Glamping Near the Water?

Pack a Stylish Raincoat for Paddleboarding or Kayaking

When you're out on the water, away from your glamping spot, you want to be prepared for anything. That's why, when paddleboarding or kayaking, it's always a good idea to pack a raincoat. A raincoat will protect you from the sun and water while keeping you comfortable, even if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Plus, if you paddle in an area with a lot of bugs, a raincoat can also protect your skin from critters. So, next time you hit the water, be sure to bring a cute raincoat and enjoy your time out on the paddle board or kayak.

  • Season and Local Weather

If you were camping in a cold climate, you would need an insulated raincoat to keep you warm as well as dry. However, since the Southern US is typically warm, so most people prefer raincoats that are lightweight and breathable.

  • The Fabric or Material

You'll want a raincoat that is made from a waterproof material like Gore-tex or PVC. While PVC offers good water protection, it's less breathable than Gore-tex.

  • Jacket Fit and Style

Make sure the raincoat is a comfortable fit - you don't want it to be too tight or too loose. Rain jackets with a longer, slim shape tend to look more flattering but shorter, boxy cuts are trending with high-waisted hiking leggings.

  • Essential Features

Do you need a raincoat with a hood? Zip pockets? Armpit vents? Taped seams? Choose the features that are most important to you first and then go for style and fit second.
