waterproof gear
Moisture-resistant outdoor clothing
Waterproof gear is clothing or equipment designed to keep water out—rain jackets, boots, dry bags, wetsuits.
The term appears most often in outdoor recreation and military contexts: Make sure you pack waterproof gear for the hike.
Gear that's merely water-resistant offers less protection than truly waterproof items.
