No matter what time of year you travel — but especially during those more-affordable shoulder seasons — inclement weather can be a downer.
As much as we'd like rain-free skies every time we vacation, it doesn't always work out that way, so it's essential to be prepared. Packing the right gear can be the difference between a ruined getaway and just a rainy day. The right travel gear can help you stay dry, warm and comfortable, no matter what the forecast throws your way.
Whether you're navigating city streets or exploring hiking trails, investing in weatherproof accessories ensures that inclement weather won’t slow you down.
We've rounded up must-pack travel gear for spring travel and beyond. We hope you won't need it, but if the weather takes a turn, you'll be prepared.
When you’re travelling, your suitcase is an extension of you; not only does it protect your clothes and valuables, it’s also a home for the memories you collect at your destination. This limited-edition Monos collection features an aerospace-grade, water-resistant polycarbonate hard shell, so even a deluge won’t threaten your luggage.
Just as effective at keeping you warm as cooling you down, this 100 per cent merino crewe is so light it feels like a second skin. It’s a slim fit, so size up when you’re ordering.
Thanks to a weatherproof membrane, these classic jeans will keep you comfortable no matter where vacay takes you. They’re outfitted with reflective detailing so drivers will see you at night.
We love a sun-soaked getaway as much as the next gal, but with this jacket, featuring thermal-reflective gold lining that retains body heat, a little cold won’t stop us anytime soon.
Stay cool and avoid the sun during outdoor pursuits with this slim jacket. It offers UPF50+ sun protection combined with ice sleeves and a hood for complete coverage.
Slip these cargo pants over your shorts if you spot clouds rolling in and you’ll stay dry. They’re waterproof for light rain, and have concealed side pockets.
