rain gear

Wet weather attire

Rain gear is clothing and accessories designed to keep the wearer dry in wet weather—raincoats, ponchos, waterproof jackets, rain boots, umbrellas.

The term treats these items as a category: Don't forget your rain gear.

Unlike formal outerwear, rain gear prioritizes function over style.
