Re: Country walk in the rain
Would love to join you before too long. I may have bought some plastic macs from Nick via in Ebay in past years. They're still going strong, I am happy to report. I had a wonderful Saturday in rain-sodden Derbyshire, wearing a see-through grey plastic mac. The great joy of this one is that it comes ...

Re: What urges you to buy rainwear?
My love is for ultra-long see-thru plastic macs - floor-length, ideally - and I have steadily built up a collection with permutations in plastic material, colour, attached/detachable hoods, soft plastic buttons/poppers, pocket styles, etc. I enjoy wearing them in public too, when the rainfall is so ...

Re: Rainwear colour
As a lover of see-through plastic macs, all colours appeal, though I am agnostic about silver. The bright blues and bottle greens of the late 70s/early 80s style looked gorgeous, and I will always adore the charcoal grey Pakamac style that I recall from 1960s schooldays. I have a full wardrobe of ...

The past two weeks of heavy sustained rainfall were a real treat, the best being yesterday's long deluge. I wore my see-through white plastic mac to go the shops and then spent a couple of hours along a deserted South Bank, London wearing my Ultra-Pakamac - a floor-length, voluminous semi ...

Re: Hello
I'm based in London NW6 and I would normally complain that it rarely rains heavily for long, but the past week and today have been pure joy for going out in my favourite ground-length semi-transparent plastic macs. However self-conscious I have felt, it's simply too good to pass on the opportunity ...

Re: Rainbonnets and headgear
Several of my favourite plastic macs have detachable hoods and I have enjoyed wearing the gamut of rainhats, rainbonnets and souwesters in various downpours. But I still like having my hood up best of all, mainly because of the feel of the PVC against my face and the loud drumming of the rain. I ...
