I agree that it is very encouraging to see the high street stores starting to stock plastic macs this year. Perhaps they will become available in all trendy shops, and much more importantly be seen regularly on the street. My only gripe is the ridiculous costs; £45 for a mac that, other than colour, you can buy on ebay for £10.
There is also a black longer length mac, but not to my taste. I don't like the pockets or the colour, but that is possibly just me.

Why do women insist on buying rainwear that only go down to just below butt level? When it rains their legs will get soaked, so why not wear a mac that goes down at least to calf length? I so often see girls.women walking through the rain wearing rain jackets that only reach the wait! How impractical is that in heavy rain?
