rainsuit
Storm-ready clothing set
A rainsuit is a waterproof outfit, typically a jacket and pants worn together, designed to keep the wearer dry in wet weather.
Rainsuits are standard gear for motorcyclists, cyclists, and outdoor workers who need full-body protection from rain: I keep a rainsuit in my panniers in case of storms.
