Been locked inside a motorcycle side car (fully enclosed 'glass bubble' type), in full black heavy pvc one-piece motorcycle suit, boots and gloves, with another similarly clad older lady passenger. Stuck in traffic for ages in the blazing sunshine. Very hot and sticky.

I walked this afternoon on paths by the river that passes not far behind my house. I was wearing a black nylon sweat suit lined with metallic grey pvc inside, I was wearing briefs and a long-sleeved swimsuit. I rode 7km in the rain, I felt good.

I had to pay a visit to my "audiologist", In Exeter this afternoon. The rain was torrential, but I was well wrapped up in my long black, Satin, rubber lined, mackintosh. THE proper garment for the conditions. I also wore ankle length rubber boots. Perfect!

Navy blue 1990’s kway zip up cagoule that has a shiny coating on the inside. It’s been my go to recently and normally comes with me whatever the weather, jast in case lol.

Also had a chance canoeing on Wednesday of wearing my fluro yellow kag in a bag over the head cagoule which has a thicker more rubbery feeling coating than my other kag in a bags and seems to want to breath alot less too meaningful it doesn’t take long when being active to condensate on the inside. Had it over a think t shirt under my buoyancy aid for a few hours, felt lovely when it started to gentle stick to my bare skin.

Love those Kway gagoules, hard to find here in Sweden.

I’m out in my kayak often, always have my zip up red, nylon jacket on. And sometimes the nylon pants as well. Nice to have to keep dry from water dripping and splashing.

Yesterday (Friday) was one of those rare rainy days in London where rainwear was the only sensible choice. I wore a long, almost ankle-length hooded black raincoat, composition EVA that I believe has largely replaced PVC for some environmental reason. It was incredibly rustly, cracking loudly and announcing my presence with every move I made! Another pleasing feature was that the press studs fastened high up on the neck, holding my head high, adding to the pleasing sensation of being fully encased in rainwear. Needless to say no-one else was wearing sensible rainwear but for once I didn't feel the least selfconscious, totally rainproofed as I was, nor did I attract any attention from anyone, almost disappointingly!

As per the last time I went shopping (supermarket) and wore my favourite Totes beige hooded nylon mac. No sightings this time. My wife was with me so could’nt wear red or a skirt either.

As we are lucky to have autumn weather with some rain and chilly temps now (after being roasted for weeks in the hot summer sun) I took my black opal Stutterheim Nolby with me on my way to the office. When I left in the afternoon it was raining (not much, but I enjoyed my coat). 😊
timeless fashion is the best fashion - classic "rubberized" raincoats are timeless
