How to go hiking with a backpack if it's raining?

Anyone who loves hiking knows that the weather is not always sunny and dry. Nature can sometimes surprise us with warm summer rain, a strong thunderstorm or even snow. And other times we just know that it will rain during the transition. When we are well prepared for all weather conditions, we can enjoy our favorite experience to the fullest. And isn't this the greatest adventure - to be able to cope with all possible situations?

Hiking under the rain with a raincoat and Mac in a Sac waterproof jacket

 For the best protection on such a rainy or snowy day, we must be prepared with a raincoat and Mac in a Sac waterproof jacket. When we add stable shoes and clothes to change, the day will remain pleasant, dry and successful.

Why should you have a raincoat?

Some of the hiking backpacks have a built-in rain and snow cover. However, in case yours is gone, a raincoat will be your two in one jacket Mac in a Sac. It will cover every inch of you and your backpack.

What is a Mac in a Sac raincoat:

• The Mac in a Sac raincoat is extremely practical. Its loose fit allows you to cover your entire body, plus the backpack. It is waterproof and windproof. At the same time it is made of light and strong material. This makes it extremely comfortable to drive;
• Usually this type of raincoat has a front pocket. You can use it for quick access to the most necessary items during the transition. And when the rain stops and the rainbow shows up, you can put the whole raincoat in that front pocket in seconds. It also could be used as a case. The Mac in a Sac raincoat stored in this way can also be used as a cushion for sitting or sleeping;
• All seams of the Mac in a Sac raincoat are tapped, so you have its 100% protection and it's easy to smile on a beautiful rainy day.

Why do we need a waterproof jacket?

 When the transition is long and the rain does not stop, the waterproof jacket will give us more freedom of movement. In addition to not leaking water and wind, it is padded and has a breathable membrane. It does not allow the body to infuse when sweating.

 When the lower layers of clothing are sufficient, the waterproof jacket does not need to be thick and warm. That would make it harder.

 On warm days, when it still does not stop raining, we use an extremely lightweight waterproof jacket - windbreaker. It is very suitable for sudden rain or when resting in windy places.

 For cold weather we use slightly thicker waterproof jackets, in which the breathable membrane is also important. The lining here is not thick, but aims to keep the body warm.

Mandatory

On the hood of the Mac in a Sac raincoat and the waterproof jacket, we must pay special attention. In addition to being waterproof and breathable, it is nice to be deep and adjustable. In case of strong wind it must be possible to tie.

When the weather is bad, visibility is usually not good either. The reflective elements on our outerwear will ensure us to be noticeable.

As we already know, water resistance reflects the possibility of moisture penetration from the outside to the inside of the body. Breathability is the other way around - from the outside in. They are measured by the height of a water column. For transitions in wet weather, it is best to be over 10,000 mm. Of course, higher rates also mean higher prices.

Still, the best protection against rain and snow remains tracking the weather forecast. Of course, it can always surprise you, and here it would be great to be prepared and protected. Quickly put on a Mac in a Sac raincoat or waterproof jacket and feel free to sing  under the rain. Then the rain will not only not spoil your good mood, but no wonder you dance in the rain.
