The bright yellow Patagonia Spraymaster Jacket ($249; www.patagonia.com) is stretchy, waterproof, and breathable. It hides Horny Toad's long-sleeve La Paz Tee ($28; www.hornytoad.com) and tops Lucky Brand Relaxed Bootleg Jean ($114; www.luckybrand.com). His boots are the timeless, weather-proofed Blundstone 500 ($140; www.blundstoneusa.com), while the shades are Oakley's wire-frame Crosshairs ($145; www.oakley.com).

Erica (Center)
Her Arc'teryx Covert Cardigan ($150; www.arcteryx.com) is made of Polartec Thermal Pro—it's fleece, but feels like a knit sweater. She's putting on Arc'teryx's Switchback Shirt ($150) to block the waterfall's spray. Etnies Girl Dilly Pants ($52; www.etniesgirl.com) have small pink accents that go nicely with her brown Outdoor Research Boundary bucket hat ($28; www.orgear.com).

James (Right) 
The North Face Blackhawk WindWall Jacket ($179; www.northface.com) is "hardface," water-shedding fleece—he could sit near the fall's spray all day and the Timberland Waffle Crew ($40; www.timberland.com) underneath would stay dry. His Mission Playground Sliver Pants ($74; www.missionplayground.com) are made out of organic cotton twill and have a loose, comfortable fit. The boots are Eastern Mountain Sports Tempo GTX Boots ($120; www.ems.com).

The bags are by Eagle Creek ($60 to $90; www.eaglecreek.com).
