Don’t Let the Rain Stop You: Gear Up with the Right Outdoor Rainwear

When you love the outdoors, a little rain shouldn’t slow you down. Whether you’re hiking, camping, fishing, or just running errands around town, staying dry and comfortable makes all the difference. That’s where proper rain gear comes in—and Joe’s Sporting Goods has everything you need to face wet weather head-on.

Why Rain Gear Matters

Rain doesn’t just make you wet—it can sap your body heat, affect your performance, and turn a great adventure into a miserable one. Investing in high-quality rain gear means:

  • Staying Dry: Preventing water from soaking your clothing or base layers

  • Maintaining Body Temperature: Helping you stay warm even in cooler, wet conditions

  • Improved Mobility: Wearing lightweight, breathable gear that won’t weigh you down

  • Extended Adventures: Rain-ready gear helps you enjoy more days outdoors, regardless of the forecast

2. Rain Pants

Keep your lower half dry with rain pants that easily pull over your hiking or fishing gear. Choose styles with side zippers for quick on/off access and room for layering underneath.

3. Waterproof Footwear

Wet feet are a recipe for blisters and discomfort. Waterproof hiking boots or rubber fishing boots will help keep your feet dry and warm no matter the terrain.

Joe’s Tip: Check out Merrell, Danner, and Bogs—all available at Joe’s—for trusted waterproof footwear options.

4. Dry Bags & Packs

Keep your electronics, snacks, and extra clothes safe from the rain with dry bags and waterproof backpacks. These are essential for paddlers, anglers, and hikers alike.

5. Hats & Accessories

Don’t forget waterproof hats or wide-brimmed styles to keep rain off your face. Waterproof gloves are also great for cooler, rainy conditions.
