prefer the rain in the summer when its warm really. The only snag is that rainwear can then be a bit sweaty. Not that keen on cold rain like today, trouble is you get all wrapped up in rainwear and then need to go in shops where it is warm and its rather uncomfortbale. Something of adilemma really

More fun when it's a bit cold - you can get lovely and cold and wet, then it's so nice when you go indoors into the warm again

And, of course, one can still buy them from stores like Weathervain or Dark Horse and both of these are on the Web.

Furthermore, there was a maker called Farrell and a search for that might be useful.

it's useful in heavy rain as it covers my legs and the saddle - it's calf length even when i'm in the saddle, so it covers the tops of my boots. rain just runs down the coat and then down the outside of the boots

Whenever we look out and see it's pouring with rain, we think "It's time for a muddy walk!"

Never really gone out for walks in my heavy raingear, but I've certainly got dressed up and sat outside in the garden after work with a large glass of decent red a few times back in the summer.
