Don’t let a little rain ruin your adventure! With the right gear, you can embrace the elements and enjoy your walk, no matter the weather.

Here’s our essential kit list for a rainy-day hike:

  1. Waterproof Jacket

  2. Walking Boots
    Good footwear is key to a safe and enjoyable walk in the rain. Look for walking boots lined with a waterproof membrane to keep your feet dry and comfy on soggy trails.
