Kids rain gear

The best kids rain gear for family camping will keep your little ones dry from head to toe.

Family camping in the rain can really put a damper on things so you need to have a "rainy day" plan.

Reading and making crafts in your family tent is a great idea but it's easy to get cabin fever.

Packing the right kids outerwear should include kids rain boots or waterproof kids hiking boots and waterproof clothing to cover them from head to toe.

Having some of your kids outdoor toys that can be played with in the rain is a good idea too. Frisbees, rubber balls even bike riding on the trails can be done in the rain. Float some toys or sticks in the lake or stream and when the sun does come back out get ready to stash your kids rain gear and pull out a homemade solar oven for kids for some great fun after a rainy day

Kids rain gear

Choosing a water proof jacket that is breathable keeps a child dry and prevents condensation build up on the inside of the jacket from body heat on warmer days unlike polyurethane jackets or ponchos. Although not the cheapest alternative, companies such as Marmot, Patagonia, The North Face and Sierra Designs are using an lining that works similar to Gore, but with out the Gore price. The difference in these liners is compared to Gore Tex is breathability about 20% less but are just as durable
