It's raining. That used to mean inside.

Puddles, mud, and a steady drizzle make some of the best days. The Rain-Bow is built for them, with ripstop nylon, heat-taped seams, and a waterproof zipper that block everything, on a muddy trail or in the drizzle that starts at 9am and runs till 3. This is a rain suit, not a snowsuit, the one for wet spring mornings, muddy fall afternoons, and puddle-jumping in between, worn over whatever they're already wearing. For deep-winter cold and snow, that's where the insulated mittens and snow gear come in. The oversized hood adds an elastic fit and an extended bill that shields the face without hiding the next puddle. Reinforced knees, elbows, and rear take the beating kids give their gear, and reflective components keep them visible when the sky goes grey.
