"Trans" ? Would that be transparent or translucent ? Glad to see someone else wears see-through plastic outdoors. I have been for a walk a few times around my local park recently wearing my Jeantex Frank see-through plastic jacket. I intend to do the same tomorrow as rain is forecast for most of the day. If the rain is particularly heavy I might wear my longer Pro-X Elements Fred see-through plastic mac.

Well what a morning that was in Southampton, I went out just before 6am just as it started to rain and with in minutes I was stood there being pelted with heavy rain and this must of happened 3-4 time's over about 4 hour's, the heaviest rain was the 3 down pour that must of lasted a good 10 minutes. Of course by this time I was really wet even though I had on a PVC raincoat but the rain was still getting in, can't wait for the next down pour to do it all over again.

That sounds really nice being in your cagoule all day and now going to sleep in it as well, I'm going to have to try that feet and see if I can get any where near that as I also like to wear any of my raincoats and especially if i can do it for the same amount of time then that would be great, hope you made it to morning.

We’ve had a lot of rain this past week but most storms occurring during night hours leaving clear skies in the daytime.

I look forward to the fall when a full day of rain in a cooler temperature day requires rainwear!

The summer came back. So not actually rainwear weather here. But that is no excuse for not wearing anything shiny.
So I am sitting here in my hot homeoffice wearing ine like these until it is hetting really wet inside:

I also drink a lot to boost the process. I hope noone will make a video call..... normal phone calls are not so much of a problem after a while. The rustling gets weaker as soon as it is enogh humid inside.

Tonorrow I will probably do the same with a nice a long shiny trench coat.
