rain jacket

Wet weather wear

A rain jacket is a lightweight, water-resistant outer garment designed to keep the wearer dry in wet weather.

Unlike heavier raincoats, rain jackets are typically thin enough to fold into a pocket or bag: I always keep a rain jacket in my backpack.

Most have hoods and are made from synthetic materials that repel water while allowing some breathability.
