My son who is also adverse to rain/warm weather outer clothing has a hip length LL Bean gortex jacket. It was my husbands and my son initially refused it. He ask us to bring it down by parents weekend, which 2 years ago was in September. He has worn it with his backpack underneath when he has gotten caught in downpours. We also bought a rainfly for his backpack after his computer fried from getting wet inside the backpack. The backpack is water resistant and was sprayed. It really does rain hard in T-Town.

So now he always carries the rainfly and will carry the jacket if there is the slightest hint of bad weather. It folds up pretty small. He also purchased a waterproof, protective sleeve for his computer for inside the backpack. Replacing the wet computer was quite an unexpected expense.

The replacement computer is on him the next time:) Footwear - still wearing sneakers. We haven’t advanced on that front yet. But there is talk of him taking back his ‘waterproof hiking boots’. I guess he’s tired of wet feet.
