Spring has sprung. It’s time to ditch your winter coat, say goodbye to all those pockets, and get back outside. While the warmer weather is a welcome change of pace, it’s not always sunshine. Spring usually means rain, so it’s important that your EDC gear has some level of water resistance.

In this loadout we’ve curated with help from our friends at Huckberry, you can find some weatherproof gear and hi-vis essentials to cover your bases in style this Spring.

Lastly, a rubber strap keeps it comfortable even when wet.
Magpul DAKA Waterproof Pouch
For a convenient way to carry loose gear while keeping them protected from the elements, reach for a gear pouch.

YKK zippers and reinforced polymer fabric keep water at bay to protect your portable tech like phones and cameras. Carabiner attachment points also make it easier to carry when you have to go hands-free.
