Don’t let Mother Nature stand in the way of your workouts with this rain-resistant gear.

Just because summer is here doesn’t mean that the rainy days aren’t. Sure it’s warm out, but in many parts of the country, the chance of rain still lingers, ready to turn that sunny day into a wet and sticky one with barely any warning. When you're out riding on the trail, nothing can make you yearn for a cold shower more than getting caught in humid rainfall.

Luckily, rain protection for cyclists does exist—and it isn’t all made for the colder seasons. Protecting yourself from the rain doesn't have to mean sacrificing your airiness and layering up. Hardy technical fabrics can help quickly wick away that moisture, while breathable waterproof synthetics will ensure you stay dry and comfortable, whether you're on or off your bike.

So, if you’re in need of some new wearables that can help combat the heat while riding in the rain, check out one of these smart, technical pieces—all of which happen to be on sale at Amazon right now. From jackets and backpacks to shorts and jerseys, these products will help keep you cool and wick away the rain while doing it.

A jacket usually isn’t the first thing you reach for when it’s wet and steamy out, but this piece from Columbia helps solve that trapped-in-a-sauna feeling of wearing one on a warm day.

First, it’s equipped with Columbia’s proprietary Omni-Tech, which waterproofs while still allowing air to escape its shell. It also has Omni-Wick technology, which evenly distributes moisture throughout the jacket so it can wick it away faster.

Lastly, two zippered underarm vents allow for more airflow and a chance for retained heat to escape. With a jacket this breezy, it’s an easy choice for summer rides. Grab it in men's sizes S-2XL.

Need a backpack that’ll hold your things and keep them dry? Stay hydrated and carry it all with this popular bag from CANWAY.

Its spleen can carry up to 2 liters of water, while the sack’s compartments provide plenty of room for your phone, snacks, and keys, with 15 liters of space.

It’s never a bad idea to carry a poncho on your rides, especially in the event of a downpour. Here’s a waterproof one that’s breathable, wind-resistant, and lightweight. It packs down into a small carrying case that you can easily stuff into your backpack, plus it comes in green, navy, khaki, and black to match your aesthetic.

Reviewers say they’ve worn this while biking on their commute and had no issue with the poncho catching in their chain or getting caught on pedals. Throw on this one-size poncho and cinch it shut at the hood to stay dry on your ride, and simply pack it up when the sky clears.
