Maybe it’s the sense of owning the empty sidewalks and trails or the feeling of cool droplets on my face as I bound over puddles, but I always feel fast and free while running in the rain. Some of my favorite runs of all time have taken place in wet conditions, whether it’s splashing down city blocks or trekking through a saturated forest. Of course, the right gear makes the experience that much easier—and better. These picks keep me going no matter what Mother Nature throws my way. Here are six of my favorite pieces of waterproof running gear right now.
