Waterproof Rain Gear For Your Next Camping Trip.


Which set of waterproof rain gear is right for you and your family for your upcoming camping trip?

For most people it is just a matter of grabbing a pair of cheap waterproof rain gear off the shelf,but what if you want to make sure your family stays dry no matter what? Then just any cheap set will not do,especially if you are planning to camp in the Olympic Peninsula where it can rain two or more inches a day in the middle of summer. You want to keep your family dry and happy on your camping trip,this is a case where you definitely need to consider your childrens waterproof rain needs also. Comfort is a big concern,so just any cheap set of waterproof rain apparel will not do because they just are not comfy,in fact they are quite cumbersome.

Although more expensive,a quality set of waterproof rain gear is a must on this occasion,and might just be the best investment in your own happiness that you ever made. Everyone knows that if momma and the kids aint happy...nobody is going to be happy! Ok,all kidding aside,Gore-Tex waterproof rain wear is probably going to be your best choice here. Why? because they are so thin and comfortable. This is some of the highest quality rain gear that allows for maximum flexibility and still sheds water like a newly waxed car,or a windshield with a fresh application of rain-x.

Now you don't have to go overboard on the price here,you don't need the absolute best in waterproof rain protection,but please consider spending more than $5 on your family's ability to stay dry whilst out in the woods. Although inexpensive,a disposable set of nylon rain gear is probably not your best bet,especially when it comes to your childrens waterproof rain needs. The cheaper brands also will not fit your child very well at all,they concentrate more on the "one size fits all" philosophy,and we both know that no two children are shaped the same,not to mention us adults. This is where the more spendy sets will really help your family feel comfortable in their new waterproof rain gear. If you are willing to spend enough money on this aspect of your camping trip,you and your family will feel as if you have gone to a tailor for their waterproofing needs ;-)

Having a set of rain wear that fits will make it that much easier to get the kids to put it on,and ease your concerns of them catching a cold from getting wet. It will also ensure that you do not have to cut your camping time short because everyone is cold,wet,and miserable. Chidrens waterproof rain gear will unfortunately only come in a few colors,but it would be a good idea to pick the brightest of colors for them...this way you can see them better as they run off playing in the ferns. Only put your children in green if you absolutely have to. The adults have a little bit more flexibility here and can wear green if they wish,especially if they have fun sneaking up on the children and scaring the wits out of them ;-)

I hope you have found these waterproof rain gear tips helpful when it comes time for outfitting your family for your next camp out. Please be safe and have a great camping experience.
