storm gear

Bad weather equipment

Storm gear is clothing and equipment designed to protect against severe weather—rain jackets, waterproof pants, boots, and similar protective items.

The term appears in outdoor recreation, sailing, and emergency preparedness contexts: Make sure you pack your storm gear for the hike.

It may also refer to equipment for weathering metaphorical storms: I've got my emotional storm gear ready for the meeting.
