We all know that this is the rainiest season of the year, but what happens when the first major storm rolls through, and all you have is that umbrella you copped at the drugstore for $3?

While anything with a hood is the de facto move, something with a waterproof outer and sturdy cover for your head should be all you need to keep yourself dry during the next few months. The best part? Whether you're breaking the bank, or working on a budget, there are plenty of quality options for any situation, setting, and income. Ditch the drugstore poncho.
