1. Waterproof Bag

When travelling during the rains, do not carry traditional suitcases or soft bags. Instead, use a waterproof bag. This will keep your clothes, gadgets, and documents dry throughout the journey.

Umbrellas are not very effective during strong winds and heavy rainfall. Raincoats or ponchos are a better choice for staying dry. They also take up less space in your bag.
