Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

It was absolutely pouring with rain. Dad had his Mac buttoned up and I'd zipped up my anorak fully. It was almost a mile’s walk back to the car from the football ground, through the crowds of similarly clad people, leaving the stadium after our latest defeat. So when we got back to the car we were b...

Hi
Well I’m not in a place to do a meet up as I don’t live anywhere near Carlisle - but I used to! I grew up in both Carlisle and Brampton back in the day - and I had my first meaningful “Mac experience” in Brampton Market Place!

Thanks for all your replies - and range of thoughts too! My Dad’s Gannex absolutely stank! Particularly when wet. I think it was that coat that subconsciously got me started on rainwear. I can remember him owning it when I was very young. My earliest memories of it would have been when I was just 3 ...

Hi Everyone I’m a newbie on the forum, and as you might guess from my username, I’m into Gannex Macs - amongst other rainwear things.

I used to be scared to wear my stuff but I’m not now. I walked round the local supermarket in my wife’s Mac thd other day. ...

I’m brand new in the forum having only joined yesterday - and I love it. Totally blown away that there are so many of you out there. Other Mac enthusiasts! I’m another person who revels in the sights, smells and the feel of rainwear - and I also like it when someone in a Mac bundles me into an anora...

For me, it’s the smells, the rumpling noises, what a Mac feels like to touch - and this next one is my big one. Having someone who is wearing a Mac zip me into my anorak while they have their Mac on
