Nike ACG Morpho Women's Storm-FIT ADV Rain Jacket
The polycarbonate shell sheds puddle splash and wet curb spray, which matters when the wheels are rolling through Seattle sidewalks or a rainy Reykjavik taxi line. The 49L size fits overhead on most US airlines, and I like that the zip-and-compressio...
Away The Bigger Carry-On (Jet Black)

Away The Everywhere Zip Backpack (Navy Blue)
A waterproof, breathable jacket at a far friendlier price than the expedition shells, which is why it earns a spot for rainy city breaks. The YKK AquaGuard zipper and zip pockets keep a passport and phone dry, and the locker loop lets it hang on a ho...
Athleta RainOut Traverse Jacket
Made from recycled ripstop polyester with a TPU coating, this one converts from backpack to duffel and keeps its shape in a shower. The 17-inch laptop compartment and trolley sleeve make it a great personal item for a rainy hop between airports. Carr...

Athleta Rainout Ridge Long Trench
The water-resistant material wipes clean after being set down on a wet train platform or a damp boat dock. The separate shoe compartment is the real rainy-trip feature, because it keeps muddy sneakers or wet boots away from your clean clothes. It als...
Calpak Luka Duffel
A sturdy, good-looking umbrella is the most underrated rain accessory for a destination like Edinburgh or Seattle. Pick one with a real canopy rather than a flimsy pocket-size model if the forecast is windy. It sits easily across the top of a packed ...

The water-repellent nylon and leather trim handle a shower between the train station and your hotel without soaking through. It fits a 16-inch laptop and slips over a suitcase handle with the trolley sleeve. I use a bag like this as the dry personal ...

Away The Medium suitcase (Jet Black)
Barbour is the classic British countryside name, and this mid-height wellington is a more packable choice than a full tall boot. The durable rubber and custom tartan-tread outsole are made for muddy lanes and wet grass. It suits a rainy weekend in th...
Anthropologie Barbour Banbury Mid Wellington Rain Boots
Reviews say the recycled-bottle fabric is water-resistant and beads rain, though Béis is clear it is not fully waterproof. At 13.5L expanding to 17L, it is a lightweight day bag for a rainy city walk. Slip a rain shell in the expansion zone and it st...
Béis The Expandable Backpack (Beige)

Calpak Terra 35L Water Resistant Zip Tote Bag

Béis The Weekend Travel Set
For a trip with miles of walking in the rain, the GORE-TEX upper blocks puddles while the wet-traction outsole grips slick stone. The tall foam stack cushions a full day of sightseeing, which is why I like them for cities like Lisbon or London. Nike ...
Nike Motiva GORE-TEX Women's Waterproof Walking Shoes

Away Insider Packing Cubes (Set of 4)
A bold print makes a dark, rainy day a bit more cheerful, and it is easy to spot in a crowded hotel umbrella stand. Check the folded length before you buy so it fits in the side pocket of your backpack. This one suits a rainy-season stay in a tropica...
Anthropologie Quinn Printed Umbrella
The recycled ripstop polyester with a TPU coating handles light rain, and at around six pounds it is much lighter than a hardshell. The soft sides squeeze into overhead bins and the 360-degree spinner wheels roll through wet terminals. Drop a rain co...
