Rain gear includes raincoats, rain hats, ponchos, and boots to keep dry in rainy weather. Rain boots are not padded and come in all sizes. Rain ponchos fit many sizes and can be worn over warm jackets. Parkas offer warmth and protection from rain, while windbreakers are thin jackets. Umbrellas are also a type of rain gear.
Rain gear refers to items worn on the body to help keep dry in rainy weather. Raincoats, rain hats, ponchos, and boots are common types of rain gear. Many raincoats include hoods to cover the head, but separate rain hats are also available. A rain poncho is a piece of waterproof material with openings for the head and arms and covers the body. Rain boots help keep your feet dry.
Rain boots are usually made of rubber or synthetic, and unlike snow boots, they are often not padded. They are manufactured in all sizes, from children to adults. Children’s rain boots are available in fun colors and patterns and are a must-have in rainy weather as many children love to play in puddles. Keeping feet dry in wet weather is important, as wet feet can make a person very cold and uncomfortable. Since rain boots are a type of rain gear that are generally not well insulated, thick socks may be needed to keep your feet warm and comfortable.
Rain ponchos are a type of rain gear often worn by people who work outdoors in rainy weather, such as school crossing guards. Some rain ponchos have storage pockets and a hood. Some advantages of wearing a rain poncho are that it fits many sizes and can be worn over warm jackets or layering sweaters. Rain coats are also often unpadded, but tend to be more fitted in style, although some are still designed to be worn over sweaters or jackets.
Parkas, unlike plastic raincoats, are generally padded. Parkas are hooded jackets that offer warmth and protection from the rain. Some parkas have a removable fleece lining, so the jacket can also be worn as a raincoat without padding. A windbreaker is a very thin jacket that may or may not have a hood. Windbreakers are generally worn in hot, rainy or windy weather.
A yellow synthetic Southwestern or “Southwester” style of rain hat is known for its large, flap-like brim that fits over the ears. This type of rain gear is popular with offshore anglers because it protects the head from wind and rain. The snug fit over the ears, as well as the straps under the chin, help keep the rain hat on in stormy weather. Other types of rain hats include bucket hats made of waxed cotton or synthetic materials.
Although not worn on the body, but rather held overhead, umbrellas could also be considered a type of rain gear, as they help wick rain away from the body. The umbrellas feature a metal main pole and handle attached to a system of fabric-covered spokes that open and close by pressing a lever on the main pole. Umbrellas are made for both children and adults in a variety of colors and designs.
