Travel gear to weather any storm
Rain coat, boots and umbrella can help you brave the rain in style
Shake your booties Compact and easy to pack, Loeffler Randall’s lace-up rain bootie has a slight wedge heel and a sleek semi-gloss finish, making it significantly dressier than traditional Wellington boots. The rubber outer is waterproof, while a jersey cotton lining keeps toes warm. $165 (U.S.); loefflerrandall.com
Not your average rain coat Made in Vancouver, the Arc’teryx Veilance Field Jacket SV is a cut above the average rain coat. The multilayer Gore-Tex construction makes it weatherproof, while touches like a micro-suede-lined collar and stowable hood mean you can go from downpour to dinner in style. $995; veilance.arcteryx.com
An unflappable umbrella With its unflappable aerodynamic weather canopy and sturdy frame, the Blunt LITE umbrella battles heavy-duty storms and unexpected wind gusts with ease. Strap on the wrist handle and you, and your umbrella, won’t get blown away. $65 (U.S.); bluntusa.com
