Best Rain Gear for Women

Rain Boots

Fashion Favorite

The Jeffrey Campbell Cowboy Boots ($59.95; www.dianeslittlelambs.com) won raves for their funky patterns and colors, and their stylish 1 1/2-inch heels.

Quality Queen

The L.L. Bean Wellies ($49; 800-809-7057; www.llbean.com) are made of a sturdy yet flexible rubber — so they’re snug around your legs but roomy enough to let you tuck in a pair of thick jeans.

Made for Walkin’

On the run all day? Check out the Western Chief Cowgirl Boots ($39.95; 800-925-7463; www.westernchief.com). Unlike most footgear made for rainy weather, this pair has extra padding to cushion your soles.

Must-Have Umbrellas

Compact umbrellas are convenient, but they rarely make it through a windy day. To find ones that stand the best chance in a gust, the Good Housekeeping Institute put 18 fold-ups through rigorous tests.

The winner: the Totes Super Dome ($25; 800-962-5600; www.totes.com). Small enough to fit in a medium-size bag, it opens large enough to cover two people.

Close runners-up: the Liberty WeightLess #9730 and #9732 ($35 each; sold at specialty stores nationwide). These also did a great job of withstanding strong winds, and the Good Housekeeping Institute’s testers raved about how light and compact they were.

Other Great Choices

* The ultra-lightweight Liberty WeightLess #9758 ($28; sold at specialty stores nationwide) will hold up in a rainstorm – and won’t weigh down your handbag. It’s available in cool shades like lime, fuschia and silver.

* At $38, the ShedRain Windpro #1770 (800-722-7246; www.shedrain.com) is the most expensive of the umbrellas we tested. But testers loved how quickly and easily it opened.

* Not only is the Totes ‘brella #8318 ($25; 800-962-5600; www.totes.com) small and lightweight, it aced the Good Housekeeping Institute’s water-resistance tests, so you’ll stay dryer longer.
