Ah, the rainy season. While some loathe it, I celebrate it. And with proper outerwear, you should too! No one likes soggy clothes, which is why I’ve rounded up seven of the best spring outerwear deals available during the Amazon Big Spring Sale to keep you dry until the summer hits.

As a resident of Seattle, Washington, where it rains 340 days a year on average — okay, it’s actually closer to 152 days — I know a thing or two about wet weather protection. I also frequently wear rain jackets in my shower, but that’s another story.

Columbia rain jackets start at just $35 for women and $37 for men. (It's part of a larger Columbia apparel sale at Amazon). Meanwhile, my favorite Carhartt Rain Defender jacket is 35% off or just $64. Find details on these Amazon jacket deals and more below.
