What is Peachy Deegan wearing to Repel the Rain? Take a look at her outfit! We Love Helly Hansen and ShedRain!

We reprint two of our favorites for some Repel the Rain ideas-hope you are staying dry!

Yesterday in See Manhattan on Your Feet, we kicked off our coverage of Helly Hansen:

We cannot think of a better companion to the fabulous Trail Moc than the equally smashing Barrier Stretch 3LXP Jacket! It truly does breaks the boundary between hard shell and soft shell with top-shelf three-layer Helly Tech XP construction. It is both functional and stylish and light as a feather, especially considering how packed with performance it is. Though the days may be hot now and jackets are far from your mind, you never know when we might get a wet spell. Also, if you are by the sea this summer this makes an outstanding windbreaker. Finally, if you are a no-jackets-in-my-summer person, we must say that fall will be here before you know it and now is the time to get your style in line!

We love the added benefit of extended stretch in a new high-gauge knit fabric. It features water-resistant zips, hand pockets, full-storm hood and a hidden bottom hem cord adjustment, and it is absolutely what you need for your Sporty Peachy fall style! It comes in black, red and white but Peachy will be sporting it in red to match the speedy Trail Mocs. For cold, windy and wet challenges, Helly Tech®XP is engineered to fit demanding use. It offers 15,000 mm waterproofness and 15,000 g breathability, so though you may wish rain to go away and come back another day, you can still go out in precipitation with a performance jacket of this caliber that will keep you dry. We love love love it!

Once upon a time, Peachy Deegan was a girl that worked in finance in downtown Manhattan, which is quite windy, especially in the torrential downpours we experienced. More than once, Peachy was airborne, doing an imitation of Mary Poppins, definitely not on purpose. If we're going to be airborne, it should be on a plane to Florida or Europe, not halfway in the air... Since then, Peachy Deegan has discovered the wonderful world of ShedRain, and their intelligent engineering.

We love the Windjammer Model! We are big believers in brands that are unique to their industry. Although many fashion brands make umbrellas, we have found they are not as smartly made. We have no patience for products that lack design thought. The handle on this Windjammer has a up button, and the button is not in a spot that you would accidentally push when holding it, unlike traditional umbrellas. The grip is strong and sturdy, and this is a great looking umbrella as well. Even if you didn't go to Yale, you can still appreciate the sharp look of navy and white together.

Most of all, we love the wind vents. No more Peachy Poppins! The wind escapes and you wont be flying all around with your umbrella. The Windjammer is flexible in the rain and will not leave you struggling, when it's not the only thing in your hand, as is inevitable these days. Whom You Know highly recommends the Windjammer by ShedRain, and we are pleased to kick off our coverage of this illustrious American brand at Whom You Know. We are SO glad it finally rained so we could try it out.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
