Look for waterproof and breathable fabrics: Gore-Tex or similar fabrics will keep you dry while still allowing your skin to breathe and prevent overheating.

Layer up: Wearing multiple layers will help you regulate your body temperature, so you can easily add or remove layers as the weather changes.

Invest in a good rain jacket: A good quality rain jacket is essential to keeping you dry on the hike. Look for a jacket with a hood, pit-zips, and a long tail to protect your back and legs. Also include a good pair of rain pants for staying as dry as possible. 

Don't forget your feet: Make sure to choose waterproof and breathable footwear, such as hiking boots with a waterproof membrane, to keep your feet dry and warm. Make sure to bring an extra pair of socks to change into if you get wet. It can also be nice to place a plastic bag between your sock and the shoe to keep your new socks nice and dry for the rest of the hike.

Pack a rain poncho: A lightweight rain poncho is a great option for unexpected rain, and it's easy to pack in your backpack.

Keep your belongings dry: A must have on a rainy hiking day to Trolltunga is a rain cover for your backpack to keep all your belongings dry. Changing to a pair of dry socks and finding out that everything you packed is wet is not the best feeling in the world.. To be extra secure - pack your belongings in dry bags or plastic bags if you are expecting a lot of rain. 

By following these tips, you'll be able to find the right rain gear to keep you comfortable and dry on your hike to Trolltunga. Remember to always check the weather forecast before heading out and pack accordingly, in case of unexpected rain.
