No one looks cute in a poncho, and no one stays dry in a pashmina. But best friends Rachel Teyssier, 45, and Stacy Struminger, 44, say they've come up with the perfect solution to staying dry and fashionable – RainRaps.

"I wasn't into using an umbrella, and it was too hot and humid to wear a raincoat," says Struminger. "I was sitting in a meeting cold and wet from the rain, and I thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if there was some kind of waterproof pashmina?' "

Now, these two moms, juggling kids and working from a home in Richmond, Va., are marketing RainRaps, lightweight, waterproof rain covers.
