Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

I prefer rubber rain wear and some heavy PVC like Grundens and Guy Cotton and also rain gear that has a heavy exterior coating of polyurethane.

Nylon please....! I like all raingear but nylon is my favourite. Cagoules and overtrousers - Swish, Swish, Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiish!

Although I love rubber rainwear, my favourite raingear used to be the cotton backed mackintoshes similar to the shiny Rukka style ones. Sadly they are very hard to get hold of now.

I gotta say that pvc backed nylon (reggatta type ) is my favorite but also love pvc, !

It has always been PVC/Plastic for me, but I do enjoy wearing Rubber/Latex as well.

For me it "hasta be plastic" smooth, thick and crisp, so it makes some noise.

I prefer rubber, but the really good rubber raingear -- kleppers and rubber macks -- are very expensive. And while nothing beats them for heavy-duty rain protection, it is really hard to keep them in decent condition, especially if they get used a lot.

So for everyday outdoor use, I'm wearing more heavy-weight PVC. (I'm just now looking for some good offshore-quality PVC gear -- posted another topic asking about that.)

When we're doing the full-on fetish thing, I go for head-to-toe latex clothing and rubber raingear. My wife prefers latex on the inside and PVC on top of that.

Of course, boots are a different matter. Rubber riding boots, waders, regular rainboots -- they're the only way to go.

I don't care for rubber or nylon but just love mooth semi transparent gray pvc. I have one very nice raincoat made from it.

My top 3:

1: pvc
2: rubber
3: nylon

I prefer pvc the most because its easy to use and always shines, rubber needs lots of care (shiny spray and powder).
