About Weather & Protection

It is the category to check before any trip where the forecast is uncertain, which is most of them.

Here you will find rain gear such as compact automatic umbrellas and backpack rain covers, roll-top dry bags for kayaking and hiking and wet-dry bags, waterproof phone pouches and waist cases, sun protection for beach days, bug head nets and cooling towels for the neck, waterproof shoe covers, boot covers and hiking gaiters, winter ice cleats for boots, cold weather accessories like touchscreen gloves, neck warmers and ski balaclavas, ski goggles and winter visibility gear such as signal whistles.

A rain cover, a dry bag and a head net cover summer; ice cleats, gloves and gaiters cover winter. None of these take much room in the pack, and all of them are the item you are glad you brought.
