Abstract: In one embodiment the raingear is housed in a pocket located on the top of the backpack so as to allow the wearer to reach over his shoulders to grab hold of a portion of the raingear and lift it out of the pocket and allow it to drape over the entire body of the wearer and backpack. The raingear includes an attachment to the backpack so that it stays attached to the backpack to assure that the raingear will be returned to the pocket. The other embodiment houses the raingear in its own self-contained package that is attachable to the backpack or jacket of a fishing or hunting jacket and the like. The donning and the attachment of the raingear is substantially identical to the first embodiment.
