Mackage Packables Portable Raingear

Condoms in the nightstand drawer. Beano before a Mexi meal. A bikini wax before the beach. Like a good scout, you’re always prepared.

So you’ll want to snag one of Mackage’s new Packables — portable raingear that doesn’t skimp on style.

Made of 100 percent nylon, the jackets come in two designs. Doddy is a cropped, fitted motorcycle cut with an asymmetrical zipper and pouffy shoulders; Shiloh is an above-the-knee, form-fitting anorak. Both are black, have detatchable hoods, and fold into a sleek little pouch that you can throw into your purse.

They’re so cute, you may find yourself praying (maybe even dancing) for rain.

Or at least having a little more prep in your step.
