can guarantee it’s a staple in my car to stay prepared for inclement weather. With 2L, 10k waterproof construction, as well as a 3-piece adjustable hood, it’ll keep you cozy (even if it’s literally raining sideways) — $110
- Warm-Up: Centerline’s Civile Lightweight Jacket is a lightweight, sporty must-have that comes in both men’s and women’s sizes. Wear yours at the starting line of your next race or to warm up between games of pickleball. Either way, it’s a piece of athleticwear that’ll you’ll use for years to come — $70
- Warm Fingers: Yes, most of us own winter running gloves. But for springtime runs, there’s nothing worse than wet, cold fingers. That’s where Crosspoint Gear Sport Gloves come in. Their waterproof design wicks away moisture, protecting your fingers for the entirety of your workout — $54
- Wind- and Weather-Proof: Cotopaxi is famous for its lightweight, weatherproof gear. So it comes as no surprise the men’s and women’s Teca Half-Zip Windbreakers come in handy for all kinds of inclement weather. My husband and I have ~matching~ ones, and it’s safe to say they keep us looking cool but feeling warm as can be during hurricanes, thunderstorms and beyond — $85
- Dry Legs: I’m no stranger to hiking in the rain. And while I don’t mind doing so, there’s truly nothing worse than dealing with soggy pants. For outdoor spring adventures, REI sells these men’s and women’s Trailmade Rain Pants that are functional AF. They zip up at the bottom, too, so you can always opt for ventilation when the skies clear up — $70
- Long Jacket: Keep more of your body dry with a longer rain jacket. The SaphiRose Long Rain Jacket is lightweight, packable and knee-length. It’s perfect for slogging through puddle-ridden city streets — $39
- For Kids: The Hiheart Waterproof Hooded Jacket has one of the highest ratings for kid’s rain jackets across Amazon. It comes in multiple colors and boasts 4.8 stars with a super affordable price tag. Cha-ching! — $32
- Sprinkle Shield: It comes as no surprise Gorilla Grip’s umbrella is considered one of the strongest out there. Made with a tear-resistant canopy, it easily endures even the toughest of conditions — $14
