Favorite rainwear material? Why (optional)?

Nylon cagoules/overtrousers and wellies.

Mine has to be unlined pvc. The shiny glass clear stuff is my fave.

I'm with you on that. I like to call it plastic rather than PVC, which i see as a coating on a fabric material. Either way if you forced me to wear a clear plastic or PVC garment id be equally thrilled! I always see transparent as being kinkier, sort of "oh so you like to wear plastic and force me to see your naked body under it you naughty boy!", or the sight of a nude girl under the clear material is so yummy!

Definitely shiny pvc or rubber, it has a lovely feel especially when worn next to your skin. Linings a definite no no !!!

Absolutely. Smooth, soft, cool, shiny PVC feels amazing against the skin. A lining/coating on the inner side of the garment detracts from the sensual qualities of the PVC.

Swishy crinkle nylon, pvc or pu backed. Clear plastic and pvc too

Nylon for me. I like the feel, the swishy sound and the way it looks when it catches the light.

[Hotnylon123]

Yes i agree its nice when the light catches it especially on photoes .

Always liked the "frosty clear" type of pvc or plastic. Pants, suits, jackets all good. The swish, crinkling and crackle adds a special dimension. Must connect with my childhood when we all donned rainwear of those qualities.

Me, too. My preferred fastening has always been silver press studs, or poppers as we used to call them.

When I was at boarding school I developed a love for my school regulation gaberdine mackintosh, and this has stayed with me all my life, but I have worn rubber mackintoshes and rubber anoraks. They are more practical these days. I especially like the heavy duty nylon anoraks that I've got as they have a thick rubber lining as well. They have a very good hood and the front zips right up to my nose.
I love wearing one (or more!) under my gaberdine mackintosh or under my anoraks. They are really thick and heavy and soon bring out a lovely warmth inside.
All my mackintoshes and anoraks must have hoods and they are worn up more than down!
