Since its inception, L.L.Bean has created apparel designed to stand up to the elements — especially wind and water. A favorite of fisherman, hikers, campers and outdoorspeople, Bean’s Trail Model Series continuously redefines “waterproof.” The Trail Model Rain Jacket, available for men, women and even the family dog, includes TEK waterproof technology and has been redesigned to include a laminate construction, making it more durable and breathable for all-day comfort. Top off this perennial essential with the Trail Model Rain Hat for extra protection. Another L.L.Bean original — The Men’s and Women’s Maine Hunting Shoe, 10” — was first introduced by Leon Leonwood Bean in 1912, after he came home from a hunting trip with cold, wet feet. With 110 years of helping others avoid the same fate, this footwear has earned its stellar reputation.

For serious rainy-day adventures, don’t forget to gather the right gear. Start with the Adventure Pro Waterproof Hip Pack, featuring ultra-durable ripstop nylon and welded seams, making it 100% waterproof. For bigger or bulkier items, the Sea to Summit Lightweight Dry Sack provides the protection of a dry bag but is lightweight enough to replace your regular stuff sack. With everything safe and dry, strap on an L.L.Bean Trailblazer Sportsman 420 Headlamp to see through drizzly conditions with clarity.

Embrace the rain during an afternoon walk or playtime with the kids by outfitting the family with versatile apparel that works with the weather. Start with flexible protection like the Adults’ Sea to Summit Nylon Tarp Poncho, which includes side snaps for breathability and even works as a temporary shelter! For little explorers, equip them with the best, like the Infants’ and Toddlers’ Discovery Rain Jacket or the Kids’ Wind and Rain Jacket. These water-resistant outerwear choices come in bright, spring colors for low-light visibility and include zip openings for easily taking on and off. Complete the outfit with the MVP of every rain-soaked memory, a pair of Kids’ Puddle Stompers Rain Boots for maximum fun.

If you plan to head out while there’s rain in the forecast, bring along a Waterproof Outdoor Blanket in plaid. Spread out a picnic on its Super-soft polyester-fleece surface, while the polyurethane-coated nylon backing will keep moisture from seeping through. And make sure to pack an L.L.Bean Windpro Vented Auto Open/Close Umbrella for those breakthrough showers. The wind-resistant umbrella folds up small enough to fit in cars, entryways and bags. Lastly, throw the Adults’ L.L.Bean Graphic Bandana around your neck for warmth, and to wipe off droplets or dew that land on screens or glasses.

There’s no right way to spend a rainy day, and if you prefer to rest up for sunnier adventures, start with the right lounging outfit. The Men’s Wicked Soft Knit Pajama Set, Short Sleeve are described as “the softest PJs imaginable” and are made with built-in stretch for walking to get the mail or to grab a cup of joe. The Women’s Springtime Sleep PJ Short Set, available in several colors and adorable patterns (including s’mores), and the Women’s Rugged Wellie Chelsea Boot, can be worn around the house and taken for a walk when you need to stretch your legs after a rainy day movie marathon.

If you’re looking for an activity to keep you company, opt for the National Parks Puzzle — the perfect match during National Park Week in April, especially — or L.L.Bean Deluxe Scrabble/Monopoly. The Custom L.L.Bean Monopoly set offers a tote, dog, boot, canoe, lantern and moose game pieces. If you make a quick jaunt outside to grab some fresh air (or if a game of Monopoly gets too heated), your Everyspace Recycled Waterhog Doormat will welcome you and your wet boots back, soaking up the water to ensure your house remains a dry port in the storm.
